Template:SW Character Jan Ors is a fictional character from the Jedi Knight series of games.

Originally from Alderaan, her mother was a choreographer for Alderaan's premier ballet company and her father an aerospace engineer. Jan was taught both professions by her parents. She soon became an operative for the Rebel Alliance, and was captured during a mission aboard the Star of Empire. There she met Kyle Katarn, who served as an Imperial Trooper. She revealed that the Empire was responsible for the death of his father, and established a relationship with Kyle. He then saved her when she was captured and imprisoned, and agreed to defect.

Jan met with Mon Mothma and persuaded her to hire Kyle as a mercenary and commando. Mothma agreed, and allowed him to become a mercenary for the Rebellion, and Jan served as the pilot of their starship, the Moldy Crow. She became one of the few people Kyle trusted, and always relied on her to save him from dangerous situations. During their adventures, Jan was captured by Jabba the Hutt and held as a bargaining chip against the Alliance, until she was again rescued by Kyle.

In Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, Jan accompanied Kyle again on their quest for the Valley of the Jedi, but was captured by Jerec. He asked Kyle to execute her, following a brief descent into the dark side. When playing for the light side, which is documented to be the canon course of events, Kyle refuses. When Jerec tries to kill him, Kyle retaliates and kills him. The "dark side" ending sees Jan dying, and Kyle being installed as the new Emperor, while taking on the powers of the Valley of the Jedi.

In Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Katarn is a mercenary once again, and Jan, who becomes his love interest, pilots their ship, the Raven's Claw. Jan is captured (once again) by Desann and Tavion, who pretends to kill her in order to call upon Kyle's hatred. After seeing this "mock" execution, Kyle returns to Luke Skywalker, who bestows upon him his lightsaber once his trials are completed. Jan and Kyle are reunited, however, and Desann is killed.

The exact state of their relationship after Jedi Outcast is unknown, but Kyle presumably gave it up for his service to the New Republic and the Jedi. In a dialogue with Jaden Korr on Corellia (Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy), Kyle mentions that he and Jan are still keeping in touch and meeting each other, although it is also possible that he refers to some past event. However, when Katarn disappeared after investigating rumors of the reemergence of the Sith, Jan Ors, along with Jaden Korr and a group of heroes, quickly went out searching for him.

During the Yuuzhan Vong crisis, Jan took over the Alpha Blue intelligence agency from the retiring Admiral Drayson. It was at this time that Alpha Blue began developing the biological weapon Alpha Red to combat the Vong.

Jan's right hand is mechanical, reminiscent of both Anakin and Luke Skywalker.
