   • The second sentence of the BTS should probably be sourced to the strategy guide rather than the game.
     • Oops. It is fixed now.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 21:39, May 17, 2011 (UTC)
   • One question: The Gaxxa article says that the planet was "believed to be the home of the Gaxxan brain-slug." Does strategy guide make any mention of the planet Gaxxa, specifically a possible connection to the slugs? If so, this should be added to the article; if not, I don't think any change would be necessary.—Axinal ^{Convocation Chamber} 19:09, May 17, 2011 (UTC)
     • I do not own the book, but I will try to find out.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 21:39, May 17, 2011 (UTC)
       • This isn't a huge deal for me, but it would be nice to know. Would you be able to find out from the entry in KOTOR, sine the BTS says that they were the "same entry"?—Axinal ^{Convocation Chamber} 01:13, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
         • I may be wrong, but I think that the statement in the Gaxxa article is derived from the fact that the authors of The Essential Atlas stated their intention to create homeworlds for various unplaced species, based on the implied context of their names. Thus, this would imply that Gaxxa is the homeworld of the Gaxxan brain-slug. However, I'm not sure exactly where the authors said this. I think that a species expert, like Eyrezer or SavageBob, might be able to help you. --Jinzler 10:44, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
           • SavageBob helped me through it. Gaxxa is the homeworld of the Gaxxan brain-slug.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 16:09, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
             • Cool, nice work, Exile.—Axinal ^{Convocation Chamber} 22:35, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

   • The last sentence of the intro (body? :P) should be moved to be the first / merge it with the first.
     • Done--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 15:49, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
   • "The Gaxxan brain-slug was first mentioned in BioWare's video game, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" The comma before KOTOR is incorrect, as it makes it sound like the game was BioWare's only game.
     • Good catch, I fixed it.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 15:49, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
   • How exactly can a source be mentioned only? All sources are technically mentions only. 1358 ^(Talk) 06:54, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
     • Oops, fixed.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 15:49, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
3. Cav:
   • No infobox? Surely there is one appropriate? - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 11:36, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
     • Yeah, I just forgot to add it after it was confirmed that Gaxxa was its homeworld. Added. --Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 15:49, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
4. Savaged…
   • I added that they're non-sentient to the infobox, but you'll need to add the reference that establishes this fact and add this to the article. If there is no indication of their sentience, remove it from the infobox and instead place them in Category:Species of undefined sentience.
     • Well this is the text for the entry for Jurgan Kalta's power suit which contains all the dirrect information about the Gaxxan brain-slug.
       • "Aided by custom armor like this, Jurgan Kalta had no combat equal, so his enemies tried more exotic attacks. It was a gaxxan brain-slug left on a pillow that proved his undoing." from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
     • So I would say that its sentience is indeterminable. (I hope this was how to place a quotation from an entry form a video game. I am sorry if I messed it up.) I also added the category.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 02:49, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
   • Is there no indication who assassinated the guy?
     • I mentioned that it was one of his enemies.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 02:49, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
       • You could probably make a stub for Unidentified assassin (Jurgan Kalta's enemy), but I'll leave that up to you. ~Savage 02:58, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
   • Is there no indication of how they can kill people? Do they poison them? Eat them? Burrow into their brains? ~Savage 02:36, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
     • No it did not provide that information.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 02:49, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
5. Imperators II
   • Could you please rephrase the second sentence a bit? It's the "who was killed, [..] who left" part that bothers me.
     • Better?--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 23:17, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
       • Yup. Imperators II^(Talk) 23:35, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
   • How about giving the galactic region the Gaxxa system it's located in?
     • How about now?--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 23:17, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
       • Cool, though I removed the coordinates, as that seemed to be a bit too specific and not really necessary. I might be wrong, of course. Imperators II^(Talk) 23:35, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
   • Please correct me if I'm wrong. TEAOC lists only the Gaxxa system, and KotOR mentions only the Gaxxan brain-slug. So the planet Gaxxa, or at least its name, is, in fact, speculation. Imperators II^(Talk) 23:01, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
     • Yeah, I was wondering about this, you're probably right, changed.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 23:17, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
