==Biography==
Orn was the uncle of the Human child Jaden Korr and took custody of him on the New Republic capital planet, Coruscant, after Korr's adoptive parents were killed in a shuttle accident. As a child, Korr acquired a scar using one of his uncle's tools, which persisted years later. Unbeknownst to Orn, Korr was sensitive to the Force, and, in 14 ABY,The video game Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy takes place ten years after the Battle of Endor, which The Essential Reader's Companion places in 4 ABY. while in a dreamlike state, Korr created a lightsaber of his own in Orn's workshop. Korr showed off the weapon to a surprised Orn, who immediately contacted the authorities, and within two days Korr was enlisted in the Jedi Academy on the moon Yavin 4 under the tutelage of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. Orn was later killed when the Yuuzhan Vong, extra-galactic alien invaders bent on domination,The New Jedi Order: Vector Prime conquered Coruscant in 27 ABY. Korr, having become a Jedi Knight, was on a mission and only heard of Orn's passing at a later time.
