When making up characters (NPCS that is not PCs) what are some of your favorite specializations to give those npcs>>

Some of mine.
DEXTERITY.
Blaster - rifle for army and storm troopers, pistol for officers and customs agents.
Grenade - stun for bounty hunters

KNOWLEDGE
Tactics - squad or guerrilla tactics for stormies especially storm commandos.

MECHANICAL
Piloting/gunnery specific to type of vehicle/ship the NPC is using.

PERCEPTION
Forgery - specific type of ID to look for for being a forgery
CON - lie detection
Command - type/group of troops
Search - tracking/trailing

TECH
First aid - type of troops

I would think Species as a specialization of First Aid would be more appropriate...

In the past, I have considered giving out free bonus pips in focused specializations, such as the specific ship the characters fly or repair, or a specific model of blaster. Maybe in the realm of +1 per adventure / campaign to keep it from rolling up too quick (and maybe a cap of +1D or +2D to keep it from getting out of hand), but enough to represent a character's familiarity with a piece of equipment with which they have become intimately familiar.

Aren't that skill's specializations usually by species?

True, but not all baddies i have are human. Some pirate groups are alien, so their "Troops will also be aliens, just different mixes"..
