- "I did not mean to draw comparisons between Katarr and Malachor… my homeworld still exists. It is… intact. The planet was not destroyed, it remains… it orbits, dead in space, but nothing lives on its surface. It echoes, but there is no one left to hear it."
- ―Visas Marr[src]
Katarr was a colony world of the Miraluka race between Onderon and Dantooine. Although its continents were almost entirely covered by mountains, it had rather rich flora and fauna, including birds and trees. The Miraluka of Katarr built their cities with a rather distinctive, round-shaped architectural style.
All life on Katarr was devoured by the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus approximately 3,952 BBY. The attack was directed at a Jedi meeting being held on the planet. From the entire planetary population, only one being, a Miraluka named Visas Marr, survived. Sometime after the destruction of Malachor V, Visas returned to walk across the surface of Katarr.
