Made this up on the fly after talking to a gamer i met in Pensicola after chatting to Falcon79..
Character history: Since being a kid, you have loved getting into junk of all kind. Whether cause of finding something to play with or from the joy in repairing others junk. After turning adult you went into the salvage operators business, but with the laws regarding it, you realized you could do better just scouting the salvage operation sites out, and get a little for yourself on the side. With the recent rise of the Empire and their war with this ‘rebellion’ your abilities have come in much use due to all the combat going on and you hope to make your joy into your business. All you need is some good co-workers
.
Personality: Loves to just tinker for the sake of it. Gets enjoyment out of finding salvage sites before others get there, but is just as happy to pick through the scraps they might leave..
Attributes:
Dex - 2d+1. Brawl parry, Dodge, Melee parry and running
Know - 3d+1. Bureaucracy, business, languages, law enforcement, planetary systems, streetwise, value
Mech - 3d+1. Astrogation, Communications, Repulsorlift operations, Sensors, Space transport ops, Starship weapons
Per - 3d. Bargain, con, forgery, hide, search
Str - 2d+2. Brawl, climb/jump, lift
Tech - 3d+1. Blaster repair, cap ship repair, computer repair, droid repair, space transport repair, starfighter repair
Equipment:
2 sets mechanics overalls, 1 full set mechanics tools, ID, Space transport that is junked out but has no weaponry, salvagers beacons, 3 sets clothes, 1200 credits standard

Not bad, though I'd at least include a ligt weapon on the space transport (some times competition can get a little "rough" at times specially where military, or very valuable, salvage is concerned. Try reading on the real life "wreckers" of old, and what they did long before there were salvage laws. I'm sure The Old Republic, Empire, and New Republic had/have guidelines, but they'd be hard to enforce in a galaxy as vast as the star wars one, thats a LOT of empty space out there.

True, but were talking about a galaxy where pirates have access to fighters and capital ships: And desperate pirates are just one of the groups who'd kill for the military grade components left over from a space battle. Besides I never did like Firefly or Serenity (if thats what your refering to).

Really? But it was awesome.
However For a more SW example Duros aren't permitted to have weapons on their ships either

I was just thinking that it might be interesting to play a character who didn't have the means by which to fight his way out of every situation.

I may have to hop over and be a fly on the wall for that, sounds worth a read.
What's the name for this template? Salvage Claim Scout, or some such?

Which is the basis i was going for with the template.. Notice he has practically nothing but defensive combat skills other than ship weaponry and brawl (for those bar fights)...
As to the name, i thought it was put in..
Salvage scout.

I like it, can't ever have enough gearhead templates IMO.
Also, from the backstory text, something tells me this is based on someone (or someones) you knew in the military
