Katarn was sent to the world of Kejim to act on this information and en route, fragments of Remnant communication intercepted by the New Republic were relayed to Katarn and Ors, which further affirmed the Republic's suspicions that something was going on. Katarn was at first hesitant to go; the transmission had made mention of the Valley of the Jedi. There was indeed a Remnant base on the planet where, upon a detailed inspection of the base, Katarn found strange crystals which, when analyzed, were found to be very similar to ones used in a Jedi's lightsaber. Their mission would have ended there, as Katarn didn't want to get involved with anything that involved the Force, but Ors accepted the job on his behalf—having been offered twice their usual fee by Mon Mothma. [6] Artus Prime [ ] Despite knowing the dangers of the dark side, Katarn utilized the dark powers of Force grip and Force lightning even as a Jedi Master. In spite of this, he was equally strong in light-side Force powers, such as Force absorb and Force protection, which he demonstrated during his mission with Jaden. [13]

Katarin is the daughter of Tzar Boris Ursus and took the throne in 2517 IC after her father's death in battle. [1a] Katarn was also a member of a SpecForce group assembled by the ex- Jedi Knight Corwin Shelvay, in which he teamed up with Force-sensitives Shira Brie and Erling Tredway to sabotage the superlaser of the second Death Star en route to D'rinba IV. [15] Katarans are generally uncaring to events of the outside world, their societies have many qualities that are both lawful and chaotic. They have a strong clan loyalty, but many clans are nomadic, never staying in one place for very long. They tend more toward good than evil, but have no strong tie or drive to defend it. Although Jan and Kyle owed their lives to each other (several times) Katarn was initially oblivious to her romantic feelings; It was not until the quest for the Valley of the Jedi when finally the pair declared their love, which had to pass through turbulent phases, not only through danger and death, but also coping with Kyle's dark mood swings; at some point his close bond with Mara Jade disrupted their relationship. [19] Quotes I am his daughter, he was Tzar, so I am the Tzarina, you answer to me, Patriarch, as does every Kislevite!Actor Jason Court portrayed the character in the full-motion video sequences of Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. For the close-ups of Katarn's hands and feet, actor and VFX artist C. Andrew Nelson doubled for Court. The in-game model was based on Court's appearance. Likewise, in Mysteries of Sith, Jedi Outcast, and Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Katarn is exclusively a polygonal model, without full motion video scenes, made to look like a slightly older Court. In these appearances, he is voiced by Rino Romano (in Mysteries of the Sith) and Jeff Bennett (in Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy). In Star Wars: Empire at War he is voiced by Brian Bascle and for the audio dramatizations of the Dark Forces novellas, he is portrayed by Randal Berger. Jeff Bennett's voice acting in Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy makes him the only person to have voiced Katarn more than once. Skywalker made a second offer to train Katarn when he founded the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4, and Katarn accepted, now convinced that it would help him tame his dark side. [15] In that time he put Yun's lightsaber away and built his own blue-bladed lightsaber as part of his training. [27] Katarn, once again a Jedi Knight, developed a friendship with fellow Jedi trainee Corran Horn, but when two students of the Academy fell to the dark side, Katarn's fear of succumbing multiplied. Katarn gave up the Force, entrusting his lightsaber to Skywalker, and returned to his mercenary ways as Jan Ors' partner, taking on unofficial missions for the New Republic.

" ―Jaina Solo and Katarn in pursuit of Valin Horn [40] Kyle Katarn appears as one of the hero character units in Empire at War and is one of few Expanded Universe characters in the game. His special abilities are " thermal detonator" and "sprint." He has no Force powers since the game takes place before his discovery of his connection to the Force.

Note that she may grant exemptions to these rules, and they do not extend to her own guards. [1c] History With the victory over Desann's Dark Jedi, Katarn renewed his confidence and returned to Skywalker and was promoted to Jedi Master and continued in the ways of the Force as an instructor at Skywalker's Academy. [15] [4]Before the Storm of Chaos, Katarin mostly remained aloof in the Ice Palace with very few of her subjects ever actually seeing her in person. [1d] Storm of Chaos In his later life, Kyle would admit that the prospect of being a Stormtrooper, feeling powerful and inspiring a faceless fear to the citizens, was something that he enjoyed. Katarn's blend of personalities made him a promising cadet leader while at the Imperial academy. Sergeant Major Hong especially appreciated the young cadet's skills, admiring Katarn's rational approach to his assignments and his humility when asking the superior officer for advice. [3] The Doom of Katara was a conflict on the forgeworld Katara, fought between the Imperium and Khornate forces.
