Okay, so here is what I have so far for out up-coming star wars d20 game, if you would be kind as to give me an idea of what kind of character you want to run, just a basic idea nothing in stone. It would be a big help.

The Galaxy Thus Far ----
The year 20,000 BBY marked the end of the Expansionist Era and the beginning of the Great Manifest Period, an era of expansion and exploration beyond the Core Worlds and the then–known galactic community which was nestled along the Corellian Run and the Perlemian Trade Route. The exploration was primarily contained to the "Wild Space" area, which later became known as the Expansion Region of the Slice. About this time, the planet Metellos was facing the domestic problems of overpopulation and a lack of trade. To remedy these, the planetary government commissioned the blazing of a new hyperspace trail to connect both eastward to Coruscant and to points westward. Upon its completion, the Metellos Trade Route connected Coruscant to Orooturoo.
The Dark Jedi are growing in numbers daily, and are slowly and subtly making moves against the Jedi Order.
The Hutt's are staying there ground, raking in profits from trade tax in there space with the expansionist nature of everything, and tolling passing freighters and cruisers entering their area of operations.
"The Republic's boom collapsed due to internal scuffling, as the planet Alsakan attempted to usurp Coruscant as the rightful galactic capital."
―From the text of The New Essential Chronology by Voren
The Galactic Republic saw massive settlement in the Expansion Region and broader areas of the Slice as the Great Manifest Period continued. The growth was fostered by government-backed, corporation-sponsored settlement. Coruscant and Corellia were among the most active and prosperous planets at this time, striking the ire of rival world Alsakan. This later became the impetus that led to the Alsakan Conflicts. At the same time, the corporate-sponsored settlement caused planetary resources to be exploited and settlers left in poor conditions; many worlds eventually revolted.
The goals established on Metellos to remedy its problems with trade and overcrowding were only marginally realized with the creation of the Metellos Trade Route. While the connection to Coruscant did increase some trade traffic, the largest gain was with planets westward, such as Orooturoo. At the same time, the opening of Metellos to the broader galaxy did relieve some of the overcrowding that had developed in the prior years.
With the implamation of the Trade route, also came the abundant smuggling operations and on the planet surface, a pleathera of small time organized crime operations. Metellos was becoming a back water planet with an abundance of opportunity for those.
To counter the many other unwanted operations in the new sectors the Jedi Counsul sent forth several knights to patrol the regions and help keep the constant flow of crime from tearing the system apart in a slum-style gang war-fare gona wide scale. One of the most prominonte Jedi Knights to do this was the Jedi Knight Roni von Wasaki.
Jedi Knight Roni von Wasaki became known as a peace-keeper in the frontier sectors who rooted out criminal activity in those areas. Various crime lords have since issued a immense bounty for his capture.
Where you stand ----
For whatever reasons, motive, or goals that drive you. One thing among you is common for sure, Metellos. You have chosen to make for the planet on your own accord for motives unknown to most. Weather you be a force sensitive initiate seeking private training, or a smuggler looking to make it big, or maybe just a petty bounty hunter looking for the next job, you have heard through the great grape-vine that is the galaxy that Metellos is the perfect place for you to kick start your claim to riches, fame, power, or whatever it is you desire.

Setting Info
The Immediate Setting ---
Planet Metellos -
Metellos had an extremely high population of roughly 900 billion, and was a large producer of energy. It had a diameter of 12,600 km and three moons. Metellos contained seventeen immense stratablocks, which rose far above the surrounding land. Large tracts of shabby, toxic, extremely poor regions, as well as heavy industrial areas, lay between these stratablocks. To compensate for the overcrowding, over 1,000 floating cities were created for the rich. These cities were designed to resemble the magnificent floating cities of Ithor, though the design was considered by many to be blocky and ugly.

I am going to be putting allot of work into this to make it as enjoyable as possible for you guys, so please bare ith me if I botch some things up, just help me along, and I will be sure to adjust accordingly. I want to note now, that this won't follow the exact cannon time line, it will only show some inspiration of the cannon timeline. Because I am not that good.. Sorry..
Secondly, ROLL DAY!
Roll Day, the day we roll your characters will be next game-day. Pretty much a sit down where we all gather around, get a good feel for the rules, and for what we want from our (your) characters.
