Kyle Katarn (Retaliators)

Kyle Katarn was a former soldier of the New Republic. He later became Luke Skywalker's second apprentice, after Kyp Durron. When he was knighted, he took Jaden Korr and Rosh Penin as his apprentices. He later joined Mara Jade's anti-invasion team, the Retaliators, as the team's melee combat expert.

Early Jedi Training
Kyle was first brought to the "Jedi Academy" on a space station above Coruscant by Mara Jade, along with a military colonel named Kenth Hamner. Among Luke's other students were Corran Horn and Callista Ming. Kyle, who had discovered his Force-sensitivity several years earlier fighting the Seven Dark Jedi led by Jerec, was eager to advance his abilities in the Force. After several months of Jedi training, Luke took the students to Ilum, where they constructed their own lightsabers, Kyle's which had a blue blade.

The Retaliators
After the end of the war with the Empire, Kyle was contacted my Mara Jade, who requested his help in a secret anti-invasion team on Coruscant. Kyle agreed to be the Jedi's official representative on the team and met Mara, along with Corran, Bhindi Drayson, and Fenn Shysa, on Coruscant, where Bhindi, the team's technology expert, gave them all cortosis-laced flight suits.
