KSC is the Kilrathi Saga Calender. And yes we should list them all and in that case source them all so people understand where the conflicts arise from. We don't need to explain them away as much as perhaps provide context. --[[User:Dundradal|Dundradal]] 21:16, 20 August 2010 (CDT) | |||

I started the Tolwyn article as I felt it was time to add him to the database. All of this data comes straight from the CIC Encyclopedia and may require some new edits and such. If anyone wants to help me improve this article, I'd appreciate it. This is just to get it started, I am aware that the Encyclopedia has its errors and I will fix them as I find them. -Aeronautico
Phew! That was a very long article to review. I suggest that someone with copious spare time might like to break up the article into appropriate sections. - Wedge
