Kaskutal
this Gotal was tested for admittance to the Jedi Order some six centuries before the Battle of Yavin. Unfortunately, due to his age and the shallow depth of his sensitivity to the Force, he was turned down for training by Jedi Knight Marus Timpel. He returned to Antar 4 and eventually became a successful businessbeing speciallizing in negotiations and intercessions. When Timpel arrived on Antar 4 several decades later, Kaskutal was initially reluctant to meet with him. His admiration for the Jedi won out, and he agreed to talk with Timpel. As Timpel began explaining his frustrations with the Jedi Order, Kaskutal became aware that Timpel was expressing many of his own opinions. After a series of meetings and discussions, they decided that it was time to establish a paramilitary group which supported the Jedi Knights but was not under the control of the Jedi Order. Kaskutal provided much of the initial funding, with which they founded the Antarian Rangers. The organization grew quickly, and managed to survive Timpel's untimely death. Kaskutal decided that it was time to retire from active duty, and took up a more administrative role, and helped the Rangers expand into more than fifty different systems. (WOTC, HG)

Kasmin
manufacturers of hovercraft turbopumps, Kasmin makes the most refined heavy-duty blowers on the market. Mekuun used Kasmin pumps to power the Hoverscout combat vehicle. (ISB)

Kass Tod
this young, female Zabrak was one of the many Jedi Padawans who were part of the task force dispatched to the planet Jabiim, during the height of the Clone Wars. Under the command of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Kass and her small force remained behind the main battle lines, until the main force managed to overrun the main weapons emplacement of the Jabiim rebels. Obi-Wan then ordered Kass to cut off any rebel retreat along the flanks of the main Republic line. After her Master was killed in battle, Kass rejoined the group of surviving Padawans and tried to get back to the main Republic outpost. One of the few things that kept her going was her love for Mak, who served as her pillar of strength. When the surviving Padawans banded together in an effort to stop the advance of Alto Stratus, Kass and Mak fought bravely for four days before cornering Stratus on the battlefield. Kass managed to severe Stratus' right leg before a Hailfire droid fired its rockets at the Jedi. Before they could finish Stratus off, Mak and Kass were killed in a fiery explosion. (RBJ)

Kassa
this searing ball of rock was the innermost planet of the Adega System. (GORW)

Kassandre
the members of this crime family were killed in the explosion that destroyed the Alaspin Casino. (SSR)

Kassar Kosciusko
this Tarro was a friend of Meysen Kayson, and an operative and assassin working for the Alliance. He saved Kayson's life on Pernam Minor. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Kosciusko was known as the owner and operator of the Royal K Hotel and Casino, located on Kwenn Station. He was known to his associated as "Mr. K," and was rumored to be the assassin behind the death of Moff Chorkun. Kosciusko has a long scar on his face, the result of an attack by the Loag on Novor 23. He and the five Loag had been chasing the same target, and only Kosciusko survived the skirmish. (GG12, SWJ6, CRO)

Kassido
a planet. (HNN5)

Kasslan
this female Tarasin was the Mother of the Vriisan irstat during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She agreed to help a group of explorers locate the ancient treasure trove of documents which had been created by Reidi Artom some 200 years earlier. (LFCW)

Kassler
this miserly, grizzled old man was the Captain of the independent freighter Ravelev. He hired Platt Okeefe to work aboard the ship, some two years after she served aboard the Starlite Cloud. (PSG)

Kassoti
this form of spice was mined on Naboo's smallest moon, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Kassoti spice had to be processed in a plasma bath shortly after mining, and the primary processing facilities were located near Naboo's major starports. All kassoti mining was controlled by the Naboo Moon Mining Union. Just before the onset of the Clone Wars, mining ships were forced to land at remote starports, when Queen Jamillia closed off the larger ports so that refugee traffic could land safely. The Union began a series of "sit-in" protests, leaving their ships in port and preventing refugee ships from landing, in protest of the loss of spice caused by delays in getting it from remote ports to the larger cities for processing. (HNN5)

Kast
this common, albeit archaic, Zabrak surname meant "mercenary" - or, more literally, "food warrior", referring to an ancient Zabrak practice of paying mercenaries with food. (GCG)

Kast, Hundria
this woman was the leader of the Alvorine police force, during the early years of the New Republic. She supported the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War, and was one of the few survivors of the Imperial massacre at Kolanda Station. As Marshall, she was repsonsible for ensuring that Krova the Hutt was brought to trial for her crimes, after the bounty hunter Langro Dis captured Krova. Marshall Kast and her team were unprepared when a team of Dark Side adepts tried to captured the Hutt, hoping to recover a Sith Holocron. (GMR5)

Kast, Jodo
the bounty hunter wore Mandalorian shock trooper armor, similar to that worn by Boba Fett, although it is unknown if his armor is as modified. In reality, Kast was once a Special Ops resistance fighter during the earliest days of the Galactic Civil War. On a mission to Goratak III, he killed a man that he thought was Boba Fett, and the belief that he had killed the infamous bounty hunter gave him an idea. Kast decided to abandon the rebellion, and set out on his own to become a ruthless and cunning bounty hunter. Kast patterned his own life after Boba Fett, and often let his quarry assume he was the famous bounty hunter. After obtaining his Mandalorian armor from a scrap heap on Zaadja, he often got jobs for his resemblance to Fett, when the party posting the bounty wanted Fett's reputation but couldn't afford it. It was Kast who pursued Ponda Baba through Truuzdann. He later teamed up with Puggles Trodd and Zardra when he was approached by Captain Parlan to hunt down Adar Tallon. When Kast took a New Republic bounty to hunt down Jerresk's pirates, he came under the notice of Dengar, who relayed the hunter's impersonation of Boba Fett to Fett himself. Fett, using the alias Sava Brec Madak, hired Kast to hunt down the ficticious Satnik Hiicrop. Hiicrop was none other than Boba Fett, who managed to capture Kast on Nal Hutta some five years after the Battle of Yavin. Fett injected Kast with a neural toxin to disable him, then blew up the building Kast was lying in. (TM, SCRE, EGC, TOD, SWI80)

Kastays
this ancient Aaris was a noted military leader in his time, and was also a scientist and visionary. It was Kastays and his team who discerned the downfall of their civlization, after witnessing a comet pass through the night skies over Aaris III, and he set out to record everything they could about the Aaris civlization before it was destroyed. They cloistered themselves in a temple which became known as the Place of Kastays, where they were presented with the Plaque of Victory. Shortly after the Plaque was recovered, the Aaris civilization was destroyed in a planet-wide civil war. (DARK.)

Kastays
this was the name given to the ancient Aaris city which surrounded the Place of Kastays. (DARK)

Kastin
see OM811 (AIR)

Kastolar Sector
this area of the galaxy included the planet Sneeve. (HNN5)

Kastovar
this bounty hunter wore a suit of body armor, augmented with a Mk 45 vest. (GUN)

Kat
this Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "moon" or "white", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

Katana
this was the traditional, bladed sword used by the ancient Jedi Knights. (WOTC)

Katana
this was the name of the flagship Dreadnaught in the Katana Fleet. The Katana was one of 200 such Dreadnaughts, which were called "The Dark Force" due to their dark coloration and lack of interior lighting. The entire Katana Fleet was lost on their maiden voyage when a hive virus invaded the crew. The dying crew tried to slave all the ships together, but the command crew was by this time also insane, and they blind-jumped into hyperspace and disappeared. Decades later, the rumors of the Dark Force were proven factual, when the location of the ships was discovered by Talon Kaarde. Like the rest of the Dark Force, the Katana was in good working condition when it was recovered. However, as soon as its weapons were fired, the Katana's systems fried themselves, rendering weapons control useless. (DFR)

Katana Fleet
this fleet of 200 Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruisers was commissioned by the Old Republic, during a period some ten years before the Clone Wars, when such an expense was incredibly unjustified. Note that Dark Force Rising also places the loss of the Katana Fleet some fifty years before the Battle of Endor. However, the plan was approved based on the fact that they were fitted with full-rig slave circuitry to cut down on the huge crew size, as only about 2,000 crewmen would be needed. Called "The Dark Force" due to their dark coloration and lack of interior lighting, the Katana Fleet was lost on their maiden voyage when a hive virus invaded the crew. The dying crew tried to slave all the ships together, but the command crew was by this time also insane, and they blind-jumped into hyperspace and disappeared. The loss of the Katana Fleet sparked a renewed call for decentralized ship automation, away from central computers and toward a pool of droids. It also began a period fo dedicated research into the nature of hive viruses, although a cure would take decades to uncover. After the disappearance of the Katana Fleet, it became the stuff of legend. Some five years after the Battle of Endor, the rumors of the Dark Force were proven factual when the location of the ships was discovered by Talon Kaarde, who had stumbled onto the fleet's location fifteen years earlier. His information was given to the New Republic, but also stolen by Grand Admiral Thrawn. Thrawn's forces managed to get to the fleet just before the Republic, but both sides managed to secure parts of the fleet. The ships, when found, were still in good working condition, with all lighting and life support systems still activated and running. Power and certain other systems needed some realignment, but in general the Katana Fleet was intact. Of the original 200 Dreadnaughts, more than 170 were recovered by the Imperials. Six had already been recovered by Garm Bel Iblis, leaving just fifteen - including the Katana itself - for the New Republic to recover. (DFR)

Katanos VII
this barren, remote world was the site of several mining operations during the last years of the Old Republic. The atmosphere of the planet was laden with heavy clouds and electromagnetic interference, making any approach and landing difficult at best. Katanos VII was considered a prize by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, since it was a prime source of cortosis ore. (T19)

Katarkus, Ludwin
this Jedi Master was part of the team which was dispatched to resolve the growing conflict between the Virgillian Free Alignment and the Virgillian Aristocracy, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. Their transport was destroyed upon arrival, and it was believed that Katarkus and his Padawan, Danyawarra, were killed in the explosion. Danyawarra managed to survive, however, and took Katarkus' place as commander of their clone troops. (HNN4, SWI84)

Katarn
an arboreal predator native to the planet Kashyyyk, the katarn was a sleek quadriped with a thin, rodent-like tail and prehensile claws on their hands. The head of a katarn was crowned by a bony ridge that flares backward from the face, which served to protect the neck of the beast. The beak of the katarn was hard and bony, and was used to dig out tree-burrowers from the wroshyr trunks. Although vicious when cornered or surprised, katarns could sometimes be befriended, but usually on the katarn's terms. This friendship could last for the katarn's lifetime. (HTTE, TTSB, ANT)

Katarn Armor
this was the name given to the modified clone trooper armor that was given to those clones who were decanted and trained as commandos, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The primary difference between the basic suit of armor and Katarn armor was in the electronics, which provided a wide range of sensors and communications systems to the commando's helmet and heads-up display. Commando-to-commando communication could take place entirely within the helmet, and no external sound could be heard to give their position away. Many of the Jedi Knights who worked with the clone commandos were ill at ease with the apparent detachment of a commando who was talking with his comrades. The commandos were obvious from other troopers by the weird, blue glow that eminated from their T-shaped visors. Unlike the standard clone trooper armor, Katarn armor was painted a dull gray, to help with camouflage. The training of a clone commando was intense, and although they were taught to obey orders like rank-and-file clone troopers, they were more independent in their missions. They were not as independent as the ARC troopers, though. (RCHC)

Katarn Clan
this was one of the many "clans" formed by the Jedi Council to facilitate the training of young individuals, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Like other such groups, the Katarn Clan was made up of children of varying species between the ages of four and eight standard years. They trained in these groups until they were thirteen years old, at which time they were either chosen by a Jedi Master as a Padawan learner or given other duties outside the Jedi Order. (PJSB)

Katarn Commandos
the crack squadron of guerilla warriors who were teamed with the former mercenary Kyle Katarn during the early days of the Galactic Civil War. When Katarn retired from active duty, Judder Page rose from the ranks to become the leader of the group. Their name changed to Page's Commandos, but their expertise didn't change. Their insignia was formed from the seal of the New Republic, with a stylized katarn beast leaping across and in front of it. (DF, DFRSB, TTSB, FP)

Katarn, Kyle
Kyle Katarn was born to a farming family on Sulon, and was raised with the ideals of hard work and perseverence. When he was old enough, he enrolled in the Academy for two reasons. First, it would allow him to pursue his own military interests. Second, he felt that it would help his father gain prosperity and recognition. While he was at the Academy, Kyle's family - and all of Sulon - were destroyed in an Imperial invasion. The Empire's agents at the Academy blamed the attack on the Alliance, spreading the seeds of hatred for the Alliance. They failed to cultivate them, though, when they denied Kyle funeral leave. Thus, he grew to hate the Empire equally. As the Empire became more crystallized, Kyle became more and more frustrated with his service to it. When he encountered the captive Jan Ors, she persuaded him to help her escape. The persuasion came at a time when Kyle was most disheartened, and so he freed her and took up the life of a mercenary. He worked for anyone who would pay him, since he had no love for the Empire or the Alliance. However, Jan Ors petitioned Mon Mothma to seek out and hire Kyle Katarn, for she recognized in him the potential ally he could be. Mon Mothma agreed. His first mission was part of Operation Skyhook. He was asked to single-handedly infiltrate the secret Imperial base on Danuta and steal the plans to the original Death Star. He succeeded, escaping the base and turning the plans over to the Alliance. He stayed with the Alliance, and was the agent responsible for obtaining early clues to the Empire's Darktrooper development program. Katarn, again working alone, discovered the location of several manufacturing facilities and the main Darktrooper base - the Arc Hammer - and was able to defeat Rom Mohc in one-on-one combat to halt the Darktrooper development and destroy the Arc Hammer. When Katarn returned from these missions, he was asked to train a group of crack Alliance commandos for undercover missions such as Operation Skyhook. Kyle agreed, and quickly formed a tight-knit group of agents. The relationship between Jan and Kyle continued to grow, and they became a formidable team of agents. When Kyle retired from service, one of the commandos - Lieutenant Page - took over as the leader of the commando squad. Sometime afterward, Kyle was visited by the spirit of Rahn, and told of the Jedi heritage of his father. Many years before, Kyle's father had helped a Jedi Master close of the Valley of the Souls. When the Dark Jedi Jerec tried to enter the Valley, Rahn managed to penetrate the physical world and enlist Kyle's help in defeating Jerec and his minions. In the wake of he defeat of Jerec on Ruusan, Kyle trained briefly with Mara Jade before nearly falling to the Dark Side on the planet Dromund Kaas. After fleeing the planet, Kyle enrolled in training at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 fulltime. He provided both military and tactical assistance to the Jedi and the New Republic during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Throughout this time, Kyle continued to work with Jan on various missions for the Republic. It was during the invasion that Kyle first asked Jan to marry him, and his initial reasoning caused her to decline the offer. She didn't want to get married because they might die any day. She told Kyle that she would marry him when they were ready to get out of the military and settle down to raise a family. During the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Kyle was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships. After the resolution of the Yuuzhan Vong conflict, Kyle set out on his own, and was not seen for many years while he searched for information about the Sith. His travels brought him to Daye Azur-Jamin, who had been twisted to the Dark Side of the Force by a Dark Jedi. Kyle was able to defeat the Dark Jedi and restore Daye to the Light Side, but Daye carried with him a terrible secret. A Force-sensitive Yuuzhan Vong female had made her presence known, and she was exceptionally strong. Kyle and Daye then set out to locate this Yuuzhan Vong before she could cause anymore harm to the galaxy. (DF, SWSB, DA, DF2, SWDB, UF, T21, WOTC)

Katarn, Morgan
this native of Sulon was Kyle Katarn's father, having married Patricia Katarn and started a family during the last years of the Old Republic. He was also quite sensitive to the Force, but was untrained as a child. He recognized that he had certain gifts when he used the Force to nudge a bully off-balance, sending the other child over a ten-meter cliff to his death. With no witnesses, Morgan told his parents that the bully just slipped, but he kept his knowledge of the Force a secret. Years later, after the accidental death of Patricia, Morgan retired at about the time Kyle enrolled in the Imperial Academy, hoping that his son could receive an education despite the family's poor status. Shortly afterward, the Empire subjugated Sulon. Morgan couldn't sit back and watch his world destroyed, so he joined the Alliance. During the evacuation of his friends and his assisting the Alliance, Morgan learned of the location of the Valley of the Jedi. He used many tricks to hide the location of the Valley from evil eyes, including creating a map to its planet in the ceiling tiles of his house. He told his good friend Qu Rahn about his discovery, for Rahn was also searching for its location. Rahn recognized the strength of the Force in Morgan, and realized that Kyle would eventually become a Jedi. Rahn entrusted his lightsaber to Morgan to give to Kyle, so that he could locate the Valley and protect it from Dark Jedi. After Rahn's death at Jerec's hands, Jerec who travelled to Sulon and killed Morgan and stole the tiles. (DF2, SFE, RAG, WOTC)

Katarn, Patricia
this woman married Jedi Master Morgan Katarn, and was the mother of Kyle Katarn. Patricia was accidentally killed when a BT-16 perimeter droid used on the farm blew a sensor system and mistook her for one of the small creatures that roamed their farms. Before anyone could react, the BT-16 shot and killed her, leaving the Katarns devastated. (WOTC)

Katarn-class Boarding Shuttle
this Rendili StarDrive shuttle was designed with a nose-end airlock. The shuttle was structurally enhanced so that it could ram into a target ship. Once the target was hulled, plasma torches mounted around the airlock would open a hole, and the airlock would seal around it. Assault troops could then board the target ship through the airlock and begin their take-over. This all could be accomplished in less than two minutes. The Katarn-class shuttle was armed with a single, front-mounted double laser cannon, and measured 28 meters in length. It could transport up to 50 troops and 500 kilograms of equipment, and required a crew of three. (ROE)

Katarr
this planet was one of the last known colonies worlds of the Miraluka. It was a beautiful world of rocky mountain ranges and temperate jungles. The ancient Jedi Council met on Katarr, just before the Mandalorian Wars, to try to discern the growing power of the Dark Side of the Force. Unfortunately, the gathering of Jedi attracted the attention of Darth Nihilus and his Sith followers. In an effort to drain the planet of its energy, Darth Nihilus destroyed the entire population of Katarr and left the planet a barren wasteland. Only Visas Marr was spared, although she never learned why her people were killed or why she was chosen to live. Katarr was abandoned after the Miraluka colony was destroyed, and it simply orbited its star as a dead world. (KOTOR2, LAWS, T24)

Katarra
this young, female Wookiee led the underground resistance which sprang up after the Empire subjugated Kashyyyk and began taking Wookiees as slaves. She organized Wookiees in the city of Rwookrrorro and its environs. Like her father, Tarkazza, Katarra was a striped Wookiee distinguished by her brown fur and tan stripe. (RD)

Kata-wata
this shrub-like fern was native to the Forest Moon of Endor, where it served as a hiding place for many of the moon's smaller forms of life. The kata-wata was also used by the Ewok for a number of things. The long fronds were used in building walls and as a roofing material, which the fluid-filled stems were rendered down by Ewok shamans and used as a medicinal agent. Despite its abilities when used on Ewoks, which included use as a coagulant and as a salve against infection, it proved largely ineffective on Barabel individuals. (GMR9)

Katchni
a creature without any sense of reason or control. (VOF)

Kateel
this young woman a member of the Kuhlvult family of Kuat, and sister to Kodir. However, when Kateel threatened to expose her sister's plans to take control of Kuat Drive Yards, Kodir had Kateel kidnapped and then had her memory erased. From that point on, the only name Kateel knew for herself was Neelah, the only way she could pronounce her name as an infant. (SLS)

K'atel, Joli
this young girl was the daughter of Min K'atel, and a native of Belasco. Twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, Joli was infected with the bacteria which swept through the Great Sea every seven years, and was very ill when it was revealed that the bacterial invasion had been engineered by Jenna Zan Arbor. Joli was one of many children who received a doll from the disguised Jedi Master, R'aya Noor, who had been under the control of Ona Nobis. She showed the doll to Qui-Gon Jinn, allowing him to positively determine Noor's presence on Belasco. (TDR)

K'atel, Min
this man was the planetary leader of Belasco, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. He was unaware that the recurring bacterial plague which swept the planet ever seven years was actually the product of Jenna Zan Arbor, believing that she was a savior to the Belascans for helping them cope with it. (TDR)

Kateru Sea
one of the two oceans which cover the planet Gacerian. (PG2)

Kath
a reptilian, alien race. (AIR)

K'ath
this many-tiered world is renowned for the production of delicate figurines made from seashells. (GOF4)

Kath Hound
this predatory canine was native to the planet Dantooine. There were two known species of kath hound, a horned species and a hornless species. Although both were dangerous, the horned species was considered the more dangerous of the two species. (KOTOR)

Katharsis
about twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, this form of entertainment became overwhlemingly popular on the planet Telos. Ostensibly a lottery mixed with betting on the outcome of several physical challenges, Katharsis allowed every native of Telos the chance to become incredibly wealthy with each round of play. Telosians gathered in huge domes scattered across the planet, where live coverage of the events was piped onto huge screens, while realtime updates on odds were posted on smaller terminals In the opening phase, all Telosians bet on the outcome of short battles and challenges to the players. The payouts were good, but only led up to the main event in which three natives were allowed to bet on the outcome of the final event. The winner, if they bet properly, won a huge award. All proceeds from Katharsis, which was managed by the corporation UniFy, were said to go directly into a fund which helped preserve the natural beauty of Telos. In reality, Katharsis was simply a way for the former Jedi Knight Xanatos to obtain a steady income of credits to fund his illegal mining operations. After Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi exposed Xanatos' plans, Katharsis was outlawed on Telos. (DOR)

Katharsis Day
during Xanatos' rise ot power, these were holiday-like periods when the game Katharsis was played. The entire planet virtually stopped moving, and citizens all over the planet flocked to the domed gaming chambers for their chance to win a fortune. (DOR)

Kathis, Dav
this man was an Imperial Navy officer who retired when his hitch was up. He and his wife, Leanna Carella, decided to settle down and have a family. After the birth of their son, Dav suddenly disappeared under mysterious circumstances. It was later discovered that Dav had been captured by COMPNOR agents who suspected him of selling information to the Alliance. Kathis maintained that he had done nothing wrong, and remained loyal to the Empire. (SS)

Kathol
this ancient race was believed to have descended from the Old Ones, the original beings to inhabit Kathol Sector. Sometimes referred to as the Precursors, the Kathol evolved on the planet known as Kathol. They developed an entirely organic technology, and their civilization flourished for many millennia before they were known to have created the Codex device. The Codex's activation attracted the attention of a Dark Jedi, who traveled to Kathol Sector and promptly enslaved the Kathol. When a team of Jedi Knights was dispatched to investigate the Codex, they fought to free the Kathol, but the ensuing battle was raged across the entire face of their homeworld. The intense battle destroyed all but one of the Kathol launch gates, and warped the hyperspace continuum in Kathol Sector in an event known as the Rift Disaster. By the end of the battle, the Kathol had disappeared and the Dark Jedi was killed in the explosions. It was later discovered that the Kathol had created the construct known as DarkStryder to guard the remnants of the civilization, and had stored their life-energies in the Lifewell for later restoration. Unfortunately, DarkStryder became self-aware, and chose to keep the Kathol in the Lifewell even after the danger had passed. Over the centuries, the Kathol slowly lost the ability to escape from the Lifewell, and were trapped forever. This concentration of life energy, combined with the natural elements of The Force, evolved into the Ta-Ree, and the Kathol themselves longed to be free of the Lifewell. After DarkStryder was destroyed by the crew of the FarStar, Halbret managed to reopen the Lifewell and free the Kathol. Most of the Kathol in the Lifewell allowed themselves to dissipate, preferring this kind of death to a continued, non-corporeal existence. A few hundred decided to live on, and were constantly at odds with each other. When they discovered that beings who were not from the planet Kathol were using Ta-Ree powers, as when the crew of the FarStar used them to defeat DarkStryder, the Kathol began manipulating the Ta-Ree energy to make it unusable to offworlders. (E)

Kathol
this was the name given to the only remaining world in the Kathol civilization, located deep within the Kathol Sector. Kathol orbited a binary star, and was surrounding inside and outside its orbit by asteroid belts formed from the debris of other, destroyed planets. The planet was inhabited by a variety of alien races which evolved from genetically-engineered creatures of the Kathol and DarkStryder, including the Charr Ontee, the Yapi, and the Yimi. (E)

Kathol Outback
a wild area of space located in Kathol Sector, across the Marcol Void from more populated areas. Much of the Outback is unexplored, although there are several small settlements maintained by colonists, refugees, criminals, and religious cults. Most of the settlements were unaware of the events in the rest of the galaxy, and there were several colonies which had never heard of any government but the Old Republic. (SOP, KO)

Kathol Protector
this Imperial escort carrier was part of the Charis Fleet, and had been modified to transport TIE Fighters into battle. (DARK)

Kathol Republic
this collection of ten star systems found in the Kathol Outback was created by a group of renegade politicians who saw that the Old Republic was crumbling and chose to set up their own government. They settled on fourteen worlds, twelve of which required some terraforming in order to be habitable. In order to ensure that all members worlds would be adequately defended in case of attack, all member worlds maintain a mutual defense pact. The seat of the Republic's government is located on the moon Dayark. Each member planet of the Republic elects eleven senators to represent them in the Republic's government, regardless of the individual populations. One senator from each planet is nominated for the position of president of the Republic, and this position is then voted on by all the worlds. (KO)

Kathol Rift
this collection of young suns and nebulous gas clouds forms the boundary of the Kathol Outback, along with the Marcol Void. No one has been able to navigate through the Rift and return, although it is rumored that the Aing-Tii monks use the Rift as a way to hide their worlds. (KO)

Kathol Sector
this is a remote section of the galaxy which was overtaken by Moff Sarne shortly after the Battle of Endor. The Empire had held the sector during the later years of the New Order, but Sarne was unable to take control of more than a quarter the entire sector. The Imperial capital of the sector was Kal-Shebbol. Much of the sector is uncharted, especially the Kathol Outback and the Kathol Rift. (GG2, DARK)

Kathol Tyranny
this was the name used by Sho'ban Do to describe his political stance and his vision of the Kathol Republic under his rule. (KO)

KatholNet
this was the primary news agency that reported on the events and people of Kathol Sector, during the early years of the New Republic. (DARK)

Kathracite
this form of Adegan crystal was the most plentiful, but it was discovered to be much weaker in form than the mephite crystal, making it almost unsuitable for use in the construction of a combat-ready lightsaber. Kathracite could be used in an emergency, but there was a considerable risk of an explosion due to power overload. Kathracite did have its uses, however, especially in low-powered training lightsabers. (WOTC)

Katichak
this Anzati assassin was once a student of Akku Seii, until he was hunted down and captured by Jedi Master Tholme, several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. (RT)

K'atini!
this Mandalorian command stemmed from the verb atiniir, and translated into Basic as "Suck it up!" It was most often used by military personnel. (OWS)

Katorr
this gas giant, orbited by some twenty-seven moons, was the fourth and outermost planet in the Katorrs System. (PH)

Katorrs
this star, located on the inner edge of Wild Space, was the central body in the Katorrs System, which contained the planet Adumar. (PH)

Katpat
this was a traditional Snivvian greeting. (HNN5)

Katraasii
this planet was one of many that took heavy damage during the Clone Wars. The forces of the Old Republic were routed by Separatist forces, after clone commander Jai'galaar was unable to effectively affect a retreat to higher ground. (SWI84)

Katraasii Space Port
this spaceport was known for its seedy cantinas. (MOTS)

Katrane, Joth
this Corellian pirate was sent to the Oovo IV prison facility sometime before the Battle of Naboo. During his stay at Oovo IV, Katrane swindled a number of his fellow inmates out of their credits in a variety of scams and blackmail schemes. One of these inmates eventually was freed, only to find that his pension had been acquired by Katrane, who had told the warden about the inmate's "extra income". This disgruntled, former inmate issued a bounty for Katrane's capture, in the event that he ever managed to get released from prison. Jango Fett managed to claim this bounty while Katrane was still at Oovo IV, while he infiltrated the facility in order to "rescue" Bendix Fust. (BH)

Katrium
it was believed that asteroids with large deposits of the mineral katrium were favored by space slugs. The Krish hunter Gamgalon routinely laced asteroid fields with katrium, in an effort to capture the slugs. (EGA)

Katt, Piklin
this man was the baron-administrator of the floating city of Tindark, on Cularin, until he was found murdered in his own bed. While the police in Tindark immediately deemed the death an assassination, no evidence could be found that Katt had angered anyone enough to warrant being killed. Some believed that his strict control over the criminal activites in Tindark earned him his death. (LFC)

Kattada
this temperate world was covered with shallow seas, broken by small landmasses and spectacular waterfalls. (SWEP)

Kattellyn

Katth, Zasm
one of the Emperor Palpatine's Dark Side Elite, Katth was activated by Operation Shadow Hand. Sedriss commissioned Katth and Baddon Fass to perform a number of activities on Nar Shaddaa. First, they were to enlist the aid of Boba Fett in tracking down the Millennium Falcon. Second, they were to hunt down and destroy Vima-Da-Boda. Third, they were to report on the Millenium Falcon's whereabouts so that Sedriss could capture it. Katth and Fass, both grizzled veterans of Palpatine's rule, failed on all counts, as Boba Fett escaped them, and they were both unable to capture the Millennium Falcon. Katth perished aboard his Star Destroyer Invincible when it mistakenly locked onto Nar Shaddaa's control tower with its tractor beam. The collision destroyed the capital ship and all its crew. (DE2)

Katunda
this was the second day of the Tapani local calendar's week. (PGT)

Ka-Tu-Un
this Cerean was among the refugees who were forced to flee the planet Druckenwell, when it was attacked and captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. Ka-Tu-Un tried to escape Druckenwell aboard the converted freighter Chilastra, only to discover that he was wanted by the Yuuzhan Vong. The aliens believed he was a Jedi Knight, but Ka-Tu-Un was simply one of many individuals with sensitivity to the Force but no actual training. He was, however, a follower of the Ner Yan belief, and used his connection to the Force to mentally bond with his fellow followers. Unfortunately for Ka-Tu-Un, he was sold out by Doctor Vlohei during his escape from Druckenwell aboard the Chilastra, and he was eventually captured and interrogated by the Yuuzhan Vong. (GMR8)

Katykam

Kaudine
this was one of the codenames used by Zozriodor Slayke to describe key locations of military value on the planet Praesitlyn, during the attempt by Freedom's Sons and Daughters to fend off a Separatist attack on the Intergalactic Communications Center, some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis. Kaudine and Eliey were positions that flanked Slayke's command center, and were located some 600 meters behind Izable. Like the command center and positions Izable, Eliey, and Judlie, Kaudine had a 360-degree view of its surrounding terrain, and its fire zone overlapped with Izable and Judlie. This provided the maximum defense of the command center. However, Zozridor's forces were badly outnumbered by the battle droids of the Separatists, and personnel from the Kaduine location were forced to fall back to Judlie to regroup. (JT)

Kaul
this Twi'lek male was one of the many beings who lived in the Refugee Sector of Nar Shaddaa, following the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. For reasons he never explained, Kaul knew a great deal about the inner workings of the Exchange. (KOTOR2)

Kauri
this New Republic Agave-class interdiction picket ship was assigned to the Glorious, during its attempt to capture the Teljkon vagabond. The Kauri was assigned to keep the vagabond from jumping to hyperspace by projecting a false mass-shadow into hyperspace near the ship. The Kauri was destroyed when the vagabond fled into hyperspace after Lando Calrissian breached its inner hull. (BTS)

Kauri
one of the ships dispatched to intercept the Teljkon vagabond, the Kauri was the ship that was able to get nearest to the vagabond. Lando Calrissian's yacht, the Lady Luck, was tethered to the vagabond after Lando boldly gained access to the strange ship. When Pakkpekatt ordered the Kauri nearer, the vagabond severed the connection to the Lady Luck and fired on the Kauri before jumping into hyperspace. The Kauri sustained a great amount of damage, and there were many casualties and injuries. The dead and wounded were taken to Nichen on the Kettemoor. (SOL)

Kava
this Huttese question translated into Basic as "how?" (GMR5)

Kava che copah?
this Huttese question translated into Basic as "How much for that item?" (GMR5)

Kavaan
this was the name of the primary god in the Em'liy pantheon. Kavaan was known as The Provider of the Sun, and was the being that allowed the star Kavaan'oa to rise and set twice each day. In order to appease Kavaan and keep the sun moving along its regular path, the Em'liy made blood sacrifices at the Circle of Kavaan, and ensured that the Circle as never defiled. (GMR)

Kavaan'oa
this star was the primary body in the star system that contained Shalyvane. (GMR1)

Kavaavik
originally native to Yuuzhan'tar, the long-lost homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong, this avian creature evolved over many millennia to live underground. Its once-keen eyes adapted to the low-light conditions of subterranean life, and its wings eventually became arms. The Yuuzhan Vong then stepped in, taking several specimens and bioo-engineering them to serve as sophisticated echolocation devices. Modern kavaaviks were bred for their unique senses, not for combat or other physical activity. Thus, the average kavaavik resembled a mass of squirming flesh. When worn over the head of a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, the kavaavik used its vestigial arms to grasp hold of the head, while a speciallized spinal needle was extended from the kavaavik's body and penetrated the warrior's right tear ducts, eventually connecting directly to the optic nerve. In this way, the Yuuzhan Vong could see through the eyes of the kavaavik, whuich used its sophisticated echolocation to visualized it surroundings while working underground or in darkness. The kavaavkik could not discern colors, but shapes were projected to the Yuuzhan Vong as a collection of gray images. Thus, the warrior using a kavaavik could see a datapad in front of them, but couldn't read what was displayed on it. (GMR8)

Kavafi
this man was a friend of Mammon Hoole, a relationship dating back to the time when Hoole worked as a scientist for the Empire. Kavafi was one of the scientists working in the Imperial Biological Welfare Division. After retiring from Imperial service, Kavafi then took the reins of the Mah Dala Infirmary on Gobindi. While on Gobindi, Kavafi was captured by Imperial agents and imprisoned in one of the ancient ziggurats, while a Shi'ido loyal to the Empire was put in his place. The Shi'ido then conducted experiments on the Gobindi Virus, hoping to use it as a weapon for the Empire. Some weeks later, Mammon Hoole arrived on Gobindi to enlist Kavafi's help in curing Zak Arranda, but discovered the Shi'ido in Kavafi's place. The false Kavafi was exposed and the real doctor freed, and Hoole was able to halt the futher development of the Gobindi Virus. (GOF3)

Kavakoderakanbnuarria
this relatively young, male Kriek was the k'lar, or patriarch, of the Kherkhaman clan, at the beginning of the New Republic. (SWJ13)

Kavam
this chemical was essential to the creation of bacta. It was mixed with alazhi lotion to form the thick, healing fluid. Although kavam was easily synthesized on any planet, the alazhi which was needed to create bacta could only be grown on Thyferra. (SWJ3)

Kavar
this Jedi Master was one of just five to survive the Jedi Civil War. In the wake of the fighting, Master Kavar fled to Onderon, where served as an advisor and protector for Queen Talia. When The Exile arrived on Onderon during General Vaklu's attempt at a coup, Master Kavar was pleased to find that he supported the Queen's right to rule. After Vaklu was defeated, Kavar chose to teach The Exile new lightsaber combat techniques before setting out to return to Dantooine and help rebuild the Jedi Order. (KOTOR2)

Kavil
this pirate sought to gain favor with the Empire by throwing his support to Leonia Tavira, after Tavira fled Eiattu. He was a hulking, brute of a man with stringy clumps of red hair and a myraid of scar tissue covering his face and body. Shortly before Sate Pestage was executed by Ysanne Isard, Kavil was working as a double agent, supplying Pestage with information on Tavira's actions. Kavil brought news of the mission to Eiattu which captured Leia, but Pestage knew that the actual Leia had been on Axxila at the time. (XWM)

Kavila
this was the only true continent found on the damp, watery world of Dalos IV. Covered with jungles, Kavila's population was primarily alien, with just a few pockets of human occupation. Much of the architecture on the continent was old-fashioned in style, but there was no lack of modern conveniences. (ND)
