Malak wields the red lightsaber throughout his tenure as a Sith Lord, including during a duel with his former Master Revan and Bastila Shan on Leviathan. During the Battle of Rakata Prime (3956 BBY), the final battle of the Jedi Civil War, Revan confronts and duels Darth Malak again aboard the Star Forge. Revan defeats and mortally wounds his former apprentice during the battle. Malak dies regretting his dark deeds. Malak’s body and lightsaber become engulfed in flames during the defeat and destruction of Star Forge.
