Devastation of Katarr

"My people never saw his face when he struck &mdash; but they heard his voice. When my lord spoke, every living thing on Katarr died. The destruction of Katarr echoed through the Force, the screaming of countless lives."

- Visas Marr

The Devastation of Katarr was an event of the Old Sith Wars, occurring in 3,952 BBY, and was the first major event of the First Jedi Purge that took place during that time period. That year, the last known hundred members of the Jedi Order had secretly assembled on the planet Katarr, a colony of the Miraluka species, a race who saw through the Force. However, one of the participants, Master Atris, alerted Darth Nihilus of the fact that the Jedi were secretly meeting on Katarr, in a hope that the combined Jedi would be able to overpower him and ensure the cessation of the mysterious attacks on the Jedi.

However, the Jedi were no match for Nihilus, who used his massive Force powers to feed off of the life on Katarr. Of all its denizens, flora and fauna, and a Miraluka woman named Visas Marr was the only living thing to survive. Nihilus then proceeded to recruit her to the Sith.
