The '''Katarn family''' was a family of farmers from [[Sulon]] that birthed [[Jedi Master/Legends|Jedi Master]] [[Kyle Katarn]] of the [[New Jedi Order]].

==History==
A [[Sulon]]-based family of farmers, the '''Katarn family''' consisted of [[Morgan Katarn|Morgan]], [[Patricia Katarn|Patricia]] and [[Kyle Katarn]]. Morgan also had a younger sister.

When Patricia died in an accident involving a faulty perimeter [[Droid/Legends|droid]], Morgan and Kyle were left to take care of the family farm. Eventually, Kyle entered the [[Imperial Academy/Legends|Imperial Academy]], while Morgan—without Kyle's knowledge—became involved in the local [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel]] militia in which he served as a low ranking leader. In an [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] attack on Sulon led by [[Jerec (Inquisitor)|Jerec]] and [[Captain/Legends|Captain]] [[Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Legends|Thrawn]], Morgan was captured and later beheaded by Jerec himself. Upon learning what had happened to his father, Kyle, now a graduate of the Academy, deserted the Empire and joined the Rebel Alliance as a freelance [[Mercenary/Legends|mercenary]], teaming up with [[Jan Ors]], who eventually also became his love interest.

What Kyle did not know was that Morgan was a [[Force-sensitive/Legends|Force-sensitive]], something which Kyle had himself inherited. Kyle's [[The Force/Legends|Force]] skills lay dormant, until he returned to the Katarn farm on Sulon and found a [[Lightsaber/Legends|lightsaber]] and a [[Hologram/Legends|hologram]] revealing the truth about the Katarn legacy and its connection with the Force. Kyle would eventually rise to become a powerful [[Jedi Master/Legends|Jedi Master]] in [[Luke Skywalker/Legends|Luke Skywalker's]] [[New Jedi Order]].

Morgan also constructed a droid whom he called [[WeeGee]], who was stored in Morgan's workshop. He was found by Kyle, who took WeeGee with himself, stating that the droid was, apart from himself, the last surviving member of the Katarn Family.

During the [[Yuuzhan Vong War]], Kyle and Jan discussed the possibility of [[Marriage/Legends|marriage]] as they could die at any moment, but Jan refused as she didn't want to marry Kyle out of fear.<ref name="eao">{{Tales|21|Equals & Opposites}}</ref>
