Star Wars Saga: How to stat up an Imperial Knight?

[Klaus]

I re-read the entire series and so far Imperial Knights did the following:
- Roal Fel and Antares Draco felt the death of the Imperial Knights led by Fel's cousin at the hands of the Sith. (simple Use The Force)
- Antares Draco and Ganner Krieg tumbled down safely from an exploding starship. (Surge)
- Attempted to heal Princess Marasiah Fel alongside the Jedi. Didn't feel like Vital Transfer, it was more like the Force Adept talent Force Treatment.
- Blocked and deflected blaster bolts from Alliance security forces (Block and Deflect, duh).
- Pushed people around (Force Thrust).

Hope this helps people statting Imperial Knights.

I would make Cortosis gauntlets work like this "when a character with a lightsaber is fighting an opponent equiped with a Cortosis gauntlet rolls a natural 1 to hit the lightsaber deactives for 2d4 minutes" .

My solution wouldn't probably be as close to the way it is portrayed in the book, but only few players could notice that:
Using a Cortosis works like a disarm/sunder attempt, but the lightsaber is not damaged or thrown away, instead it is turned off for 2d4 rounds. The cortosis Cortosis takes normal damage from the lightsaber. The Cortosis gauntlet has Hardness 15 (not ignored by a lightsaber, so it considerably reduces the damage inflicted), and 20 hit points.
This means that characters that get their hands on Cortiosis gauntlets don't rely to much on them (especially Jedi characters), and it explains why not everybody tries to get them.

The Imperial Knights would then have a talent like "Block Lightsaber" that would allow them to use the Cortosis Gauntlet as a reaction if they spent a move action (or swift?) to do so before they were attacked. This will give Imperial Knights a nice benefit for using the Gauntlet.
