Argh, why would they put the Klatoonians in a book that has nothing particularly to do with them?

Probably the same reason they included the Codri-Ju. Granted, I'm no scholar on the Legacy Era, so I don't know if representatives of either race have shown up in the comics. But if they haven't then it may be a case of getting races in that the fans have been asking for, at least going by the "What 10 races do you want to see?" thread on the WotC boards.

A lot of the races this time around would have made more sense in the "Scum and Villainy" book, but you can only include so many races per volume. Maybe it would have made more sense for them to to do a "Species Guidebook," but then we'd all have to wait till that one came about.

I can't think of any really good reasons they were included, but at least now players who were jonesing for their stats have them.

The Codru-Ji show up in Legacy comics, it shows how the Sith are controlling their planet/species.

What are the goodies for Imperial Knight PCs?

Ok, for an Imperial Knight, you get a good BAB and +2 to Ref, Fort, and Will., you get a talent at 1st and odd levels and a force technique at even levels. All pretty much by the book.

Then there are the talent trees:

KNIGHTS ARMOR TALENT TREE
Armored Augmentation 1: Helps you absorb damage by imbuing your armor with the force.
Armored Augmentation 2: More of the same.
Armor Mastery: Improves your maximum AC while wearing armor.
Cortosis Defense, +2 to opposed unarmed melee attacks.
Cortosis Retaliation: Make an attack immediately after successfully using your cortosis gauntlet.

KNIGHTS RESOLVE TALENT TREE
Knight's Morale: Give a bonus to an ally.
Oath of Duty: You get hitpoints when an ally hits with their lightsaber
Praetoria Ishu: use the Block Talent to protect an ally.
praetoria Vonil: Extra Damage.
Strength of the Empire: When an ally hits with a lightsaber, you do extra damage.

How did they implement the Imperial Knights? Prestige Class or Jedi tradition (like the Jensaarai)?

Remus Lupin · Mar 23, 2009

Prestige Class. It's one of two in the book.

The most notable appearance of a Klatoonian is in Return of the Jedi.

They've sworn they won't publish a species book. I'm not sure I believe them. Sometimes I regret letting go of the Ultimate Alien Anthology... even with its errors, it was a rich vein to dig in.

Well, as it turns out, there was a Klatooninian in the Legacy comics. And a member of Rogue Squadron no less.
