Object
 * 1) One thing: Are the effects of the Karakan Gauntlets really necessary in the BtS?  IFYLOFD  ( You will pay the price for your lack of vision! ) 02:36, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) *As it will still be over the 250 word threshold, no. :P --Eyrezer 02:48, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) Just a question first: were the gauntlets compatible with the other species of the Exile's companions?  Graestan ( Talk ) 16:21, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) *Good catch! Apparently all of Revan and the Exile's companions could use them - bar the droids - so I added that in. --Eyrezer 05:35, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Comments
 * Are we sure the singular and plural are the same for their name? And is there no info to add from the CSWE? Oh, and are we sure they are a species and not a planet-ality, like Corellian or Chandrillan? ~ SavageBob 02:23, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I actually discussed this in the IRC about whether Karakan could be an individual. Probably the answer is that we cannot be absolutely 100% certain, however, most indicators point that way. For instance most gauntlets appear to be named after species: Bothan Precision Gloves, Gammorean Gauntlets, Kubaz Scoundrel Gloves, Nagai Combat Gloves, Nikto Soldier Gloves, etc. There are a couple that appear to be the other way, for instance, Taris Survival Gloves and Eridau Accuracy Gloves. The CSWE says "Named for their inventor, the isolationist Karakan" which seems to eliminate a planet name, and as we discussed there, "isolationist" seems far more appropriate for a species than an individual. Consequently, yes, I am satisfied it is intended to be a species. As for plurals, it appears to be the same, yes. --Eyrezer 11:01, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, sounds good. Perhaps this should be spelled out in the BTS, though, just so all our cards are showing. ~ SavageBob 13:18, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. --Eyrezer 07:00, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, to better reflect the ambiguity, I've reclassified them as an organization. --Eyrezer 07:39, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
