Katarn Commandos

"Civilians think of this war as a single sweeping affair. Generals think of the war in campaigns. For us, the war is defined in operations and missions, usually too long and too costly."

- Lieutenant Judder Page

The Katarn Commandos were a New Republic Special Forces unit.

The unit's origins traced back to a group of guerilla fighters attached to Kyle Katarn in the early years of his post-mercenary involvement with the Rebel Alliance. After Katarn retired from active military duty to pursue his Jedi studies, Judder Page was promoted to the group's commander, and they came to be known as Page's Commandos.

Officially, the unit was attached to the office of the Commander-in-Chief, but in reality it often operated independently for weeks or months at a time. They could operate either as a single unit or broken up into smaller units, and worked in any environment.

Each member of the team was a jack-of-all-trades, but also a specialist in a particular field. Besides Page, the team also consisted of Lilla Dade, the pathfinder\scout; Gottu and Idow, the urban combat specialists; Frorral the Wookiee, the wilderness fighter; Mian Hoob the Sullustan and Korren of Alderaan, the team technicians; Kasck the Bothan, the infiltrator and shadow; Vandro, the heavy weapons and repulsorlift specialist; Syla Tors, the ex-Corellian pirate and pilot; and Jortan and Bri'vin, the medical technicians.
