The Jedi Master told him about Desann's background and said that he had to pass a series of trials to get his lightsaber back. Upon arriving at the Jedi Academy, Katarn met Luke Skywalker and asked for his lightsaber and information on Desann.
Desann used the Valley's power to create an army of Reborn. Katarn, however, did not realize that Desann and Tavion had secretly followed him to the Valley, having theorized that he would go there to seek the power of the Force in his quest for vengeance. Returning to the Valley of the Jedi and retrieving his lightsaber Įnraged by his lover's death, Katarn returned to the Valley of the Jedi to regain his Force powers quickly, and then headed off to the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 to retrieve his lightsaber. Desann taunted him before ordering Tavion to execute Ors. Having renounced the ways of the Force, Katarn was powerless against Desann, who threw him around and choked him with the Force. He saw that Ors had been captured by Desann, a Dark Jedi, and his apprentice, Tavion. After fending off Remnant forces and evacuating the prisoners, Katarn went to the rendezvous point to meet Ors. Katarn infiltrated the facility and freed the prisoners. Tracing the crystals' origin to Artus Prime in the Outer Rim, Katarn and Ors found that the Imperial Remnant had turned the remote world into a mining facility and imprisoned its inhabitants for experimentation. Mon Mothma contacted Katarn and Ors to investigate an Imperial Remnant base on Kejim after the New Republic intercepted a suspicious transmission coming from the base containing keywords such as "Reborn" and " Valley of the Jedi." After infiltrating the base and fighting off Remnant forces, Katarn and Ors discovered that the Remnant was conducting experiments on crystals capable of storing the power of the Force. Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors are preparing to begin their mission on Kejim. He now works as a mercenary for the New Republic alongside his partner and lover, Jan Ors. Since nearly falling to the dark side, Katarn had given up his lightsaber and the Force. Like its predecessors, the game has Kyle Katarn as the protagonist. The game takes place in 12 ABY, two years after the end of Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith.
