Many of the worlds and cultures across the galaxy have a high level of technological sophistication. Droids and the FloloNet are tools that many sentients use on a daily basis. Starships and repulsorlift craft are a com­ mon sight on many worlds, and characters are likely comfortable using these fantastic devices. Most adult individuals from these sorts of worlds enjoyed an edu­ cation that included a solid grounding in engineering and the hard sciences. This level of technological fa­miliarity is considered the norm for the civilized galaxy.
Most of the planets from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim fall into this category. Even frontier and co­lonial worlds tend to have denizens familiar with stan­dard galactic technologies, even if said technologies are rare or unavailable. These planets are typically a part of wider galactic society. Citizens of these worlds who wish to avoid technology must make a deliberate effort to do so.


Some adepts are so deeply grounded in the Force that it influences their every action. These characters constantly perceive the world through its lens, and it decides their every thought. Often, their education has included a thorough grounding in Force philoso­phies, so that they choose to act with deliberate devo­tion to the light (or dark) side of the Force.
Such knowledge is deliberately suppressed in the Empire and thus incredibly hard to come by. Flow­ ever, it is not impossible. A character with this back­ ground may have been raised by one of the last Jedi to escape the purges, who, before dying, passed on a measure of knowledge of the Force to the character. Alternatively, the character may have known someone
who would have reason to be familiar with the Jedi and their knowledge. A former Republic soldier or sympa­ thetic Senator, an old friend of the Jedi, or even an ally who worked with the Jedi but was not Force-sensitive may have escaped the Emperor’s purges and passed on what he has learned. It may be that the character is one of those individuals, and as he has aged, he has realized that he too can tap into the power of the Force.




Some individuals cannot stand idly by while watching the evils the Empire inflicts on the galaxy. The charac­ter knows he’s been given a gift that few others have. To squander it while innocents suffer would be the height of irresponsibility.

Moral Strength: Caution: The character possesses commendable prudence, willing to always look before he leaps into a new situation. His forward-thinking ways may have saved his fellows from dangerous situations on numerous occasions.
Moral Weakness: Coldness: Self-reliance can slip into isolation if one is not careful. A cold character doesn't just desire to rely only on himself, but has nothing but disinterest for anyone else. If they can’t help themselves, why should he aid them?
