Need help with new character concept

50 BBY. You could go for a Mandalorian, then. Now there's your super-commando.

Mandalorian Shocked

... okay, now THATS something I should look into! Very Happy

Any info I could read on them, like where they were located at this time, what happened before and afterwards, what about their code of honor, etc.? I'm not too familiar with them as player characters, I'm afraid...

They have their "Home Planet", Mandalore, but that certainly doesn't restrict them to that.

Take a look in Wookieepedia. It's murky terrain, to be sure, and about to get murkier with the Clone Wars cartoon. But I wouldn't worry about that too much, it's quite easy to throw a wondering Mandalorian around in that timeframe.

Here's a little snippet:

The Mandalorians (called Mando'ade in Mando'a, meaning "children of Mandalore") were a warlike, nomadic group of clan-based people consisting of members from multiple species. Their culture revolved around that of battle and war being a source of honor and pride in their community.

I never seen the Clone Wars series... or movies... or anything even having remotely to do with it, mostly because I despised the drawing style. Ick! Now I might have to... Rolling Eyes

No you don't... Star Wars is pick'n'choose. If you don't like, ignore it.

I think a Mandalorian would fit you perfectly. Childless women went to battle alongside the men normally, they were all well trained and in great shape. And they were nomadic, so you can drop your character anywhere you want. Officially the Mandalorians were "mostly wiped out" around 40 BBY, so you have no problems in your timeframe.

I always wondered how Twi'leks wore helmets or space suits but it never seems to be an issue in any of the books I've read.

I think that might be a logical reason for the helmets that look like big bowls. the expensive part of the helmet is the shell. the bowl shape would fit a lot of aliens, and would only require the inner support webbing be changed out. the webbing is a lot cheaper than the armor shell...
