This page desperately needs some headers and such. --Sir Brizz 00:24, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

Fixed and added various stuff about the Unreal 1 part. --UBerserker

This page has POTENTIAL. But right now it's a mess, we could try to separate this article into smaller ones, add pictures (will do that in some time), add Skaarj from UT2004 and do an overall reedit to make it more appealing.--QJohnnyp 07:29, 16 August 2007 (EDT)

I agree; right now it's a bit hard to read. I personally suggest moving all the Unreal gameplay-specific stuff to a new article, since that is mostly stats and descriptions of very specific Skaarj classes. Maybe call it "Skaarj (Unreal enemy)"? For instance the facts that some Skaarj classes use the Bio Rifle, some have 70 health, and some walk around in Nali Castle doesn't have anything to do with Skaarj in general. If I click "Skaarj" somewhere I am much more likely to be interested in Skaarj overall. Of course there should be a DAB link at the top, as well as links pointing there in the section mentioning Skaarj presence on Na Pali (in Unreal/RTNP). Compare to a detailed description of Torgr's background, which belongs in his article and not in here. Once that is moved, the article will have shrunk considerably and will be much more readable.
It may not be consistent, but I dont think Unreal 2's Skaarj section needs to be moved, since it's already just a pretty general description about only three different kinds. Also it is much shorter. :)
The main article should of course still mention not all Skaarj all equally powerful, carry different weapons, etc., and special Skaarj such as the Queen should of course remain in the main article, but be described more story-wise and less gameplay-wise. Well, that's my view. Retodon8 05:51, 20 August 2007 (EDT)
My opinion: Skaarj history, technology, appearance and social structure overall should stay here and link to millions of smaller pages like Ice Skaarj or Skaarj Lord, with the queen described here and the page Skaarj Queen containing her stats, strategies to fight her, gameplay stuff.
Unreal 2 stuff... :/ Well, it should be merged with the rest of the article, can't be separate. And descriptions of each class from light to heavy should have separate articles too.
...Do I have permission to spend the next week creating a draft version of the changes I imagine? ;) If you want it to be done right- do it yourself.--QJohnnyp 06:47, 20 August 2007 (EDT)

Missing Tournament team info

I just started a new section about Skaarj presence in the Tournament. I don't remember the name of the Skaarj team that entered in UT2003, and it doesn't seem like their article exists yet. Actually maybe UT2003 didn't have any, but UT2004 did, or UT2004 added a second team of Skaarj? If someone knows, please add and/or correct! :) Retodon8 05:51, 20 August 2007 (EDT)

Different designs

Should we create a theory on why are designs of Skaarj between games so different? Or take it that it was just retcon/redesign?--QJohnnyp 06:47, 20 August 2007 (EDT)
