Jaden Korr

"You're the best student I've ever trained and a terrific Jedi."

- Kyle Katarn

Jaden Korr was a Human male and Jedi Knight from Coruscant. A former student and apprentice of Jedi Master Kyle Katarn, Korr was one of his best apprentices and a key figure in resolving the Disciples of Ragnos crisis in 14 ABY. After the Yuuzhan Vong War, he helped Jan Ors search for his old master. During the Second Galactic Civil War, Korr became disillusioned with the Order. He then made up his mind and commenced a temporary exile from the Order which gave him the opportunity to embark on a quest to find himself, traveling to a frozen moon in the Unknown Regions after experiencing a vision of several deceased Jedi.

Korr traveled to the planet Fhost, as indicated by Mara Jade Skywalker in his vision, where he enlisted the help of spacers Khedryn Faal and Marr Idi-Shael for his quest. Arriving on the moon that had appeared in his vision, Korr encountered a group of Sith and a lone Jedi Master, Relin Druur, who had unknowingly traveled five thousand years through time from the Great Hyperspace War. On the surface of the moon, Korr and his allies encountered an Imperial research station with mad Jedi-Sith hybrid clones. After Korr and his allies were able to defeat some of the clones and the Sith, Korr took Idi-Shael, who wanted to train as a Jedi, as his apprentice. As Korr, Faal, and Idi-Shael continued to hunt the remaining clones, they were pursued by agents of the One Sith, who wanted to use Korr and the clones for the purposes of their master, Darth Krayt.

While tracking the clones, Korr was killed by Iteration, a clone of his that was intended to replace Korr in the Jedi Order, his mind and consciousness transferred to a mindspear. He was revived in the clone when Idi-Shael used the mindspear to transfer his consciousness into the clone before the clone was ready to receive them. Korr later returned to the Jedi Order.

Early life and enrollment into the Academy
"So, where did you get that lightsaber?''" "''Well, it's kind of a long story; I found myself on&hellip;"

- Rosh Penin and Jaden Korr just moments before their shuttle was attacked

Jaden Korr was a Human male raised on the galactic capital of Coruscant by adoptive parents during the Galactic Civil War. When Korr was just a young boy, his parents were killed in a shuttle accident, and his uncle Orn&mdash;whom Korr jokingly referred to as "Uncle Orn the Hutt," due to the man's obesity and bellowing laugh&mdash;took the boy in and took care of him. Korr remembered very little of his parents, mostly vague details like the smell of his mother's hair, and he knew them mostly through family holographic pictures and video recordings. As an adolescent, Korr, using one of his uncle's tools, acquired a scar on his right cheek, which never properly healed and remained there from that point on. The death of Korr's parents caused him to retreat deep within himself and become overly philosophical for his age. Over the years, that self-seclusion led to Korr's discovery of his latent Force-sensitivity. In 14 ABY, guided by the Force, Korr went to his uncle's workshop. In a dreamlike state, he used whatever spare parts he could find inside the workship to construct a working purple-bladed lightsaber, a rare feat for an untrained Force-sensitive. Marveled by the blade he had created, Korr showed the lightsaber to Orn. His uncle, scared that the boy might harm someone with the weapon, reported him to the New Republic authorities on Coruscant, and within two days, Korr was enrolled into the Jedi Praxeum on the moon of Yavin 4 to be trained as a Jedi.

After a series of space flights and multiple changes of transports, Korr ended up on the shuttle Yavin Runner II, bound to the Jedi Praxeum. During the ride, he met a fellow recruit, Rosh Penin, who was very impressed with Korr's lightsaber and proceeded to ask him how he got it. Before Korr could answer, their shuttle was shot down by hostile forces as it approached the surface. After the crash, Korr and Penin were separated from the rest of the students and proceeded to the nearby Massassi temple, but ran into some stormtroopers and a Sith Cultist, a darksider wielding a red lightsber. After Korr defeated the cultist, he investigated the temple. He saw three figures&mdash;a female and two males&mdash;the female holding a glowing scepter, pointing it at the temple. However, Korr's eavesdropping efforts were detected, and the mysterious figures turned on him, knocking him out.

Upon awakening, Korr witnessed that the three figures were gone. He then met with Jedi Masters Kyle Katarn and Luke Skywalker, who welcomed their new student to the academy and questioned him about what he saw. Shortly thereafter, he and Penin attended Skywalker's welcoming ceremony at the Praxeum. During the ceremony, Skywalker assigned the new recruits to their masters. Both Korr and Penin were assigned to Katarn as students, and they were taken to a nearby Jedi training course. Overseen by Katarn, Korr and Penin took separate routes to the finish line. On the way, however, Penin set loose a lightsaber practice droid upon Korr in the hope of slowing him down so he could finish the course first, but Korr defeated the droid. After the course, Katarn admonished Penin heavily for this careless decision, stating that it was not a competition and that if the droid had been set to Skywalker's training regimen, it would've killed Korr. Feeling guilty, Penin apologized for the incident. Korr was angry that Penin could do such a thing, but Katarn warned him not to feed his anger, and Korr accepted Penin's apology, cementing the friendship that had started to develop between them. After returning from their training course, Korr and Penin were informed by Skywalker that they would be sent on assignments throughout the galaxy as part of their training. Skywalker had also discovered that the group they had encountered was a cult affiliated with Marka Ragnos, an ancient Sith Lord of the Sith Empire, since the temple which was their target bore Ragnos's insignia. The Jedi Master instructed Korr to look for more information regarding the cult in Korr's future assignments.

Apprentice of Katarn
"A Jedi, me? No, not yet, I'm one of Kyle Katarn's students."

- Jaden Korr to Chewbacca

Having heard that members of the mysterious cult were trying to recruit mercenaries and smugglers on the desert planet Tatooine to transport a special cargo, Skywalker sent Katarn and Korr to investigate in order to find the coordinates of the Cult base. Reaching Mos Eisley aboard Katarn's ship, the Raven's Claw, Korr and his Master discovered the famous YT-1300 light freighter Millennium Falcon, standing empty in one of the city's hangars. Katarn then left to seek out information from his contacts in the Krayt Cantina while Jaden guarded the door of the ship's hangar. Later, having heard gunshots, Korr lit his lightsaber to face the attackers, but instead it was the Wookiee Chewbacca, the co-pilot of the Falcon, who ran through the door, escaping from a group of mercenaries. The famous Wookiee, who was on the planet for a mission in connection with Chief of State Leia Organa Solo, helped Korr to get rid of the members of the Tatooine underworld that assailed them both, and together they eliminated a lot of the thugs. During the confrontation, Korr and Chewbacca parted, and while the Wookiee took care of the mercenaries, the young Jedi handled the deactivation of the tractor beams that prevented the Raven's Claw and the Falcon from taking off. Upon reaching the tractor beam room, howecver, he was confronted by a Dark Jedi, whom he managed to overcome. After deactivating the tractor beam, Korr and Chewbacca rejoined and then eliminated the last mercenaries, who had prepared an ambush around the Falcon. It was at this moment that Katarn came back to the hangar and disclosed the information he had gathered, the mercenaries were expensive, which indicated that the Imperial Remnant was probably financing the Cult. Before the Jedi left, Chewbacca showed his affection for Korr and Master Katarn instructed the Wookiee to inform Organa Solo of his discoveries.

Thereafter, Katarn and Korr were informed by Skywalker that a Tatooinian moisture farmer had overheard a conversation of smugglers about the Cult in a cantina and had ordered his R5 droid to record it. Having taken flight, the farmer had sold his droid to Jawas and left the planet. Arriving at the desert of Tatooine, the apprentice and his Master then attempted to retrieve the droid before the Jawas could erase its memory and sell it. Katarn ordered his apprentice to try to locate the sandcrawler of the Jawas in a canyon while he was collecting information from local farmers. On his way to sandcrawler, however, Korr bore witness to a Tusken Raider attack on the Jawas. Korr was forced to eliminate the Tusken warriors and snipers placed in the canyon before reaching a deserted village, inhabited only by a few droids and marauding Tuskens. After passing through a tunnel network infested with Tuskens, Korr eventually reached the Jawas' sandcrawler, taken under the control by the Sand People. Korr managed to penetrate the hold in search of the droid and succeeded to retrieve the droid. As most of the Jawas had been killed in the attack, there was no one to negotiate the trade, so Korr simply brought the droid to Katarn. Back at the Academy, Korr overheard a conversation between Rosh Penin and another apprentice. Penin believed that the missions on which he was sent were too easy because the Masters wanted to prevent their apprentices from becoming too powerful. As Korr was preparing to speak his opinion, their common master arrived, asking them to prepare for new missions.

Indeed, the authorities of the planet Bakura enlisted the aid of the New Jedi Order, when a power plant on the planet was infiltrated by strangers. A team sent to investigate on the intrusion never made it back. Skywalker assigned Korr to the mission, asking him to wait for the arrival of Katarn to dislodge the unknown forces from the powerplant and ensure that the station built on the crater of a dormant volcano remained intact, because the awakening of the volcano could destroy a crowded city. Arriving on Bakura on his starfighter, the Z-95 Headhunter Far Wanderer, Korr waited for Katarn for a long time on the landing pad. Tired of sitting idle, Korr decided to explore the vicinity of the plant alone. Following a trail of corpses, he infiltrated the facility and checked the security system of the plant. He discovered that the infiltrators, forces of the Imperial Remnant, had placed five bombs throughout the facility. In an effort to prevent the sabotage, the young Jedi fought through the Imperial saboteurs equipped with stealth generators and defusing the bombs. Fleeing the power plant after having removed the Imperial threat, Korr was attacked by their reinforcements that he eliminated here again before heading to his starfighter and leaving Bakura. Korr was contacted by Katarn, who apologized for being unable to come. The Padawan then made his report to Skywalker, who had himself discovered that a member of the cult had infiltrated his quarters during the incursion on Yavin and sliced into his personal records.

Around this time, the Jedi Academy, detected a distress call from a merchant ship, attacked by an Imperial interdictor and crashed on the planet Blenjeel. Korr was then sent to the supposedly uninhabited planet to rescue any survivors. Once on site, Jaden was caught in a storm and several essential pieces of his rescue vessel were damaged by lightning. Having managed to land without too much damage next to the wreck of the merchant ship, the Padawan strove at first in finding the survivors, but only found a single crew member who survived. The man was then devoured before his eyes by the huge worms living in the sands of Blenjeel. With nothing to do on Blenjeel, Korr began to recover parts of the merchant vessel to repair his own ship and return on Yavin IV. The task turned out to be perilous as the sand creatures tried to eat the Jedi on numerous occasions, but Jaden finally managed to find a new power converter, an energy cell, a power coupling and a damper. He left the planet and the Jedi Order signaled the dangerousness of Blenjeel to the authorities of Coruscant.

After reuniting with his master at the Academy, Korr left with Katarn for Corellia aboard the Raven's Claw, on a mission to investigate reports indicating the presence of members of the cult in the capital of Coronet City. As they flew over the city aboard the Raven's Claw, the Jedi received a distress call from the pilot of a maglev train attacked by the cultists and their mercenaries. Katarn dropped off Korr on the train, while himself engaging the ships of the Cult in the skies. Korr began to jump from wagon to wagon, eliminating the mercenaries and even several Dark Jedi who barred his way. As he reached the middle of the train, he had to deactivate a bomb protected by another Dark Jedi. The bomb being disabled, the saboteurs accelerated the train in order to collide with a train station. To prevent the catastrophic damages of this terrorist act, Korr hurried to the front of the train and succeeded to take over the controls of the train, avoiding the death of thousands of Corellians. Later, Master Skywalker summoned all available Jedi to inform them on the course of the investigation on the cult. He said that the person who had sliced into his records had stolen his journal containing names of places where he had found a very strong connection to the Force. The Massassi temple on which the cultists used the scepter had also lost its dark side aura, which was somehow absorbed by the scepter. Worried of what the enemy was planning, he sent the Jedi to various places mentioned in his journal.

Korr went to Hoth, where Master Skywalker had had a vision of Obi-Wan Kenobi shortly before the Battle of Hoth. Upon landing on the planet, Korr could not sense any Force aura there, which had been taken away. Investigating further, he soon found a number of flashing beacons. Following their trail, he found that Imperials were patrolling in the area. Encountering tauntauns, Korr climbed on the back of one of the creatures and cut his path to a cave, where he found himself confronted by a wampa. Having gotten rid of the monster, Korr followed the flashing beacons placed there by the Imperials and reached an outpost abandoned by the Rebels. Before penetrating into the base, the young apprentice had to get rid of the AT-ST, probe droids and Imperial troopers guarding it and then again he had to eliminate the Imperial soldiers who were patrolling in the outpost. Upon arriving at the exit, Korr was assaulted by a squad of snowtroopers that he killed with an abandoned turret and eliminated the stormtroopers stationed in the wreckage of the Battle of Hoth before reaching the Echo Base, whose entrance was blocked. Managing to find the breach taken by the Imperials to get into the structure, he entered the former base of the Rebellion.

Korr infiltrated the Echo Base and passing through the storage room and the infirmary of the base, the Jedi went through corridors infested with troopers, until he got to the old computer room of the Rebels. Unnoticed, the Jedi apprentice overheard a Sith Cultist talking on a comlink to another Dark Jedi named Alora, about Skywalker having traveled to Dagobah after the battle. Korr then defeated the Cultist and proceeded to go after Alora. Korr soon confronted the Twi'lek Alora, who was talking to her Master, the mysterious leader of the cult, on a comlink, revealing its name as the Disciples of Ragnos. The two engaged in a lightsaber duel, and were at first evenly matched. After Korr began to gain the upper hand, Alora escaped through a caved-in section of Echo Base, taunting Korr as she fled. Back on Yavin IV, Korr made his report to Skywalker and Katarn, whom informed Korr that the Force had not only been taken on Hoth, but everywhere Jedi had been sent. The accounts of this mission on Hoth were later documented in Korr and Katarn's datacard report entitled Tauntaun Feathers A1.

The Fall of Rosh Penin
"Jaden, you handled yourself exceptionally well on Vjun. To confront three Dark Jedi and defeat them took both bravery and skill. For your efforts, I feel that you are ready to join our ranks as a Jedi Knight."

- Luke Skywalker to Korr

In the meantime, Penin had still not returned from his mission to the remains of planet Byss, and Katarn went looking for him. Korr, worried for his friend, volunteered to help, but Skywalker instead instructed him to continue with his training, going on various missions across the galaxy. Now a formal Apprentice of the New Jedi Order, Korr also learned a new style of lightsaber combat in addition to his medium style. With both Katarn and Skywalker away from the Academy, Korr was given directions by a Jedi Praxeum protocol droid. The first assignment took Korr to the planet Nar Kreeta. There, a group of elders from the local Mining Guild had tried to negotiate with a local Hutt crimelord. The elders were instead captured by the Hutt, who claimed that they never visited him in the first place. Katarn, who was nearby on his search for Penin, was available to assist Korr on the mission. Flying him to the Hutt's palace on the Raven's Claw, Katarn dropped off Korr at the entrance to a ventilation system and remained there to pick up the prisoners. Covertly making his way into the palace, Korr learned that the Hutt used his prisoners in a deadly gambling event, where he pitted them against a rancor. Korr located and freed the elders, escorting them back to the Claw. However, the elders informed the Jedi about three more holding cells containing more prisoners. Fighting his way through the Hutt's guards while avoiding the rancor that had been unleashed, Korr liberated the remaining prisoners and escaped with them aboard the Raven's Claw.

Korr was next sent to the planet Zonju V, where he was supposed to meet a spaceport worker in possession of important information regarding the cult. The meeting was supposed to take place in an abandoned outpost three kilometers outside the city of Zoronhed. Purchasing a Flare-S swoop to make his way to the outpost, Korr embarked toward the outpost, but was soon attacked by members of a swoop gang working for the Disciples of Ragnos. Evading pursuit, Korr reached the outpost and met with his contact, who offered the Jedi to go inside the outpost to escape from the gangsters. However, before the man could tell Korr anything, he was killed by a sniper. Korr made his way through the facility, where he found another swoop parked at the other side. Using it, he made his way back to safety and left the planet, his mission a failure.

During this time, the New Republic Intelligence Service discovered an Imperial tibanna gas mining facility on the planet Kril'Dor, which was being used to supply the Disciples. A daring raid was planned by General Wedge Antilles, with Korr playing a crucial role as recommended by Skywalker. Korr and Antilles arrived at the facility, with the Jedi landing his Z-95, while Antilles remaining in air aboard his X-wing. Acting on Antilles' instructions, Korr placed targeting beacons at crucial areas of the installation: the deflectore shield generator; the hangar, the garrison, the communications array, the generator powering the turbolasers, and finally the command center. Throughout the mission, Korr had to fight a large number of Imperials, including Imperial Jumptroopers and several Sith Cultists. Hoping to deny the New Republic their victory, the remaining Imperial forces attempted to destroy the tibanna gas platforms, but Korr succesfully disarmed the charges before escaping from the facility, allowing the New Republic to secure the platform and cut the supplies to the Disciples. In the meantime, Skywalker and Katarn continued with their respective missions. Skywalker had learned that the cult had been able to siphon the energy from the dark side cave on Dagobah, and Katarn learned that Penin had been captured by the Disciples during his mission on Byss.

After receiving reports of illegal assassin droids flooding the Invisible Market, the New Republic contacted the New Jedi Order to capture the criminal Lannik Racto, who was believed to be behind the influx of illegal droids. Korr was dispatched to Coruscant to apprehend Racto. Confronting him at a landing pad, Korr was delayed when Racto detonated a bridge leading to his office, forcing the Jedi to go a long way around through Coruscant's scrapes, while fighting mercenaries, assassin droids and Sith Cultists protecting the criminal. When Korr finally reached Racto's office, the man sealed himself behind a blast door and activated four assassin droids to kill the Jedi. Korr dealt with the droids and snuck up on Racto, igniting his lightsaber at his throat, forcing Racto to surrender and reveal the location of a droid factory on Nar Shaddaa, which was promptly shut down by the New Republic.

The New Republic Intelligence also intercepted transmissions coming from the planet Dosuun. Suspecting it to be linked with the Disciples, the New Republic asked the Jedi Order's help, and Korr was sent to investigate. Upon arriving on the planet, Korr discovered an Imperial operation led by Rax Joris, but was ambushed and captured by the enemy. His lightsaber confiscated, Korr was placed in a holding cell. Joris, bored with his duties, would often let his prisoners free to give them a chance to escape, although few made it out. He then challenged Korr to make his way out, and deactivated the ray shields protecting his cell. Korr made his way through the facility, armed with whatever weapons he could procure from enemy troops, and even hijacking an All Terrain Scout Transport until he finally made his way to the hangar where his captured Z-95 was being held. Joris attacked him there with a Stouker concussion rifle, reneging his offer to let the Jedi go. Korr killed the Imperial, retrieved his lightsaber from him and escped from Dosuun.

Master Skywalker then recalled all the Jedi to Yavin 4, informing them that the Cult had already siphoned power from every place mentioned in his journal, as well as some that Skywalker had deliberately left out, like Dagobah. Afraid that the Disciples would pierce together clues that would lead them to other places with Force aura, he assigned the Jedi to investigate them. The Jedi students were instructed to work in pairs because of Penin's capture. Katarn and Korr were assigned to investigate Darth Vader's Bast Castle on Vjun. Katarn and Korr navigated the outside of Vjun through the acid rain, fighting heavy cult opposition, including the New Reborn, the leftover Reborn, dark side users previously used by Desann. After destroying several TIE bombers blocking the way, the two infiltrated the lower levels of the fortress. With their way blocked by a closed door, Korr and Katarn went through a garbage chute, eventually reaching a room filled with water. When Katarn tried to use a switch to open a closed door, a power conduit broke off the ceiling, causing Katarn to hold it aloft with the Force to prevent it from falling in the water and elecrifying it, killing the Jedi. Korr found a way to pump the water out, and the two Jedi went through a hole left in the ceiling by the power conduit. The Jedi reached the castle's power generator and redirected the power to flow back into it, causing it to explode and create a passage further into the castle. However, Korr and Katarn were separated as a result of the explosion.

Alone and ahead of Katarn, Korr fought his way through the fortress, finally confronting none other than Penin in Vader's throne room, accompanied by the Kothos twins, Vil Kothos and Dasariah, the two men Korr had seen on Yavin. Penin had turned to the dark side following his capture, believing that Katarn had been holding him back. He boasted of the power of the dark side to Korr, and&mdash;along with the Kothos twins&mdash;engaged Korr in battle. The battle was hard for Kor, as the twins kept empowering Penin with life energy. However, Korr killed the Twins, hoping that Penin would stand down without their influence. Nevertheless, Penin kept on fighting, causing Korr's anger towards him to build again. After Korr defeated Penin, Katarn reached the room. As Penin lay disarmed on the floor, the leader of the cult, Tavion Axmis, whom Korr had also seen on Yavin, chose that moment to appear. After rebuking Katarn for sparing her during their previous encounter, Axmis ripped Korr's lightsaber from him with the Force, threw it at the heavy ceiling and brought the weakened ceiling down on the Jedi with the Scepter of Ragnos. Thanks to Katarn's quick thinking, Korr was able to use Katarn's lightsaber to cut a hole in the floor for both to escape while Katarn held up the heavy rubble with the Force. Unfortunately, Axmis and Penin fled. Katarn and Korr returned to the Academy and reported what they discovered about Axmis. Korr also came up with the theory that Axmis might have been using the scepter's power to not only absorb Force energy, but to also discharge the energy to empower and corrupt her followers, which Katarn and Skywalker found highly possible. Skywalker, impressed with Korr's actions, promoted the young student to the status of Jedi Knight. Nevertheless, Katarn warned Korr that he felt Korr's anger towards Penin, and despite being a Jedi Knight, he must still beware of giving in to the dark side.

Destruction of the Cult
"A mere Jedi child will not undo my return!"

- Marka Ragnos

Korr built a new green-bladed lightsaber to replace the one he had lost on Vjun and became even stronger within the Force, learning the third and final of the combat styles practiced by the New Jedi Order. Now a Jedi Knight, he was given more dangerous assignemnts by Skywaller and Katarn, in their continuing efforts to stop the Disciples. When the officials of the planet Chandrila contacted the Order for assistance, Korr was dispatched to assist. On Chandrila, the Disciples of Ragnos discovered the tomb of a Dead Jedi Knight and attempted to secure it in prepartion for the arrival of Axmis, who intended to siphon its Force aura. Traversing through the ancient tomb, located among deep chasms and caverns, Korr confronted numerous cultists, although Axmis was not there yet. After reaching the resting place of the Jedi, Korr sealed their coffin, but doing so triggered a cave-in. Korr barely escaped from the tomb as it was buried forever, safe from outsiders. Meanwhile, Katarn continued his investigation on the cult, discovering that Axmis had procured the Scepter of Ragnos from a local collector on Chandrila, whom she then killed.

Korr next ventured to Taanab, where a freighter captain had reported seeing Sith Cultists in the Taanab Spaceport. Upon arriving there, Korr witnessed the cultists releasing a mutant rancor, intenting to unleash it uppon the city and use the chaos to steal credits and supplies. However, the act backfired upon the Disciples, as the rancor attacked everything in sight, including them. Luring the rancor to a conveyor belt, Korr trapped it between a ray-shielded door and a large shipping crate, smashing it and killing it this way. Meanwhile, the Jedi librarian Tionne had discovered the whereabouts of the planet Yalara in a Jedi holocron. The planet was inhabited by a primitive species, the Yalarans, who were not yet ready to be integrated into the galactic community. Because of that, an ancient Jedi, Broden Kel Verdox, had installed a cloaking device, hiding the planet from the rest of the galaxy. However, the Order learned that the Disciples had found Yalara and sent forces to capture the cloaking device. Afraid to let such a powerful machine fall into enemy hands, Skywalker sent Korr to Yalara to destroy it, if needed. On the planet, Korr confronted a large number of Noghri Death Commandos in addition to the Remnant and Disciples forces, who were fighting for control of the cloaking device. Fighting his way to the top of the complex containing the device, Korr saw no way other than destroy it, after doing which her returned to the Praxeum. Skywalker believed that Darth Vader had sent the Noghri to kill the Yalarans and guard the cloaking device. With the device destroyed, the surviving Noghir were relocated to their homeworld of Honoghr.

Since Penin had never completed his mission to Byss, the Jedi Order never learned if Axmis had managed to siphon the power from there. As such, Korr and Katarn were dispatched to the remains of the planet, where they confirmed that Axmis had already been there. As they prepared to leave, however, the Raven's Claw was caught in a tractor beam of an Imperial Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser and brought aboard the ship. Splitting up, Katarn went to trigger the ship's self distruct, while Korr fought his way to the tractor beam controls, disabling the beam holding the Claw. In order to make a clean exit corridor for the Raven's Claw, Korr manned one of the dreadnaught's turbolaser turrets, destroying some of its TIE fighter escort. Korr then returned to the Raven's Claw and met up with Katarn, who had succesfully sabotaged the Imperial ship. The two escaped from the dreadnaught right before it exploded, taking the remaining fighters with it. Korr was then dispatched to Ord Mantell, where a large weapons stockpile had been found unattended. In hopes of preventing the weapons from falling to the enemy, Korr as tasked with destroying the weapons. After he destroyed one of the caches, however, he was confronted by the bounty hunter Boba Fett. Fett offered Korr a chance to leave the planet, but Korr refused and the bounty hunter attacked him. Evading fire from Fett, Korr destroyed all the remaining weapons caches. He then made his way back to his Z-95 and defeated Fett in combat, forcing him to retreat.

Skywalker then recalled Korr to Yavin, having discovered the cult's intentions. Skywalker believed that Axmis was planning to use the power stored in the scepter to resurrect Marka Ragnos. Skywalker then assembled the Jedi for an attack on Korriban, the resting place on Ragnos. However, Katarn pulled Korr aside and informed him that he had received a message from Penin, who claimed to have repented of his actions and wished to rejoin the Jedi Order, but was being held captive on the planet Taspir III. Korr suspected that Penin might have been leading them into a trap, but Katarn was willing to take the risk if it meant saving his other student. Korr and Katarn therefore detoured to Taspir III to rescue Penin from the cult. Once there, Katarn dropped Korr of at a landing pad near the power plant where Penin was supposedly being held, while he took the Raven's Claw to approach from another direction, believing that the two had better chances to complete the mission if they split up.

Navigating through the multiple levels of the plant, Korr eventually confronted Alora, who taunted him, claiming that Penin had fully embraced the dark side, before running away. Pursuing Alora through automated conveoyour belts, Korr finally reached Penin, but at the sight of him seemingly unharmed, his anger rose, believing that his former friend&mdash;who was always trying to beat Korr&mdash;had lured him into a trap. Alora, who stood on a balcony above them and watched, thought Korr's feelings could drive him to the dark side, and tried to amplify his rage to gain a new ally which would have meant certain death for the redeemed Penin. Penin became afraid of Korr's growing anger, but admitted to him that that he had fallen due to his fear. He also reminded Korr that anger was also a path to the dark side. Katarn also contacted Korr mentally, urging him to forgive Penin. This allowed Korr to let go of his anger, realizing he had let it control him, and he did not attack Penin. At this point, Alora attacked, slicing off Penin's left arm, but Korr was able to defeat her in a hard-fought battle. When Katarn caught up with his students, he commended Korr for not giving into the dark side, but Korr gave the credit to Penin for having reminded him of the dangers of giving up to anger.

Leaving Penin in the care of Katarn, Korr flew to the Sith world of Korriban, where he joined up with Skywalker's Jedi strike force to stop the cult once and for all. Assisted by his fellow Jedi, he fought numerous Disciples of Ragnos throughout the Valley of the Dark Lords and finally reached the Tomb of Marka Ragnos, where he confronted Axmis before she could resurrect Ragnos. Axmis, believing that by killing Korr she would convince Katarn of his failure as a Master and bring her old nemesis over to the dark side. The leader of the cult fought with fury and hatred, using the Scepter of Ragnos to boost her advantage. However, Korr's skill outmatched and defeated her, but Axmis refused to surrender. She used the scepter on a statue of Ragnos, resurrecting his spirit, who possesed her. Ragnos pulled out a Sith sword out of the scepter and fought Korr with it. After a duel with the possessed Axmis, Korr defeated her and destroyed the scepter, causing Ragnos to leave Axmis's body, vowing to have his revenge another day. Axmis's body could not withstand the corruption and died shortly thereafter. Korr left the tomb and used his lightsaber to seal it forever. He was joined by Skywalker and Katarn on the steps of the mausoleum, who commended him on his efforts and proclaimed him a true Knight of the Order. New Republic reinforcements arrived at Korriban, destroying the Imperial Star Destroyer in orbit of the planet, and defeating all Remnant forces allied with the cult. With the scepter destroyed, the remaining Disciples of Ragnos lost their power and were soon rounded out. Back at the Jedi Praxeum, Korr visited Penin, who had received a new prosthetic hand and was getting better after his brush with the dark side. Katarn and Skywalker then came in, informing Korr that the threat of the Disciples of Ragnos was gone and asking Korr to be ready for more missions as a valuable member of the Jedi Order.

Knight of the New Jedi Order
"There's still a galaxy full of trouble out there. Are you ready for another mission?''" "''As luck would have it, I am."

- Kyle Katarn and Jaden Korr, as Korr takes his place in the Jedi Order

Korr continued to serve the New Jedi Order and the New Republic in the decades that followed, participating in the war against the extra-galactic Yuuzhan Vong invaders. During the war, in 27 ABY, Korr was on a mission when his homeworld of Coruscant fell to the Yuuzhan Vong. He later learned that his uncle Orn had been killed in the battle. Following the end of the war in 29 ABY, Korr's former Master Kyle Katarn disappered while investigating the region of space called The Cloak of the Sith. Korr teamed up with Katarn's longtime parter, Jan Ors, in her search for Katarn. They spent every spare moment searching for any clues indicating where Katarn could have been. Eventually, a team of Jedi Knights and Alpha Blue agents, assembled by Ors and Luke Skywalker's wife and Katarn's one-time apprentice Mara Jade Skywalker, located Katarn, captive of the fallen cyborg Jedi Knight Daye Azur-Jamin. The team freed Katarn and attempted to redeem Azur-Jamin, who informed them that he had been corrupted by a Force-sensitive female Yuuzhan Vong and that she likely had a master.

The success of Korr brought him the trust of the masters of the Jedi Council, who offered him multiple times a promotion to the rank of Jedi Master. However, filled with doubts, Korr refused all of the offers, because he did not feel himself ready. At some point, Korr also returned to Vjun, where he successfully retrived his first lightsaber, and he kept it mostly as a memory, rarely using it in place of his current one. In 40 ABY, a conflict known as the Second Galactic Civil War broke out, initially fought between the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances&mdash;the New Republic's successor state&mdash;and the Confederation led by the planet Corellia. However, as it became apparent that the Galactic Alliance Joint Chief of State, Jacen Solo, had fallen to the dark side of the force, Grand Master Skywalker rebelled against his nephew's regime, distancing the Jedi Order away from the Alliance. Korr followed Skywalker and became a member of the newly formed Jedi Coalition. When Solo&mdash;secretly the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Caedus&mdash;attempted to capture Centerpoint Station, a superweapon owned by the Corellians, Skywalker decided to foil his nephew's plan. A strike team of Jedi, led by Jedi Master Kyp Durron and Doctor Toval Seyah was assembled with the purpose of infiltrating the station and sabotaging it, preveting it from falling into Solo's hands. Korr was a member of the strike team, and, donning the uniform of the Galactic Alliance Guard, Solo's personal law enfocement group, boarded the troop transport Broadside.

Arriving in the Corellian system in the midst of Battle of Centerpoint Station between the Confederation and the Galactic Alliance, the forces of the Jedi Coalition joined the fray. While Skywalker led another group on a separate mission to rescue the young Chume'da Allana, the Broadside flew straight to the station, under staged fire from the Jedi Rakehell Squadron, as part of the ruse of it being part of Solo's force. When the shuttle landed inside Centerpoint Station, the strike team split into several groups and proceeded to advance to differnt areas of the station, fighting through both the Confederation and the Galactic Alliance forces. Korr was given command of one of the groups and received orders from Durron to advance quickly and leave no enemy forces behind. During the mission, Korr and his team encountered stiff resistance from the Confederation and Corellian sympathizers. After a short battle, the soldiers and several members of the station's crew retreated into a cargo hold, blocking off the Jedi's way. Left without the time to force them out or negotiate a surrender, Korr opened the hold to space, killing the soldiers and engineers alike. Meanwhile, Durron and Seyah sucessfully sabotaged the station, and Korr and the strike teams retreated back to the Broadside, successfully escaping shortly before the station's destruction. Although the mission was a success, Korr would later reflect on his actions with doubt and remorse, feeling guilt for killing so many people, despite having followed the orders of a fellow Jedi.

Quest for certainty
"There be dragons&hellip;"

- Jaden Korr on his doubts in himself, the Jedi and the Force

Six months later, in 41 ABY, the Second Galactic Civil War had drawn to a close. Korr had exiled himself from his friends and fellow Jedi, living in a Coruscant apartment outside the Jedi Temple with only his astromech droid R6 as his companion. One night, however, he received a vision from the Force. In the vision, Korr found himself on the surface of a frozen moon near a blue ringed gas giant in the Unknown Regions, surrounded by the voices of Jedi and Sith, some of them dead, calling his name. One of the voices, belonging to Mara Jade Skywalker, told him to seek answers at the "black hole on Fhost". The vision ended with a explosion in the sky that rained down dark side energy, leaving Korr sickened and someone calling for help. The vision's directions seemsed like nonsense, since Korr knew there were no black holes nowhere near the planet Fhost. He asked R6 to search HoloNet for any star systems like the one he had seen in a vision, but the search came up with nothing. Hoping to find answers that would bring him peace of mind, Korr took the Far Wanderer and R6 and left for Fhost without informing the Jedi Order. Upon his arrival, Korr landed at the Farpoint, the sole city located on the planet, built on the remains of a crashed starship, where he learned of the existence of the Black Hole Cantina. While staying at the cantina, Korr heard rumors that the crew of the salvage vessel Junker had stumbled on a automated distress beacon in the Unknown Regions, in a star system similar to the one in his own vision. Convinced that it would lead him to his quest, Korr waited for Junker's captain, Khedryn Faal, in the cantina on Fhost.

Faal soon arrived at the cantina. Obsessed with finding an answer to his moral confusion, Korr approached him and even used a mind trick on Faal in order to secure passage aboard his ship. He was interrupted by Faal's first mate, the Cerean Marr Idi-Shael, who urged Faal to partake in a sabacc game with the criminal Reegas Vance. Korr agreed to wait until the game was over and ovserved it from his table. Faal lost the crystal containing the coordinates of the moon to Vance, but he still remembered them and was intent to get there first, causing Vance to agree to a double-or-nothing round for the exclusive rights to the coordinates. Sensing that the game was rigged, Korr used the Force to help Faal win the crystal back, causing one of Vance's cronies, Earsh, to accuse Faal of cheating and start a brawl. In the ensuing fight, Korr was forced to kill Earsh and then helped the crew of the Junker escape from the cantina to their parked swoop bikes, and then, back to Junker. The spacers then agreed to bring Korr to the frozen moon of his vision, but since Faal did not tolerate droids, Korr was prevented from bringing R6 aboard. Korr then contacted his droid, whom he had left at the Far Wanderer, telling him to take the Z-95 to orbit and wait for him for two weeks, after which R6 was to contact the Order and inform them of Korr's quest. Korr also discovered that Idi-Shael, a mathematical savant, was in fact Force sensitive. The Jedi and the crew of the Junker arrived at the system, but soon thereafter, they witnessed the arrival of an unknown vessel, and Korr felt a dark side aura emanating from it, which he identified as Sith. Something then attached itself to the Junker and Korr, sensing that an intruder was trying to get aboard, rushed to confront them.

The object that attached itself to the hull of the Junker turned out to be an escape pod, and the crew of the salvage ship soon confronted its sole occupant. The man, missing one arm and looking sick, attacked Korr with an archaic lightsaber, with a powercord attached to a battery pack on his belt. After a brief duel, Korr and the intruder sensed that neither of them was Sith; they were both Jedi. It turned out that the man, named Relin Druur, was a Jedi Knight from a different time period. Five thousand years ago, during the Great Hyperspace War, Druur had tried to sabotage the Sith starship Harbinger, captained by his Padawan-turned-Sith Saes Rrogon. Druur had sabotaged the ship's hyperdrive, before taking the escape pod, causing the dreadnaught to misjump five thousand years through time, taking the pod with it. Druur was determined to finish his job and destroy the Harbinger, which carried aboard a cargo of powerful Lignan crystals that could amplify dark side powers and which Korr recognized as the source of sickness in his vision. Even though Korr felt Druur falling to the dark side in his anger over the death of his Padawan, Drev Hassin, who had perished in the attack on the Harbinger, Druur in turn felt Korr lost in doubt. Both agreed that they had to go their own way. Aboard the Harbinger, Rrogon also realized what had happened, and sent several Blade-class starfighter to destroy the Junker and kill Druur. As Junker had no weapons equipped, Korr used the Force to pilot the ship through the belts of the gas giant, while Druur manned the rear mounted tractor beam to direct the pursuing Blades into massive rocks in the field. Faal then jettisoned the contents of Junkers cargo hold so that it created an explosion when colliding with the rocks, causing the remaining Blades to believe that Junker had been destroyed and report back to the Harbinger.

After convincing the crew of the Junker that the Force had brought them all to the moon, they decided that Idi-Shael would fly Druur in Harbinger's landing bay to destroy the ship while Faal would land Korr on the moon using a small Starhawk shuttle, Flotsam, attached to the ship. After landing on the moon and following the distress beacon, Korr and Marr discovered a secret Imperial research station where a group of scientists had combined Jedi and Sith DNA to create clones as part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's cloning program. By investigating the facility and managing to restore some of the old recordings, they learned that the clones had gone mad. They had somehow found parts to create lightsabers and had killed all the scientists and stormtroopers. Faal voted for leaving the moon at once, but Korr was too obsessed to turn around now and told Faal to leave while he continued alone to the lower levels. Hoping that clones who could use the dark and light side like himself would provide him with answers to his dilemma, Korr advanced through the carnage until he reached a Spaarti cloning cylinder&mdash;"Mother", as the clones called it&mdash;which the clones had filled with the remains of the scientists and stormtroopers. There, he encountered Alpha, a clone of Jedi Master Kam Solusar who informed him the clones would use Korr's ship to leave the moon. The two fought until Alpha took three fingers off Korr's right hand with his lightsaber and tried to drown him in the cloning cylinder, while Korr lost his green-bladed lightsaber in the tank. Faced with fear of death, Korr briefly unleashed Force lightning upon Alpha, but realized just in time that he had let the dark side swell in him. Right when Alpha was about to deliver the killing blow, Korr pulled out his purple-bladed lightsaber and killed the clone by executing Shiak.

Exhausted, Korr left the cloning cylinder just to run into Kell Douro, an Anzat assassin and an agent of the One Sith, who had been hunting Korr since Fhost, believing that he would find revelation by consuming a Jedi's brain material. Too weak to fight back, Korr was assaulted by Douro, but was saved by Faal, who had returned to help his new friend and killed Douro with a blaster shot. With is other lightsaber nowher to be found, Korr picked up Alpha's weapon and left the station with Faal, heading toward Flotsam. On the surface of the ship, they witnessed the assasin's CloakShape fighter Predator landing beside them, the remaining clones and their children, ten beings in total, aboard. Believing that the clones would not kill them, Korr promised to hunt them down should they escape from the moon and turned his back to them. The clones indeed did not kill the Jedi, instead leaving the moon, right as the Harbinger was destroyed. The clones took the CloakShape through the scattered remains of Lignan in the atmosphere, which greatly amplified their powers but also accelerated their disease caused by genetic instability.

Korr and Faal then witnessed the Junker, piloted by Idi-Shael, approaching the surfact. After the three met aboard the ship, Idi-Shael told them that Druur, having fully embraced the dark side, had killed himself to destroy the Harbinger. He also related Druur’s last words to Korr, that there was no certainty, just the search for it and the danger was only when one thought that he had found it. Korr realized that he would not rid himself of doubt but rather embrace it. He accepted that his role as a Jedi personally involved the acceptance of doubt. He suspected that his Master had known this all along and that his ordeal with his new friends was designed to teach him that lesson. Korr, Faal and Idi-Shael then decided to hunt the remaining clones together. Idi-Shael, having also explored some of his Force-sensitivity with Druur aboard the Harbinger, asked Korr to take him on as an apprentice. Believing Idi-Shael to be too old for training, Korr decided that he would need to ask permission from Grand Master Skywalker first.

Tracking the clones
After a long hard pursuit for the clones, Korr pondered on the memories of his uncle, Orn; and, then his mind moved on to the faint memories of his mother whom he had barely known. A minute later, Faal interrupted Korr’s thoughts with an invitation to the ship’s galley for a cup of caf. On the way to the galley, Faal asked what they were to do about the clones. Korr assured Faal that he would privately contact Grand Master Skywalker and get further instructions. Once their conversation was over, Korr made his way to the auxiliary communications room which had a working transceiver. The moment that Korr made contact with the Grand Master, he informed him of his whereabouts and that he was pursuing a group of clones. Master Skywalker, though concerned of Korr’s action in not leaving a flight schedule, told him to destroy the clones if they prove to be beyond the hope of saving. He also brought up the subject of Korr’s promotion to the rank of Jedi Master. Korr told the Grand Master that he, at the time of the refusal of the promotion, felt that he was not ready; however, the Grand Master responded to Korr’s doubt by mentioning Marr. Grand Master Skywalker told Korr that Marr was his answer to his own doubt as a Jedi, and he then gave Korr approval to train Marr in the ways of the Force. As Korr turned off the transceiver, he made his way to the cockpit and informed Marr of their course at hand, the Fhost system.

A few minutes later, Korr and Marr proceeded into the cargo hold of the ship, Junker which had plenty of room for Korr to train his young apprentice. After Korr trained his apprentice, Marr, he made his way into one of the passenger cabins in order to cleanse Alpha's lightsaber crystal of any impurities. In his cabin, Korr took the impure crystal in both hands and used the Force to not only cleanse the crystal, but also to let the Force choose what color matched Korr's position within both the Force and the New Jedi Order. After the crystal was purified into a yellow crystal, Korr used the Force to put the crystal back into the lightsaber hilt; and, he then presented anew before Faal and Marr what Faal had identified to him as a "Sith weapon".

As they reached the planet Fhost, Korr received a distress call from R6 who informed him that a medical facility on Fhost was under attack. Taken briefly aback, Korr had R6 repeat the message so that he could translate it so that Faal and Marr would understand. R6 repeated the message, and Korr knew that he and his apprentice should act on the situation with great haste. On Korr's orders, Faal landed Junker on the roof of the medical facility, while Marr did a schematic of the facility. Once Junker made contact with the roof, Korr and Marr separated in order to block off any means of escape via the roof. As Korr made his way down the west stairwell, he went down the flight of stairs until he heard a disturbance three floors below him on the third floor. Korr informed his apprentice, and then used the Force to jump to the third floor from the sixth floor. Korr then, despite what he told his apprentice, engaged the clones alone. Korr was strong with the Force, but not enough to stop the clones from escaping. A few minutes later, Marr discovered his master lying unconscious and helped him to the roof of the facility only to find out that Faal was missing. As Korr became conscious, he and his apprentice made their way aboard Junker and departed Fhost.

With the tracker aboard the medical supply ship, Korr and Marr were able catch up to the medical ship only to be hailed by an Umbaran who identified himself as Nyss Nenn. Korr, forced to play his hand, offered himself up in trade for Faal. However, once Korr and Faal were at the midpoint of the ships, the Umbaran's sister fired at Faal's pod from her ship. In a spit second, Korr reached his hand out and used the Force to pull Faal's pod out of harm's way. A second shot was fired, but this time Korr grabbed onto the pod's antennae and used the Force to guide his lightsaber as it met with the projectile and redirected it back to the ship's cockpit. Angered about his sister's death, Nyss vowed to kill Korr and his friends. As for Korr, he was close to blacking out due to the loss of oxygen in his hardsuit because of the stress he applied with the Force. However, Korr survived because of Marr's action aboard Junker after the near-fatal confrontation. As Korr, Faal, and Marr made their way to the cockpit, Faal sent Junker into hyperspace in order to increase the time of their pursuit for the clones.

The moment Junker came out of hyperspace, Korr felt a disturbance in the Force; and he denied Faal's guess that the disturbance was caused by the clones. Korr knew it had something to do with what he thought was a Celestials' station, which he only knew little about as an apprentice. Within meters of the station, Korr and Marr used Junkers boat Flotsam in order for them to dock with the station while Faal flew Junker to a safe distance.

Once Flotsam docked with the the station, Korr and Marr continued their pursuit of the clones. Along the way, the station seemed to have sensed the presence of the Jedi, because corpses of various sentient beings were appearing before them ready to kill them. Korr and Marr ignited their lightsabers and took their stand against the impending danger. Unbeknownst to them, Nyss and the Iteration of Korr had followed suit and docked with the station soon after; however, Faal was too late to warn Korr and Marr. With luck, the Umbaran and the Jedi did not meet for a while. After the confrontation, Korr and Marr used separate kilometer long shafts, and then they proceeded on even as the aura of the Dark Side grew. With little warning, Nyss attacked Marr and Korr with a vibroblade. Marr was attacked first, then Korr; however, Korr gained the upper hand and strangled Nyss till the Umbaran was dead. After the scuffle, Korr passed out due to loss of blood. Marr woke to see a clone of Jaden standing over his master's body. The clone stuck a device, immediately identified as Rakatan, and filled it with Korr's memories. Marr, refusing to believe that his master was dead, stood his ground against the clone, but was soon disarmed. Marr used the Force and was able to knock out the clone. Realizing that his master's body had no pulse, Marr transferred Korr's memories into the clone. After about a few minutes, Korr woke up from his unconscious state and pulled himself up off the ground.

He, Marr, Soldier, and Grace entered the large room only to be confronted by Seer who had been consumed by Mother. Korr took the opportunity and charged at Mother, but was met with Force lightning which exfiltrated from her fingers. Briefly knocked aside, Korr noticed that his apprentice was being gripped with the Force by Mother. Korr used the Force to distract Mother's attention from Marr. As Korr charged again, Mother used the Force to lift Korr and pin him on the ceiling of the room. Korr tried to warn his apprentice, but Korr knew he had to use the Force to protect his body from being crushed with the Force. Korr's only hope of survival came when Marr and Soldier distracted Mother which caused her to release her grip on Korr. Korr, once released, somersaulted once he fell and lunged at Mother, putting a gash in her chest. Realizing that they were no match for Mother, Korr, Marr, Grace, and Soldier hurried from the station without haste and later went on their separate ways. Marr and Korr one tunnel, and Soldier and Grace another. As Faal fired up Junker, Korr and Marr made their way on board; and with the destruction of the Rakatan station, they set their course for the planet Fhost. As Korr made his way to the confines of Junker, he presented his report to the Order and then cleaned himself up. However, as he was about to shave, Korr noticed that a facial scar, one he had gotten when he was a young child, had vanished. Korr looked at himself in the mirror, at where his scar once was; and he then wondered why Marr was acting strange since their departure from the station.

Rising tensions and Sith return
Later, Korr was stationed outside the High Council Chambers alongside a male Human and a female Mon Calamari apprentice by order of acting Grand Master Kenth Hamner while the High Council discussed how to proceed with the arrest warrants against Jedi Bazel Warv and Yaqeel Saav'etu. When Jedi Knight Leia Organa Solo and her husband arrived in the foyer to the chambers, Korr initially upheld his mandate to bar entrance to everyone. However, the Solos soon convinced Korr that they had evidence of an attack by Mandalorian mercenaries on the Temple, and he let them pass. Jedi Master Corran Horn and acting Grand Master Kenth Hamner expressed their displeasure with Korr's decision to let the Solos interrupt the Masters, but Kyle Katarn insisted that the arrests should have been carried out in another location. Korr later assisted in moving the Jedi affected by Force psychosis and along with Avinoam Arelis, helped the Solos defend against the Mandalorian Supercommandos in a lower level hangar in the Temple Precinct.

Korr later attended a Jedi meeting via hologram, and reported to Grand Master Hamner and other members of the Order about a rise in Black Sun activity. He also reported on rumors and evidence of a cult that venerated Prince Xizor. Grand Master Hamner asked if it was possible that Xizor might be alive, but Korr told him that he had yet to find any evidence indicating that. Korr suggested that if a member of Black Sun had managed to acquire a tissue sample of Xizor he could have been cloned, and Grand Master Hamner ordered him to follow up on the issue.

Later, in 44 ABY, he was tasked with investigating pirate activity, and Jaina Solo referred to his reports in her briefings to the Jedi Council. To the Council's dismay, many pirate raids had been performed by members of the Lost Tribe of Sith, who were stealing ships for their fleet for an upcoming invasion of the galaxy.

Powers and abilities
"The Force is a tool, Jaden. Sometimes a weapon, sometimes a salve. Dark Side, Light Side, these are distinctions of insignificant difference. Do not fall into the trap of classification. Sentience curses us with a desire to categorize and draw lines, to fear that after this be dragons. But that is illusion. After this is not dragons but more knowledge, deeper understanding. Be at peace with that."

- Kyle Katarn to Korr

Korr was a powerful Force user, mastering his entire core Force abilities, as well as other Force powers. He demonstrated a remarkable level of telekinesis when he used the Force to push down a large pillar in order to make a bridge during the Battle of Korriban, and showed strong abilities in the areas of Force speed. But perhaps the most incredible of his abilities was his capacity for mastering both light and dark-side oriented Force powers. This can be in part attributed to the teachings of his master, Kyle Katarn, who also displayed similar feats through his use of Force lightning and Force choke. Unlike Katarn, Korr was plagued with doubt over his ability to utilize dark side techniques, questioning his identity as a Jedi. Throughout his lifetime, Korr may have learned Force powers ranging from Force protection, Force healing, Mind trick, and Force absorb to Force drain, Force rage, and Force choke. Korr displayed a sort of natural affinity for Force lightning, though he struggled with the implications of its use. He was also able to perform, to a high degree, an uncommon application of the Force called Cleanse.

Korr was highly skilled with a lightsaber, echoing his master's swordsmanship. He utilized the medium style, and perhaps even the fast and strong styles. Although he commonly carried two lightsabers, Korr tended to favor using only one lightsaber in combat. He demonstrated masterful use of the lightsaber when defeating Alora, Axmis, and the Sith Spirit of Marka Ragnos. Korr was adept in fighting multiple lightsaber/Force-wielding enemies, even up to a three-on-one match, as demonstrated by his duel with Rosh Penin. He was also able to hold his own against famed bounty hunter Boba Fett, an experienced Jedi killer. He was also skilled with a wide variety of blasters and other weapons, as evidenced by his encounter with Rax Joris.

Korr was a pilot, and frequently flew the Far Wanderer, his Z-95 Headhunter. When the Raven's Claw wastowed into an Imperial Dreadnaught by a tractor beam, he also was shown to be at least a moderately skilled gunner, as he had to destroy some flying TIE Fighters. During his mission to Zonju V, he proved to be an adept swoop rider and demonstrated his mastery of mounted lightsaber combat techniques.

He was also able to understand Shyriiwook to at least a minimal extent as demonstrated when he met Chewbacca.

Equipment
Jaden Korr commonly carried two lightsabers. The first was purple-bladed and was constructed by Korr prior to his Force training&mdash;which was what brought him to the attention of Luke Skywalker. It featured a short, one-handed hilt, similar to a lightfoil. This lightsaber was assumed destroyed on Vjun by a blast from the Scepter of Ragnos, but was later recovered. Korr's second lightsaber was green-bladed and constructed when he became a Jedi Knight. This was his primary lightsaber, even after recovering the purple-bladed one from Vjun, but was lost in combat on a frozen moon. He replaced the lost lightsaber with an unstable, red-bladed lightsaber taken from a mad clone of Kam Solusar, which he rebuilt into a yellow-bladed lightsaber aboard Junker, giving his original lightsaber to his apprentice, Marr Idi-Shael. Korr also carried a DL-44 heavy blaster pistol.

Occasionally, Korr would arm himself with a number of other projectile, explosive, and energy weapons, including a DXR-6 disruptor rifle, a Wookiee Bowcaster, an Imperial Heavy Repeater, Destructive Electromagnetic Pulse 2 ion carbine, FC-1 flechette launcher, Stouker concussion rifle, PLX-2M portable missile launcher, thermal detonators, laser trip mines and detonation packs. He also employed personal energy shields while out on missions.

Korr utilized a hyperdrive-equipped Z-95 Headhunter named Far Wanderer to get from planet to planet when not flying with Katarn aboard the Raven's Claw or employing other transport, like on Zonju V, where Korr purchased a Flare-S swoop bike.

Behind the scenes
"I was actually slated for a spin-off to Jedi Knight, but I don't want to talk about what happened there."

- Atton Rand

The male Korr is voiced by Philip Tanzini. The female Korr is voiced by Jennifer Hale, the same actress who voiced Bastila Shan in both Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic games and Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Korr was originally going to be called Atton Rand, and that name was later used in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.

In the mission to Tatooine, which involves finding a droid, Korr finds a black droid and says "This is not the droid we're looking for", obviously a reference to A New Hope when Obi-Wan Kenobi uses the Force to trick a patrol of stormtroopers. In the mission to Ord Mantell, Korr encounters Boba Fett; this is the second time Fett appears in the series: Kyle Katarn had fought him in his mission to Coruscant. In the Mission To Hoth, the player can save a tauntaun from a wampa with Force Speed or by using mind trick on it. But due to the difficulty involved, this is likely non-canon.

There is a glitch in Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy when playing on the dark side. If the player has a blaster equipped when fighting Axmis, the cut scene shows Korr bashing Axmis with the blaster but it makes saber sounds.

On Sep 29, 2008, Sue Rostoni announced in her blog a new paperback novel titled Crosscurrent said to involve Jaden Korr was in development by Paul Kemp and is said to "sort of" take place during the Great Hyperspace War. The book was released January 26, 2010.

The novel Riptide hints at the possibility of Jaden himself being a clone planted on Coruscant as a sleeper agent. However, no definite proof is provided.

Character customization
"Two apprentices were always assigned to guard the entrance, but today they were being overseen by a tall, brown-haired Jedi Knight with a slender face and dark, piercing eyes."

- Narrator (Troy Denning)

Originally, Korr's true nature was ambiguous: The in-game avatar for Jedi Academy is customized by the player, and so can be a male or female Human, female Twi'lek, male Rodian, female Zabrak or male Kel Dor. However, Korr is referred to as a "he" in The New Essential Chronology, and is often portrayed in promotional art as a male Human with reddish-brown hair. The author Paul Kemp of the new novel Crosscurrent confirmed on his LiveJournal that Korr will be Human. Jaden Korr's subsequent portrayal in Crosscurrent describes him as bearded, tall, and with piercing gray eyes.

The Galactic Campaign Guide specifies that Korr is one of the most common surnames amongst Kel Dorians, translating into Basic as "male ruler" or "king." However, this information is still inconclusive, since both Vani Korr and Drama Korr had this surname and were both Human. Korr was also portrayed as a Twi'lek female in the Planet Hoppers&mdash;Hoth: Under the Ice, but this representation is non-canonical considering the above.

A single sentence in the novel Fate of the Jedi: Abyss eliminates Kel Dor, Twi'lek, and Rodian from consideration, as Jaden Korr is described as having brown hair, and later in the same chapter is described as male, eliminating the possibility of the brown-haired Zabrak female. The Rodian and Kel Dor males are naturally hairless, and there is only one brown-haired Human male model available in the game.

In light of the information released in the years subsequent to Jedi Academy's release, and the final confirmation of Korr's species, gender, and appearance, it is interesting to note the surprising foresight demonstrated both on the case and on the disc of the game, where Korr is depicted correctly and canonically, years before such decisions would be locked into canon.

Lightsaber customization
In Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy the player can choose the hilt and the blade color of Korr's Lightsaber at the beginning of the game, and can build two new lightsabers or a double-bladed one after the Mission to Vjun, with in-game dialogue stating that Korr's first lightsaber was lost on Vjun. Paul S. Kemp, author of Crosscurrent, stated that he assumed the lightsaber was later recovered from Vjun, and may consider portraying this event in a short story.

Alternative ending


"No Rosh, you were weak."

- Jaden Korr to Rosh

Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy presents two possible endings for Korr: the light side ending, detailed above for the sake of reference, and the dark side ending, as follows:

When Korr meets Rosh Penin at Taspir III, he gives in to his anger and strikes down his former friend in cold blood. After that, Axmis's apprentice Alora offers Korr the possibility of switching masters with Axmis. Korr confidently turns down the offer arguing that changing masters would be foolish, immediately defeating and killing Alora. Soon afterwards, Korr travels to Korriban to take down Axmis and with that become a true Sith Lord. On Korriban, Korr faces both Axmis's forces as well as his old fellow Jedi. He has to simultaneously fight Jedi and Dark Jedi alike, as well as stormtrooper forces, before dueling and defeating Axmis herself in the Tomb of the Sith Lord Marka Ragnos.

At that point, his now former master Kyle Katarn, who is after Korr, arrives to try and bring Korr back to the light side. Nonetheless, Katarn fails in persuading Korr to change his mind. Master and apprentice duel in a final fight, which results in Korr vanquishing Katarn to a hole in the floor with the use of the Scepter of Ragnos after the heated battle. Korr escaped through a hole in the wall made with the Scepter, and escapes with his ship to a Star Destroyer orbiting Korriban. Meanwhile, Katarn pursues Korr to fix his mistake in anguish for losing both of his apprentices. Finally, in the nose of the capital ship and with the Scepter of Ragnos in hand, Korr sets a course for an unknown destination.

The light side ending of the game is canonical, as referenced in subsequent works. However, as a result of the amount of enemies faced on the dark side path, fighting both Reborn and Jedi, it is noteworthy that the dark path is much more difficult to complete.

Family ties
Paul S. Kemp has said that in his mind, Zeerid Korr is an ancestor of Jaden, however no canon source has confirmed that they are indeed related.
