Although this race is a canon one, it isn't a valid one yet on SWC. Unless the developers plan to roll this one out anytime soon, creating a page for it or even declaring yourself a member of this race should be off-limits.--Raith Starlight 00:12, 17 January 2012 (GMT)

I agree. To speak in an IC standpoint: The race "Arkanian" doesn't exist/hasn't been discovered yet. Only thing that bugs me about that view is that the Arkanian Royal Engineers and now the Arkanian Dominion exist although the race doesn't... which really doesn't make sense IC. Still this page should probably be removed or moved to a different namespace, or to a user's space if we want to preserve it for future inclusion. Although recreating it shouldn't be a problem with the little amount of data on it. --Qatar Shendo 11:19, 17 January 2012 (GMT)
I planned on adding more to the Arkanian page soon. I'm currently editing sections at a time on the Arkanian Dominion's page, the Arkania page, and my own page, Sovan Theln. The Dominion is in fact a real NFG that is working on qualifications for faction status (membership and certain pages on website are the last qualifications we are filling). Arkania is a real planet, though currently owned by Mandalore. I am a real player, of course. Those pages also take up some time, but I am contributing every day.
Though the species Arkanian hasn't been added to SWC, it is a canon species that existed as far back as the founding of the Old Republic (though at the time, it was probably not considered Arkanian as the Arkanian species is not exactly native to Arkania. The millions of generations that the species spent on Arkania, however, makes everyone assume it to be the Arkanian homeworld. Thus, they are Arkanian) and still exists in canon to this day. The reason the Administrators provided was that there are too many "near-human" species. I would never consider Arkanian to be any closer to human than Hapans, Corellians, and other species, so I'm hoping that they'll change their mind when they see the amount of support the species has. The fact that it hasn't been implemented in SWC should not be a reason in an argument against the Arkanian Dominion or our roleplaying choices. If anything, it should be used as a reason to support our efforts as SWC isn't canon.
If you would like to hide the page from public view because it is not implemented into SWC, so be it (though I must remind you that the Holocron is supposed to be IC, and SWC itself isn't IC). I would still like to see it utilized and contributed to just as any other page is, even if it is hidden from general public view. I'd love to continue to be able to contribute to Arkanian pages because I'm a firm believer that soon, it will be a race in SWC as well. Thank you for your comments. --Sovan Theln 22:46, 17 January 2012 (GMT)
