We lost the ship, and a lot of good people. And for what?
—Carth Onasi
The 'Endar Spire' was a Hammerhead-class cruiser that served with the Galactic Republic Republic Navy during the Jedi Civil War. In 3956 BBY, it was assigned to Jedi Knight Bastila Shan and crewed by, among others, veteran commander Carth Onasi, Ensign Trask Ulgo, Revan, and several Republic soldiers's. It was part of a larger Jedi battle fleet, designed to stop the invading fleets of Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Malaks Sith Empire.
While traveling over the planet of Taris, the Endar Spire was attacked by Malak's Sith. Part of the Dark Lord's forces, led by Darth Bandon, boarded the ship aiming to capture Shan alive, Those Sith troopers and Dark Jedi killed most of the Endar Spires crew, while Sith warships and starfighters kept the ship intact as the boarding team attempted to take Shan prisoner. Revan, Ulgo, Onasi, Gurragann, and several other Republic Soldiers engaged the Sith and made their way to the ship's main bridge in search of Shan, who had already escaped. Shortly thereafter, Revan, Onasi, Benkins, and Lancoln got in an escape pod and fled as well, with Ulgo sacrificing himself so that Revan, Onasi, Gurragann, Benkins and Lancoln would survive. Realizing that Shan was no longer aboard the ship, the Sith fleet opened fire on the Endar Spire, completely destroying it.

A series of blast doors within the ship's corridors could be magnetically sealed to protect against an attack from an enemy boarding operation. Crew quarters were equipped to house two crewmen, but due to rotating shifts, it was rare for roomates to see each other. The Endar Spires bridge, located in the bow of the ship, was home to the ship's navigation computer, Computer terminals lined the outside walls of the bridge, with a chair positioned in front of each one. A large viewport stretched around the front, port and starboard sides of the bridge, providing a view into space in three directions, The escape pods were located on the command deck, accessible from a door on the bridge. There were at least four escape pods aboard the vessel.
