THE HIGH AND MIGHTY
Bobby was a test pilot for the famed Corellian Engineering Corporation. He was hired for the rarest, top-secret, and most dangerous engineering/piloting test. He was well compensated for this work. He quickly became overwhelmed with the thrill of the speed, danger, and living in the limelight of semi-fame and credits. Mostly credits. He loved the thrill of living on the edge, drinking and partying all night long. He began to turn up drunk to test runs, and on some occasions, it turned out fine but on other occasions cost CEC millions of credits in lost tech. He became untrustworthy in the eyes of the CEC engineers and shareholders and was pushed from all tests. No one would hire him. Not even to test a taxi.

As the saying goes, the bigger they are, the harder
they fall. Even characters from high social standing,
great wealth, or an existence of comfort can still be
subject to the whims of fate and find themselves cast
out from the life they once knew. This fall from grace
could come in many forms—scandal, poor business
decisions, war, revolution, or revenge from enemies. Regardless of the method, the character is irrevocably wrenched from his world and cast into the murky shadows of EDCE OF THE EMPIRE.
Characters from this type of background include landed gentry, wealthy business owners, doctors, politicians, and any other position or upbringing that brings with it money, power, and status above that of the common rabble. After the events that push them out of that
world, however, these previously entitled characters find
a rough life ahead. The character might find himself
fleeing his former life with only the (admittedly upscale)
clothes on his back and nothing else but his abilities,
skills, and will survive in the unforgiving galaxy.
A character from this background typically finds his
Obligations tied to the cause of his downfall. Perhaps
his fall came from a huge gambling debt, blackmail
from a family enemy, or bringing shame upon his clan
that results in exile. As the wealthy and powerful typically rub elbows with those of their own social level,
enemies or "holders" of the character's Obligation
are also typically wealthy, powerful, and influential in
their own right.
Corellian Engineering Corporation, abbreviated CEC and originally called Corellian Engineering Corps, was one of the three largest starship manufacturers. This corporation was widely considered the most prolific starship manufacturer in the galaxy.

A FAILURE OF CHARACTER
Bobby left his home world in search of an opportunity to feed his addiction to speed and fire-water. Ending up on the fringes as a pilot for hire. Pushing his talent to the extremes and making credits to relax and play after a long day. No one knows him out here and if a ship goes missing or crashes etc. As long as the delivery is made, Bobby will get paid.

Some inherent flaw in the character causes him to
leave behind the life he knew for the unknown. This
background hook ties in well with some Obligations,
such as Addiction, Obsession, or Betrayal. Regardless
of the cause, the character finds himself shut out from
his former society, and left to deal with his own problems.
However, the character may view this in a positive light,
seeing himself freed from the pressures of scrutiny or
keeping on the move to leave trouble behind.

+5 - Addiction - Bobby has a Corellain Whisky (fire-water) and Credit addiction he must keep feeding. Bobby devotes a lot of time, energy, and resources to pursuing or obtaining the objects of his addictions. Avoiding and partaking in this Obligation has an almost immediate result of withdrawal/inebriation. The exact nature depends on the addiction, but Bobby finds it increasingly difficult to concentrate on even mundane tasks, often reflected in the GM adding anywhere from • to ••• to skill checks
Completed! - High Risk - Bobby can’t help it; he has to take the most dangerous jobs and play for the highest stakes. He is a victim of pride, and his ego often gets him in trouble. Bobby has something to prove and, when challenged, he cannot help but take the opportunity to display his bravery, even if this puts himself and his party in harm's way.

There were a number of traits that were commonly seen within the average human of Corellian descent that they tended to hide beneath a veil of self-centeredness and disinterest. Prime among their personality traits was the fact that they tended to be independent-minded yet daring, pragmatic, and reckless in their actions. This was to such an extent that an old saying claimed that they had rocket fuel for blood.
