Leaving the world on where Revan found the fourth Star Map, the Ebon Hawk
was caught by the tractor beam of Leviathan, Malak's flagship. Carth, Revan and
Bastila were captured, painfully interrogated and revealed about the destruction
of Dantooine by Saul Karath. After Saul Karath left the hall, a crew member of
the Ebon Hawk, who was hiding when Malak's troop searched the vessel, rescue the
captive three. They headed to the ship's bridge to hunt down Saul while the rest
of the party returned to the Ebon Hawk.
Encountering Saul on the bridge, the trio defeated him with many other
guards. They then faced Malak the Dark Lord himself. Malak revealed Revan's true
identity while Bastila tried to clear the reason of her action.
4A. Revan forgave Bastila, understanding that she had no choice and faced
Malak in battle.
4B. Angered, Revan accused Bastila and the Jedi of using him, claiming that
they were no better than the Sith.
With Bastila and Carth stunned, Malak and faced Revan in a solo duel. Malak
lost his ground and had to use the Force to constrain Revan. Bastila, awakened,
jumped into the battle and prevented Malak from hurting Revan. The door closed
with Malak and Bastila behind. Revan and the rest of the party escaped with
the Ebon Hawk as well as his true identity is revealed to everyone. However,
Revan didn't lose the faith of his companions.
With the final Star Map found, Revan's party headed to the revealed location
of the Star Forge. While aproaching the station, the Ebon Hawk was hit by a
strange energy and crashed on an unknown world, which was actually Rakata Prime,
the homeland of the Infinite Empire of Rakata. Revan there was gotten into the
war of the Rakatan tribes. Eventually made his way to the temple with his Force
gifted companions, Juhani and Jolee, Revan found Bastila turned to the dark
side, waiting for him on the roof of the temple. Bastila persuaded Revan to
claim his rightful place from Malak, the throne of the Dark Lord, with her help.
Revan here made a choice that change the fate of the galaxy.
5A. Rejecting Bastila's temptation, Revan remained on the path of the light.
Bastila left the world with her G-Wing in angered. Revan disable the energy
source and call for the Republic for a massive assault on the Star Forge.
5B. Tempted by the future of power and domination, Revan slew Jolee and
Juhani in cold blood. Returning the Ebon Hawk, the party was shocked by the
Revan's turning to the Dark Side. Carth ran away, saying Revan wasn't the one he
loved. Mission Vao and Zaalbar were slain mercilessly. The rest of the party
headed to the Star Forge and for the Republic for a massive assault, which would
weaken Malak's defense.
Boarding the Star Forge, Revan faced the Malak's droid army, heavy troops
and many Dark Jedi. With three-quarter of them slain, Revan stepped to the Star
Forge's Command Center.
5AA. There Revan faced Bastila, using her Battle Meditation to maintain the
Star Forge defense. Too far from reaching Revan's mastery, Bastila was defeated
effortlessly. Flabbergasted by Revan's power from the Light, she begged him to
strike her down. Revan, with the love and the bond they both shared, returned
Bastila to the light and faced Malak in final duel.
5AB. Revan, with overpowered mastery, defeated Bastila effortlessly. Casting
off the love and the bond they shared, Revan ended Bastila's life with a single
cut.
5B. Revan and Bastila faced the three strongest apprentices of Malak and
defeated them without effort. Bastila remained at the Command Center, using her
Battle Meditation to maintain the Star Forge's defense against the Republic
fleet. With overwhelmed number and the assistance from the inside, the Republic
force fell before the Star Forge, ending the life of Admiral McDodona and Jedi
Master Vandar Torake.
The final moment of Malak came when Revan walked into the platform. The two
duelled. Malak, even with the stored energy from several wounded Jedi, was no
matched for his former master.
5A. In Malak's final words, he confessed the mistakes he made for following
Revan to the Dark Side. If he had been captured by Jedi and returned to path of
light, things wouldn't had been the same. Malak's life ended in regret and
darkness. Revan's party escaped from the blowing space station and celebrated
the final victory on the ground of the Rakata Prime's temple.
5B. In Malak's final words, he confesses the righteousness of the Revan's
throne, saying Revan was everything but nothing, belong neither to the dark nor
the light. The evil was defeated by another evil, putting the galaxy into an
era of darkness and destruction with the second enthronement of Revan, Dark Lord
of the Sith.
The later fate of Revan remains unknown to us. I believe something was
revealed in KotOR2 and expect for even more in KotOR3.

Here are some "inhabitants" of Star Wars, everyone who has ever stepped the
same steps with Revan's. The list is in order of chronologic appearance.

Species: Human
Homeworld: Unknown
Occupation: Jedi Knight of the Jedi Order (Former), Jedi General
(Mandalorian Wars), Sith Apprentice (Former), Dark Lord of the Sith.
Being the closest friend of Revan's, the two shared many similarities in
their destiny.
Malak's childhood remains unknown, but he was trained at the same time with
Revan and presumably at the same Jedi Academy. Also, Malak was one of the most
promising student of the Academy with many talents, notably his swordsmanship.
In the Mandalorian Wars, When Revan called for his fellows in the Academy,
Malak was the first to join him. With the gifted power of Malak and the perfect
strategies of Revan, the two led the Republic to the final victory. However,
sharing the same fate with Revan, Malak fell to the Dark Side. Unlike Revan,
Malak relied completely on power of the Star Forge, letting himself fully
possessed by the dark energy.
When Bastila Shan led her strike team to neutralize Revan face-to-face,
Malak ordered his ship to fire Revan's flagship, in effort to eliminate both
his most dangerous enemy and the master whose place he had been wanting. He
failed, but only the Bastila's survival could reach Malak's ears. Then,
obviously, Malak claimed the title of the Dark Lord.
Fearing for the Battle Meditation, he hunted down Bastila for a long time.
After the destruction of Endar Spire, Malak destoyed the world of Taris in
order to eliminate Bastila. Once more, he failed.
Learning the truth from Calo Nord, a survivor of the destruction of Taris,
Malak sent both Calo and Darth Bandon to assassinate Revan and Bastila. And both
failed.
The effort of Malak was paid when he captured Bastila on his own ship,
turning her to the Dark Side. However, it was Bastila's turning to the Dark
Side somewhat which had ended Malak's life on the Star Forge.
Malak was ambitious when he was young which led him to the path of the dark
side. Possessed by the dark side, Malak slowly lost the humanity, becoming
merciless and hungry for power and domination. After such time, Malak wasn't
entirely evil. In his death, he regreted following Revan to the dark path,
asking himself what would had been if he had had enough strength to return to
the light.

Species: Human
Homeworld: Unknown
Occupation: Republic Troop
A crew member of Endar Spire and the bunkmate of Revan after his *rebirth*,
Trask was the one who awoke Revan and led him to the bridge.
During the escape, Trask sacrificed himself by distracting Darth Bandon in
order to clear Revan's way.
Trask Ulgo served as the tutorial instructor for the game process.
He also possibly has some connection with Selven, a Tarisan bounty huntress,
who also had a bounty on her head due to the assassination of the whole Ulgo
family, with whom Trask might has some relations.
Bah, according to what the game showed, we cannot confirmed 100% that Bandon
killed him. He might appear later in something else, even KotOR3, who knows?

Occupation: Republic Troop
A distrustful man who was betrayed by his mentor. His mentor, specifically
Saul Karath, followed Revan, turned against the Republic and destroyed the world
of Telos, Carth's homeworld, as a proof of his loyalty. Carth's wife died in the
attack and his son, Dustil went missing.
Carth later became a crew member of the Endar Spire and the one who has led
Revan to escape that had saved both of them.
Following Revan, Carth found the once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity to revenge.
Killing Saul Karath on the bridge of his own ship, Carth then learned the true
identity of Revan, but didn't lose his faith that he had given to his party
leader.
Carth Onasi was a love interest of Revan, who made her forget his deceased
wife and later was the woman he loved.

Species: Twi'lek
Homeworld: Unknown, grew on Taris
Occupation: Inhabitant of Taris
Mission Vao, a blue skin Twi'lek whose brother named Griff Vao, was an
orphan born on an unknown planet and taken to Taris as a stowaway by her
brother.
On Taris, Griff addicted to pazaak and spent an enormous amount of money on
it. He later met Lena, a Twi'lek dancing girl and left the planet with her,
leaving his sister on Taris. Mission the always thought it was Lena who made
her brother forget about his little sister.
Mission then met Zaalbar, a Wookie, in an quarrel with the Vulkars, and they
became good friends. They were somewhat *wanderers* on Taris, searching for
stuff in the dangerous Undercity.
One day, Zaalbar was caught by Gamorrean slavers in the Undercity sewers
when he was trying to clear Mission's escape. Mission ran into reformed Revan
for help, with the promise of taking him into the Black Vulkars' base. With
Zaalbar freed, Mission kept her promise to Revan and ever since, thet became
companions of Revan, following him everywhere.
Mission met Lena in coincident and was explained that it was Griff who
decided to leave her, not Lena. Revan and Mission found Griff as a prisoner
of the Tusken Raiders. Taking him out, Mission was angered to learn the truth.
Before dissapearing forever, Griff took a tach gland which was brought from
Kashyyyk and 200 credits away, all from Revan. However, Mission prepared herself
for such things about her brother, accepted that no one was perfect and felt
happy about the reunion.
Comment from Mark van Ginkel: The game is actually correct in calling them
Sandmen instead of Tusken Raiders. They weren't called Tusken Raiders until
they attacked and took over Fort Tusken (Hence Tusken Raiders), which they did
only a few years before Star Wars Episode 1. At this point in time, they are
only known as Sandmen.
I didn't say "Sand People" was incorrect but let's admit: I'm impressed ...
Despite being a Twi'lek, Mission Vao spoke Republic Basic instead of Twi'lek
language.

Species: Wookie
Homeworld: Kashyyyk
Occupation: *Madclaw*
Zaalbar was a Wookie born on Kashyyyk like the others, brother of Chuundar
and son of the Wookie Chieftain Freyyr. Chuundar, secretly made deals with the
Czerka Cooperation, offered his Wookie fellow as slaves, was discovered by
Zaalbar. Zaalbar went mad and attacked his brother, which had broken a Wookie
rule. For that, Zaalbar was exiled from the planet as a "madclaw". Traveled to
Taris, there Zaalbar met Mission Vao and a deep friendship grew between the two.
Oneday, in the sewers of Undercity on Taris, Zaalbar was caught and held
captive by the Gamorrean slavers. He was later freed by Revan and swore a life
debt, which made both him and Mission become the companions of Revan.
During the search of Star Forge, Revan visited Kashyyyk, with Zaalbar by his
sides, was intercepted by Chuundar, praised by the Wookiees as a Cheiftain and
a great hero. Chuundar asked Revan to kill an exiled Wookie in the Shadowlands,
who was actually Freyyr, the former Wookie cheiftain and the father of Zaalbar
and Chuundar. Revan then raised a revolt for the Wookiees against the slavers,
killing Chuundar. Freyyr returned to his rightful place and Zaalbar returned to
Revan's party, continuing the incompleted quest.
