Katarr was an astronomical object where the sentient Reeman species originated. During the attack on the prison ship Restitution by Pan Eyta, former Tempest Runner of the Nihil marauders,[1] in 231 BBY,[2] imprisoned Tempest Runner Lourna Dee identified one of the attackers as a Reeman from Katarr, having previously worked with one.[1] Katarr also shared its name with the Katarr adumbrature, a text that Jedi Padawan Qui-Gon Jinn assisted the Jedi Master and seer Oorallon with studying[3] around 58 BBY.[4]
