Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic/Deck 1

Map of the first deck of the Star Forge

If you haven't returned to the dark side, then after leaving the planet Carth picks up a transmission from the Republic fleet, which has begun its assault on the Star Forge:

Dialog

Carth: The Republic Fleet must have got the message I sent as we were crashing onto that planet. I'm picking up a transmission from them now. Admiral Dodonna: This is Admiral Forn Dodonna to the Ebon Hawk, do you read us? Carth: Admiral Dodonna, this is Carth Onasi. We are receiving your transmission. Admiral Dodonna: Carth, I'm glad to see you're still alive. We've begun our assault on the Star Forge, but we're taking heavy losses. How did the Sith ever manage to build something of this scope! Carth: The Star Forge wasn't constructed by the Sith, Admiral. We don't have time for me to fully explain it, but that space station is far older than you can imagine. Admiral Dodonna: Maybe we should pull the fleet back and retreat. I don't know if we have the firepower to go up against this alien technology. Carth: You can't do that, Admiral. The Star Forge is a factory of immense power. It's been churning out the capital ships, snub fighters and assault droids that have powered the Sith war effort. You have to destroy the Star Forge now or you'll be fighting an unending wave of reinforcements. Admiral Dodonna: Then I guess we have no choice. But it isn't going to be easy. I can't even get our capital ships into position to start bombarding the Star Forge. The Sith fleet is too well organized. It's like they can guess our every move and counter our every strategy. Carth: It's because of Bastila, Admiral. She turned to the dark side and become Malak's apprentice. We suspect she's somewhere on that space station right now, using her Battle Meditation against you and your fleet. Admiral Dodonna: This is Master Vandar. A number of Jedi Knights have joined our fleet under his command. Vandar: If Bastila is using her power to augment the Sith then Malak's fleet is invincible. Our only hope is to somehow stop Bastila from using her Battle Meditation. Admiral Dodonna: How can we do that if she's on the space station? Vandar: I will send a squadron of Jedi Knights to the Star Forge to find Bastila. Their small ships will be able to fly through the Sith blockade and dock on the space station. If they can find Bastila, they may be able to distract her attention from the battle overhead. That should allow you to move your capital ships into position for a final assault on the Star Forge itself.

Admiral Dodonna: I hate to ask you this after all you've done, Carth, but the Jedi may need all the help they can get...

Carth: Don't worry, Admiral. The Ebon Hawk and her crew are going to see this through to the end!

Vandar: And may the Force be with you.

If you have returned to the dark side, Bastila thinks you may use their arrival to your advantage:

Dialog

Bastila: The Republic Fleet must have got the message Carth sent as we were crashing onto that planet. Maybe we can use their arrival to our advantage. If Malak is distracted by the attack, we should be able to get in close enough to dock on the Star Forge and hunt the Dark Lord down! Admiral Dodonna: This is Admiral Forn Dodonna to the Ebon Hawk, do you read us? Bastila: Admiral Dodonna, this is Bastila Shan of the Jedi Order. We are receiving your transmission. Admiral Dodonna: It is good to hear your voice Bastila. We had thought you were lost to us. Carth's transmission reported that Malak had taken you prisoner. Bastila: The Jedi sent to rescue me from the Dark Lord did their job well - though I am sorry to report Carth did not survive the mission. Admiral Dodonna: His loss is a great blow to the Republic. We could have used him in this battle. We were about to pull back. We're taking heavy losses against the Star Forge. Bastila: Don't pull back, Admiral. You have to attack the Star Forge now, otherwise the Sith will use its power to destroy the Republic. Admiral Dodonna: I'll try to press the attack but we can't hold out much longer. Not unless you can use your Battle Meditation to turn the tide. Admiral Dodonna: This is Master Vandar. A number of Jedi Knights have joined the fleet, under his command. Vandar: Bastila's power could help you win this battle, Admiral, but it will mean nothing if Malak escapes. Destroying the Star Forge is secondary to stopping the Sith threat once and for all. Admiral Dodonna: What are you proposing? Vandar: A small squadron of Jedi Knights in snub fighters could penetrate the Sith blockade and dock on the space station. If they can find Malak we can end the threat of the Sith... forever. Admiral Dodonna: I'll order the fleet to press the attack and provide some cover for your fighters. But what of Bastila and her Battle Meditation? Vandar: Bastila, you and... the Padawan... should join us. We will need the combined strength of our entire Order to defeat Malak. Bastila: As you wish, Master Vandar. Vandar: And may the Force be with you.

Bastila: The fools! Even Master Vandar did not realize you have reclaimed your identity as the Dark Lord! The Jedi strike team and the Republic forces will provide the perfect distraction as we hunt down your ex-apprentice. And once we have slain Malak, I can use my Battle Meditation and the power of the Star Forge to crush the Republic fleet. All our enemies will be destroyed in a single glorious day!

Either way, the Ebon Hawk approaches the Star Forge with four other small ships, two of which are blown to smithereens before they can dock with the space station.

Canderous

If you completed Canderous' dialogs, including all those unlocked after meeting Jagi's Challenge, then if you speak to him again at any point from now on:

Canderous: This looks like the end of our partnership. The battle we fight here will change the face of the galaxy. You, Revan, are the single greatest warrior of this age, and any battle we fight will bring me honor. I'll stay by your side through anything. I don't think I'm ready to give up this life of mine, this life of fighting, not quite yet. We have things we need to do here. I'm your man until the end, whatever path you take.

If you haven't returned to the dark side:

Canderous Canderous has said that he will stand by you no matter what path you take or what enemies you face.

Ebon Hawk

You disembark on the north side of the first deck of the Star Forge: if you've returned to the dark side then Bastila must be a member of your party at this time, and your remaining choice is now limited to T3-M4, Canderous or possibly Zaalbar or HK-47.

Elevator

As you disembark you're greeted by four Jedi Knights, led by a female:

Jedi Knight: You made it! Several Jedi have already gone ahead into the Star Forge. We have to strike while we still have the element of surprise!
Jedi Knight: If we don't stop Bastila from using her Battle Meditation the entire Republic fleet will be wiped out!	Jedi Knight: We have to find Malak! A victory by the Republic fleet won't mean anything if the Dark Lord gets away.
Jedi Knight: Come on, before they...

A quartet of dark Jedi appear from the elevator in the southeast corner of the docking bay:

Jedi Knight: Damn! So much for catching them unprepared.
Jedi Knight: We'll deal with these Sith - you get into the Star Forge and find Bastila! Hurry!	Jedi Knight: We'll deal with these Sith - you get into the Star Forge and find Malak!

The two groups of Jedi engage in combat: although they're evenly matched in number, the Jedi Knights cannot be reduced below 1 Vitality so their victory is inevitable, and any experience is still received even if they are the ones to kill the dark Jedi. You can simply be on your way but you can help if you want, particularly with the one nearest you attacking the female Jedi Knight to whom you've just been speaking:

If you try to use the elevator door:

[This door is locked and will not open.]

The two human male Jedi Knights now guard it, while the Twi'lek male guards the walkway exiting the docking bay to the south:

The Sith will want to cut off our escape. We'll stay here and protect the ships so we can get out of here once you stop Bastila!

The Sith will want to cut off our escape. We'll stay here and protect the ships so we can get out of here once Malak's dead!

The female Jedi Knight also guards this walkway:

We don't want the Sith to cut off our escape route. We'll stay here and hold this docking bay. You get in there and find Bastila!

We don't want the Sith to cut off our escape route. We'll stay here and hold this docking bay. You get in there and find Malak!

As you reach the bottom of the ramp in the walkway to the south and enter the tunnel, if you've returned to the dark side and Zaalbar is in your party then he attacks you:

Zaalbar: Wait! This... this isn't right. What am I doing here? I know you are evil, but I followed you anyway! What have I done? You tricked me, Revan! You twisted my mind and made me kill Mission! I will avenge her death! RAARGH!

Received: Challenge Rating 3 Killed Zaalbar

Any equipment can be retrieved from his remains, and you can return to Ebon Hawk to replace him. On the other hand, you can actually prevent this encounter by entering Solo mode before going down the walkway to the door at the end of the tunnel ahead, beyond which you'll be reunited with your party after an event is triggered.

However, save game before exiting the tunnel via the door: when you approach the junction at the bottom of the ramp in the walkway beyond, this door closes behind you and you won't be able to return to the Ebon Hawk ever again.

Assault droids

Elsewhere on the first deck, a Sith master approaches Lord Malak:

Dialog

Sith Master: Lord Malak, a team of Jedi have penetrated our defenses! Their fighters have landed on the Star Forge. Darth Malak: This is not unexpected. The Jedi are formidable opponents. Send the Star Forge's battle droids to deal with them. Sith Master: Lord Malak, forgive me... but how can mere droids be a match for the Jedi? Darth Malak: You underestimate the power of the Star Forge's droid army. Dispatch the droids. Sith Master: Of course, Lord Malak. An assault droid approaches, and the Sith master addresses it: Sith Master: The Jedi have invaded the Star Forge. Destroy them. Destroy them all.

Doors at the east and west ends of the walkway to either side of the junction are each breached by a pair of assault droids which emerge from the tunnels beyond. If you try to use the door behind you to the north:

[This door is locked and will not open.]

All use a droid shield equivalent to an Environment Shield Level 3 and a Heavy Repeating Blaster, while all but that on the left to the east can also use a Flame Thrower:

The remainder of the walkway from this junction to those with the walkway along the southern perimeter of the first deck is symmetrical along the north-south axis in both layout and encounters, so it doesn't matter whether you take the east or west fork. However, the first time you approach either door at the other end of one of the tunnels from which the assault droids emerged, the door is breached, inflicting universal damage and stunning those nearby unless Immunity: Mind-Affecting or Force Immunity: Stun prevents it. In either case, another pair of assault droids await beyond:

Beyond these tunnels the walkways go down a ramp before turning south and down another ramp to the door of another tunnel, which contains another pair of assault droids guarding the door at the south end:

Both sides of the deck can be cleared by returning to the north junction and taking the opposite walkway. An uninterrupted circuit cannot be completed since if you try to use the southernmost door opposite the one already opened:

[This door is locked and will not open.]

The east and west walkways now turn back towards the center of the deck.

Dark Jedi

As you approach a ramp down to the walkway along the southern perimeter of the deck, you notice three dark Jedi prevailing over three Jedi Knights in combat in the middle of the walkway below between the east and west junctions. You in turn don't go unnoticed:

Dark Jedi: Ah... more victims for us to slaughter.

These dark Jedi do use Force powers, but after combat with the Jedi Knights they aren't at maximum Vitality:
