BiographyEdit

Katarkus began training in the Jedi Order during infancy as with all Jedi of the era. Studying at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Katarkus eventually passed the Jedi Trials and was knighted by the Jedi High Council. Further pursuits of knowledge of the Force and lightsaber skill earned Katarkus the rank of Master. It was at this point in Katarkus' life that Danyawarra was first noticed at the Temple. After careful observation Katarkus chose Danyawarra as a Padawan.^[1]

In 23 BBY the High Council assigned Katarkus to mediate the ongoing Virgillian Civil War between the Virgillian Free Alignment and the Aristocracy. Consisting of two Master-Padawan teams, the diplomatic envoy was made up of Katarkus and Danyawarra, and Master Everen Ettene and Halagad Ventor. As the shuttle carrying the Jedi envoy entered Virgillia 7's orbit and touched down on the planet's surface, it was attacked by terrorists and destroyed. After receiving no word from the diplomatic team for three months, the High Council announced that it presumed the Jedi dead and would be holding memorial services for them within the Temple's walls.^[1]

While the Clone Wars overshadowed this loss, Padawans Danywarra and Ventor did reappear and rejoin the Order, serving as commander and general respectively in the Grand Army of the Republic.^[1]
