Dass Katarr was a Jedi Knight and Sentinel following the legacy period and the establishment of the New Jedi Order. Born on the secluded outer rim planet of Alpheridies, he is notable for having a lively - if sometimes offbeat - sense of humor, as well as for his unorthodox theories on both the force and the philosophies of Jedi contemplation. Despite the distinguishing trait of his species, a lack of normal eyesight, Katarr is also regarded as one of the more reliable pilots, mechanics and navigators of the spacelanes, having received training from the notorious Jedi Master Zack Vel early in his studies.
