The Fear of Katarn continued to exist in the deepest crevasses within the minds of all sentient beings from the moment sentience first emerged into the galaxy. When the Force was discovered by the Jedi and Sith alike, these monastic orders soon came upon this fundamental law of nature (the approximate moment is said to be about 0.003415 standard seconds after initial Force-awareness). Some of the first Sith Mega-Super-Overlords attempted to invoke the Fear of Katarn into a Force power that they could use to obliterate their enemies; however, all who attempted thus were immediately roundhouse-kicked into hyperspace by Katarn himself.
