Ajunta Pall hinted that it may have been known to, and used by, the early Sith. While the data in each one was incomplete by the time the reformed Revan discovered them, their combined information was enough to reveal the location of the Star Forge.Īs an artifact of the dark side, the Star Forge corrupted those who used it, feeding its desire for death. The Rakatan Builders destroyed the Star Maps after the completion of the Star Forge, but these slowly repaired themselves with the Star Forge's technology. This trait was replicated in certain artifacts, such as the Star Maps. The Star Forge could be located with the Star Maps.Īs was the case with all apparent products of Rakatan dark side energy engineering, the Star Forge managed to survive several tens of thousands of years idling and without an operational crew by relying on its built-in automated repair systems. The field caused ships to malfunction and be captured in the planet's gravity well, sending them spiraling down to the world below. It was also protected by a deadly ship-disabling energy field projected from Lehon's Temple of the Ancients on the Rakata homeworld nearby. Internally, it was also capable of manufacturing thousands of battle droids for defense, and possessed numerous heavy blast doors that ran throughout the entire factory. Instead it depended entirely on its massive ship production capability as a means to defend itself. While having few apparent docks for capital ships, many fighter craft and smaller freighters were able to dock at bays located on each of these fins.Įxternally, the Star Forge possessed very little defensive weaponry, save for several turbolaser batteries positioned near its hangar bays. The fins extended downward to draw matter from the star of the Rakata system, using it to produce weapons and armament. Capital ships could easily move between the gaps of the three "fins" that radiated outwards from the central spherical structure. The size of the Star Forge was extraordinary for its time. " The Star Forge… I've never seen anything like it." ― Carth Onasi His apprentice Darth Malak, on the other hand, planned to explore deeper into the Star Forge after disposing of his Master. Aware of the semi-living superweapon's ability to corrupt its users, Darth Revan limited his contact with the dark side artifact to avoid allowing it to control him as it did the Rakatans. The Star Forge, now a fusion of technology and dark side energies, began corrupting the Rakata in order to gain the immense power it required to operate itself and ultimately caused the collapse of the Rakata Empire. As a result the Star Forge became an immense tool of dark side power. This technological marvel came at a terrible cost, as the Rakata were by nature a cruel and savage species the Star Forge began feeding off these negative traits inherent in its creators. The Rakata, also known as "The Builders," constructed the massive space station through the use of slaves from many subject worlds including Belsavis, Corellia, Coruscant, Dantooine, Drall, Duro, Kashyyyk, Manaan, Selonia, Sleheyron, Malastare, and Tatooine.
The Star Forge drew energy and matter from a nearby star which, when combined with the power of the Force, was capable of creating an endless supply of ships, droids, and other war material. It was constructed by the Rakatan Infinite Empire in 30,000 BBY, five thousand years before the rise of the Galactic Republic. The Star Forge was a giant automated shipyard, designed to create the most powerful army of all time. It is a machine of invincible might, a tool of unstoppable conquest." ― The Overseer " The Star Forge is the glory of the Builders, the apex of their Infinite Empire.
