CHARACTERS By
Jonathan Hicks CAMPAIGN CHARACTERS
The following characters are possible
individuals the PC’s may come across. The stats presented with each character
are based on the original edition rules and will only require a little work
to get them to fit into whatever house rules you have in your group. Each
character has their own agenda and have been
designed for long-term use in an on-going campaign. None of the characters
has been designed with a specific location or campaign style in mind. Feel
free to change the modus operandi
of the character to suit your own game. MALC SENURE - Human mercenary who has a knack of finding prime
equipment. His network of contacts is varied but dangerous; the network
includes two Hutt’s. He has his ear to the underground and also acts as an
infobroker when the mood takes him. He dresses in very well kept grey combat
fatigues and also puts on a blast vest (+1 energy, +2 blunt, no DEX penalty)
when the needs be. He has a long, boyish face and light brown hair that
always seems to be falling into his eyes. MOTIVATION: Credits, mostly, but he will work for less if it means increasing
his network. OBJECTIVES: To make enough credits to retire early. PERSONALITY: He is cautiously friendly, and will not stick his head out for
anyone unless it benefits him. DEX: 2d+2 (Blaster

Action (As stock Ghtroc freighter but with 2D shields). 7,300 c’s. HEMET AHERN - Sullustian trader who has a tendency to fall
the foul side of the law through no fault of his own. He is pristine in his
appearance and lifestyle, and tries to get the best paid jobs. MOTIVATION: He only believes in business. OBJECTIVES: To purchase his own fleet of transports and become well known. PERSONALITY: Short tempered. Hemet abhors ill manners and shoddy presentation. He
is a whiner when things don’t go right for him. DEX: 2d KNO: 4d (Alien

expensive clothes. Uses other transport
companies to move goods. 8,000 c’s. HEENA - This blue Twi’lek female is a rarity in the
known galaxy- she’s free. As most Twi’lek girls are doomed to slavery, she
managed to get free of her master by murdering him. Unfortunately, murdering
a Hutt, Jiga, brings great repercussions, and she has been running ever since
from the two Hutt’s left in the clan, Renko and Halgutta. She tries to hide
her headtails under a large hood. MOTIVATION: She wants to simply ‘disappear’ from public view. OBJECTIVES: To free herself of the pursuing Hutts and live a life of peace and
quiet. PERSONALITY: She is brash and forthright, distrusting and generally rude. DEX: 3d+2 (Blaster

security. Middle-aged, with thinning hair and a small moustache. Idealistic
when young, but now rather jaded. Wants the best for his organisation but is
sick of outsiders (i.e. Imperials) from interfering. Very friendly and
helpful but will take some convincing that his employer is even a little
corrupt. MOTIVATION: To do the right thing. OBJECTIVES: To rise in the ranks and stabilise the organisation from within. PERSONALITY: He appears cynical, but under that exterior there is a very hopeful
man. DEX: 3d+1 (Blaster

Chancai Buildings. 100 c’s. HAR’VA’DELL - Almost simian-like bounty hunter from Form.

Alive - usually Dead. Holds the code dear to his hearts, and will never harm
anyone but the target. MOTIVATION: Reputation. OBJECTIVES: To get the contract he has always wanted; one where he can impress
the ganglords. PERSONALITY: Hard edged but capable of changing his personality entirely to suit
the situation or individual he is dealing with DEX: 3d+2 (Blaster

two partners, his brother and his wife, were killed during an operation in
the Core Worlds. Convinced that he was betrayed by a mole in the Rebellion
and unwilling to give up his position, he has gone out alone against the
Empire and the underworld. Efficient and dangerous, he accepts no help and
offers none. MOTIVATION: Revenge. OBJECTIVES: To locate and destroy what he can of the Empire. PERSONALITY: Brash, to the point, and very, very sarcastic. DEX: 4d (Blaster

expertise, then utilise the list below. Although the stats are incredibly
simple, you’ll find they’ll be suitable for an NPC that you need just to fill

designed for long-term use, and if the GM wishes to make them something more
