Kathracite

Kathracite was a Shard Jedi Knight who took his name from a lightsaber crystal.

Early life
Kathracite was "born" (Shards bud off from their parents) on Orax at an unknown date. He was force sensitive but was unable to acquire a droid body and therefore never became an Iron Knight. His dreams of becoming a Jedi died when the Republic was dissolved and replaced by the Empire. Like many, he suffered under the Empire's rule and many in his colony were killed. He often dreamed of fighting the Empire but could not due to the banning of droids on Orax. However he and the other survivors from his colony were rescued by a group of Rebel soldiers and taken to a temporary base where Kathracite was placed inside the body of a disabled protocol droid, PD-F7.

Rebel life
During his days as a Rebel, Kathracite became a technician aboard a GR-75 medium transport and at one point ran into Luke Skywalker, who was confused as to why he had an odd feeling around what he thought was a mere droid. Kathracite was highly skilled in his work and was well liked by his fellow rebels. He was present at the battle of Endor, aboard the Katarns Claw.

Becoming a Jedi
Many years later Luke finally realised that Kathracite was a Shard and offered to train him to become a Jedi at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin IV, Kathracine accepted the offer with delight. He quickly became adept at form V or Shien and to a lesser extent form II, Makashi and constructed a praetor style hilt. He became very powerful in the force and customised PD-F7’s body to make his work as a Jedi easier. He eventually took on a padawan of his own, a Vurk called Enyon Bellows. He was later sent to Ensolica to help establish a temple there.
