House of Marek

The Marek Family was a human family known to contain at least three force-sensitive members beginning with Kento Marek and his wife, an as of yet, unnamed female Jedi. The family produced Galen Marek who became the Secret Apprentice of Darth Vader.

History
The first known member of the family was Kento Marek, a member of the Jedi Order who fathered a son, Galen Marek with an unidentified female Jedi.

After Order 66 was executed, Kento, his wife and son went into exile on Kashyyyk. There they would remain even after Kento's wife was killed by Trandoshan slavers while protecting the local Wookiees. Sometime after the wife's death, Darth Vader arrived on Kashyyyk to continue his work in the Great Jedi Purge and slay Kento.

Galen was taken by the Dark Lord, redesignated as Starkiller and trained to be his Secret Apprentice.
