WeeGee

WeeGee was the Katarns' multi-purpose droid. Handbuilt by Morgan Katarn, WeeGee had the shape of an inverted "U". WeeGee was equipped with an extremely powerful heavy-duty arm and a thin mechanically complex arm for more delicate work. He was also equipped with a small repulsorlift engine that allowed him to hover rather than walk. WeeGee communicated via beeps and whitsles like Astromech-units did.

WeeGee was considered part of the Katarn family, and was programmed by Morgan to protect Kyle at all costs. Probably not having been exposed to any memory wipes, the droid had developed a personality of its own.

After Morgan had been captured and killed WeeGee was put out of commission and dumped on the floor in one of the rooms in the Katarn House, which was guarded by enemy forces. Kyle, however, managed to sneak into the house and find him. Kyle activated the droid and had him descrypt and play back the message on a holodisc left by his father, which contained a message revealing the location of the Valley of the Jedi. It was also WeeGee that gave Kyle Qu Rahn's lightsaber on the behalf of Kyle's father.

Together WeeGee and Kyle sneaked out from the Katarn house via a secret underground tunnel. Somewhere in the tunnel they were attacked by a wardroid which WeeGee destroyed using his heavy duty arm. With the assistance of Jan Ors in the Moldy Crow and an old T-4 transport, WeeGee and Kyle manages to escape the enemy forces that guarded the Katarn House.

Behind the scenes
In the game Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight Kyle does not escape the house together with WeeGee, but leaves him behind. However, in the novella Dark Forces: Rebel Agent, Kyle does not have the heart to leave the droid behind and decides to bring him along and leave him in Jan's custody.
