Page "Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II" Paragraph 10

The story is set one year after the events of Return of the Jedi.

The player controls Kyle Katarn, who made his first appearance as a mercenary in Dark Forces.

Katarn meets with an information broker droid named 8t88 who tells Katarn that his father, Morgan Katarn, was killed by a Dark Jedi named Jerec, who also intends to rebuild the Empire.

Kyle retrieves a disk from the droid that can only be read by a droid belonging to Morgan at his home.

The disk's message, coupled with the droid giving Kyle a lightsaber, compel Kyle to undertake a journey to confront his father's murderers and to discover his own latent Force abilities.

While on this journey, Kyle learns that seven Dark Jedi are intent on finding the " Valley of the Jedi ", a focal point for Jedi power and a Jedi burial ground.
