When Patricia died in an accident involving a faulty preimeter sentinel droid, Morgan and Kyle were left to take care of the family farm. Eventually, Kyle entered the Imperial Academy, whie Morgan - without Kyle's knowledge - became involved in the local Rebel militia in which he served as a low ranking leader. In an Imperial attack on Sulon led by Jerec and Captain Thrawn, Morgan was captures and later beheaded by Jerec himself. When Kyle learned what had happened to his father, he deserted the Empire and joined the Rebel Alliance as a freelance mercenary teaming up with Jan Ors who eventually also became his love interest.

What Kyle did not know was that Morgan was a Force-sensitive, something which Kyle had himself inherited. Kyle's Force skills lay darmant within him, until he returned to the Katarn farm on Sulon and found a lightsaber and a hologram of his father revealing the truth about the Katarn legacy and connection with the Force. Kyle would eventually rise to become a powerfull Jedi Master in Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order.
