Star Wars Saga: How would you build an Imperial Knight?

[Klaus]

From the Star Wars Legacy comic book series, Imperial Knights are trained like Jedi, but they have a few differences:

- They wear armor, like Palpatine's old Royal Guard. No helmets, though.

- They have an allegiance to the Emperor first (in fact, deposed Emperor Roan Fel is an Imperial Knight himself).

- They all wield standardized silver-bladed lightsabers.

- They have cool names, like their leader Antares Draco.

So, how would you build an Imperial Knight using Saga rules?

I don't read the comics but from what you've listed sounds like a force user with armor abilities. Maybe a level of soldier for the armor feats and then jedi just change the name to Imperial Knights.

Crap! I posted on the wrong forum! Moderators, please move this to the Modern forum?

The Imperial Knights are closer to Maul in terms of combat, being very good in hand-to-hand. Plus, it was revealed in the latest issue (13) that all Knights have a gauntlet that, if used to parry a lightsaber strike, disables the lightsaber for 1 minute or so.
