Kara was an obese Human female who lived on the planet Kalimahr in the Tython system during the reign of the Infinite Empire; although like all residents of the system, she was unaware of the Rakata and their Empire's existence in the greater galaxy. A former Je'daii, Kara had served the Je'daii Order on Tython long enough to come into the possession of a Force-imbued blade, but abandoned Tython to become a socialite in the city of Rhol Yan. Secretly, she and other wealthy individuals on Kalimahr served as the leadership of the Stargazer Sect, funneling money to keep open hideouts and to pay for acolytes to move about in accordance to their master plan of leaving the isolated system and discovering the galaxy beyond.
