Cathar

The Cathar are a species within the expansive Star Wars universe, known for their feline traits and impressive warrior culture. Hailing from the planet Cathar, they are bipedal creatures with distinct feline features, such as retractable claws, sharp teeth, and a coating of fur in a range of colors. Due to the harsh realities and challenging environment of their homeworld, the Cathar developed into fierce and agile warriors with a strongly bonded society based on honor and loyalty.

In the Star Wars lore, the Cathar are particularly notable for their significant role in the Mandalorian Wars, a major conflict depicted in the Knights of The Old Republic comic series. The entire Cathar species was nearly wiped out during this war following a brutal attack by the Mandalorians. This event led to a significant moment of victory for the Jedi Knight Revan, who discovered the truth about The Mandalorian's brutal genocide and effectively turned the tide of the war. The Cathar have also been represented in the MMO game, 'Star Wars: The Old Republic', where players can choose to play Cathar characters.
