Legend

this man was at one time a respected Admiral with the Old Republic's naval forces, and was known to have been part of the decisive struggles during the Mandalorian Wars. However, shortly after the defeat of the Mandalorians, Admiral Karath declared that the Republic was no longer worthy of his support. Karath fled into the depths of the Sith Empire and joined Darth Revan. Among the Sith, Admiral Karath commanded the Leviathan, the Interdictor warship he stole from the Republic. His defection to the Sith did not help the Old Republic, as it set a precedent for many other officers to abandon their positions and join the Sith. Many of these officers feared that the Sith would learn a great deal about their tactics from Karath, and defected in order to avoid a swift death. From the bridge of the Leviathan, Karath oversaw the destruction of many planets, including Taris. His triumphs were short-lived, however, when he was confronted by Carth Onasi aboard the Leviathan, during the search for the Star Forge. Onasi was a former pupil and prot�g�, and killed Karath on the ship's bridge in an act of revenge and frustration.
