Even though the ancient Rakata attempted to destroy the information stored in the Maps, in order to prevent their former slaves from finding their homeworld and exacting revenge, these built-in repair mechanisms eventually repaired the structures and restored the data they held. The Maps were also equipped with technology that allowed them to repair themselves if damaged. Most notably, the Maps pointed to the location of the Star Forge, a titanic space station that also served as a high-capacity manufacturing facility capable of turning out war matériel at an astonishing rate. As a result, the Maps contained information regarding planets and other key locations under the control of the Empire. The Star Maps were constructed as monuments dedicated to honoring the expanse and might of the Rakatan Infinite Empire. After piecing together the fragmented information, he and his companions set out for the Lehon system to finally destroy the Star Forge. After being retrained at the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine, the mindwiped Revan was charged with once again completing the quest of accessing each Star Map to combat the continued expansion of the Sith Empire. During the Jedi Civil War, Revan was captured and nearly killed. With the massive space station and factory under their command, the newly proclaimed Sith Lords created an immense fleet with which to conquer a Galactic Republic that was still recovering from the Mandalorian onslaught. After piecing together all the information, Revan and his apprentice Malak found and took control of the Star Forge.

Through intentional sabotage from the retreating Rakata as their empire fell, much of the information contained within the Star Maps was lost. Originally, each Map indicated the precise location of the Infinite Empire's greatest achievement: the Star Forge, a factory of immense proportions. Constructed of a self-sustaining technology that was imbued with and drew upon the dark side of the Force, these Star Maps were fabricated to be monuments to the glory of the Rakatan Empire. Star Maps were artifacts left behind by the ancient Rakatan Infinite Empire. You and Bastila are the galaxy's last, desperate hope." ― Vandar Tokare, to Revan, after being redeemed
