  -=/\=- U.S.S. Helios -=/\=- biography --
Katar was born in the dawning years of the 29th century, a time when reunification between the peoples of Vulcan and Romulus has been a reality for well over 2 centuries.
Katar was prepared to fight for T'lara in the ancient Vulcan tradition of the Koon-ut-kal-if-fee, but T'lara chose to perform her duty to her family rather than risk Katar's death.
Katar and her relationship was just moving beyond the platonic stage when she was killed in a senseless manner by a seemingly harmless lifeform on an expedition to planet Scorpio 298.

A katar, also known as a Bundi dagger, is a type of short punching sword used in India and the Indian Subcontinent for swift and quick attacks.
Katars ceased to be in common use in the 19th century.

Katars with native blades are often thickened at the point to strenghten them for use against mail and are often forged in one piece with the hilt.
The Indian armorers occasionally made katars that were hollow and served as a sheaths for smaller ones: or with three blades that folded together, appearing to be one, until the handle bars were pressed together, when they opened out.

 Hawkman Katar Hol
Katar and Shayera soon became heroes of note on thier adopted world and became known as Hawkman and Hawkwoman.
During the "Zero Hour" crisis, Katar was made part of a mystical power that transformed him into a living avatar of an extradimensional entity known only as the Hawkgod, integrating his being with past hawk avatars such as Carter and Shiera Hall, the Silent Knight, Nighthawk, and Prince Khufu.
He had equipped himself with a potent arsenal of weapons, including a katar blade (a long dagger), a mace, a steel-spiked Roman cestus glove on his left hand, and a Thanagarian hand blaster.

 Keptin's Cabin -- Random knicknacks of the Bowie's captain
Several factors lead me to believe that katars were used as a secondary off-hand weapon, carried in a combatant's left hand and paired with a sword in the primary hand.
Wear suggests that the katar might have actually been used, though, seeing as the weapons seems to have been made somewhere in India in the late 18th century (Logan Museum 1998), the damage might have simply been caused by time and travel.
This suggests that katars were not originally intended for armoured combat, making them either dueling weapons for single combat or the tools of light, unarmoured infantry, which seems unlikely considering their association with the Kshatriya caste, who were not common foot soldiers and who tended to be heavily armed and armoured.

Katar is one of the very few cities that are on the map without being capitals, and almost all other cities of that kind on the map have very well-visible role in the storyline.
After reading your theory, I'd buy that Katar is where he wants to lead the Seanchan, and that while they are there, he and the undercover Taraboners will strike at Tarabon, cutting off the Seanchan in Katar from their supplies/base, causing a revolt among the Seanchan Taraboners, and pushing the Seanchan from the countryside.
The part of them south of Katar is a part of the mountains with a pass to the east, close to that very great lake, we see on maps in BWB and it is on the west slope of the Mountains, i.e.

 Ethnographic Arms & Armour - katar your opinion
The examples of katar with European blades seem to be primarily those from Mahratta regions and evolved from latter 16th century with cutdown European blades that were becoming predominant then in India with Portuguese presence ("Hindu Arms and Ritual, R.Elgood, p.145).
Elements of this katar suggest that it is probably 19th century, possibly latter and as noted very well may be from Rajasthan regions, while it would be difficult to assign distinct Rajput associations.
You write that the katar maybe goes back to the 15th century, this is not entirely true, as good old Ibn Batutta described how someone he was travelling with, was killed with a katar, and that was around 1332.
