Era of Play

Starting Level
Level 6
Ability Scores
Planned generation system--30 point
Playable Species
Human, Bothan, Cerean, Duros, Gungan, Ithorian, Kel Dor, Rodian, Sullustan, Trandoshan, Twi'lek, Wookiee, Zabrak. (as per RPGA Network Play rules, RCR p. 15). A Droid character is playable with GM approval.
From the Rebellion Era Sourcebook: "The Empire fostered an ongoing campaign to deny alien species their rights and freedoms. Humans were looked upon as the favored species in the Empire--as long as those Humans followed Imperial law and pledged their lives to the Emperor's New Order. Most members of an alien species were denied privileges and reduced to second-class status. Some species, such as Wookies, were enslaved and outlawed as dangerous in most Imperial-controlled regions. While life was somewhat easier away from the Core Worlds, the Outer Rim also provided the secrecy the Empire needed to turn whole planets into labor colonies toiling to maintain the Imperial war machine.
Because of these abuses and atrocities, many alien species joined the Rebel Alliance. From free Wookies such as Chewbacca to the bulk of the Mon Calamari species, individuals and entire civilizations rose up to protest and eventually revolt against the tyrannical Empire. In the Star Wars saga, free Wookies in this period are rare, and Ewoks aren't "discovered" until the time of the Battle of Endor."
Rebellion Era Class Restrictions (as per Rebellion Era Sourcebook, p. 5):
No force users at level 1. All force-wielding classes/feats/skills are subject to GM approval as well as the rules below.
Force Adepts: "a character with strong ties to the Force and raised on an out-of-the-way world under a different Force tradition can start play as a 1st-level Force adept."
Jedi Counselor: "is not available in this time period for player characters..."
