The Star Wars Planet Where Jedi Were Banned

Malachor made its initial appearance in the Legends continuity of the “Star Wars” universe. The planet was first fully depicted in the 2004 video game “Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.” At that time, it was referred to as “Malachor V” and served as the battlefield for the final confrontation of the Mandalorian Wars.

During this climactic battle, Revan’s forces were engaged in a fierce struggle with their relentless adversaries. The Exile, who is the player character, made a pivotal decision to activate a powerful secret weapon known as the Mass Shadow Generator. This devastating gravitational superweapon secured a victory for the Republic over the Mandalorians, but it came at a heart-wrenching price.

The activation of the Mass Shadow Generator led to the annihilation of both the Republic and Mandalorian fleets that were battling above the planet. In addition, it caused significant damage to Malachor V itself, transforming it into a desolate and fractured world that was encircled by the wreckage of innumerable warships. Depending on the decisions made by the player throughout the game, it is possible for Malachor V to be completely destroyed by the end of the story.

Whether in canon or Legends, it appears that Malachor is perpetually doomed to a grim fate, continually serving as a stark and eerie reminder of the immense dangers that exist within the “Star Wars” universe.
