I think we should start discussing where the game will take place (most of the time, since im sure characters will travel to different planets etc etc) because this may affect people's choice of characters

Getting the ball rolling
Off the top of my head, if a planet location - Coruscant? Corellia? Kuat? All big city planets.

Do we necessarily need a `cannon` location, though? I'm thinking that it would be nice not to have a planet which is entirely city (Coruscant); Kuat is probably also going to be heavy in security. A random planet could work just as well, also avoid the problem of having an obscure reference. Granted, most of the worlds referenced are only in passing (i.e. we know that Kuat is home of Kuat Drive Yards).
Anyway, I think a mid-rim or outer-rim world would be good - probably outer is best.

I'm going to go with Adam on this one. Mostly because my character cannot hole up in a core world with the Imperials watching her every move. So...I vote for outer rim world, please. And I totally say we make one up. That way we can play with government, security, reputations, etc.

Hmmm...so how about a world proposal? Or rather multiple. Let's a few of us think about and design worlds and then we can all sort of vote on the one to be the "home plate" for this game? Does that sound like a plan?
I'll start thinking about it tonight at work.

Righto, just thought I'd chuck out some ideas anyway :) Actually, now that I've thought about it a little more, a random DIY planet could be a lot better...less chance of intereference with what 'actually' happens in canon (not that that really bothers Lucas lol).
The further we get from the Core, though, the less civilised planets generally get. So although our world could be the exception to the rule, generally you don't get high-tech worlds on the Outer Rim.
For our world I'm thinking something along the lines of a Naboo/Alderaan/Chandrilia-style world: ie an Earth type place (areas of civilisation and areas that haven't been developed as opposed to the city-planet of Coruscant or the industrial world of Corellia or on the other side of the scale worlds like Tatooine, Dagohbah, etc).
Getting the ball rolling
Something like Naboo would be best I would say. All the different climates, enough technology to be similar to other places, but not SO big and powerful that is looks like coruscant

And best of all, not the homeworld of the Emperor. :)
Anywhos, now all we need is a city - I'm going to work on some location and organisation stuff, since I have a few thoughts on the criminal sector. Thinking of keeping the Quarren, Dopar Tralsk (somewhere in my notes earlier) as one of the main criminals on our planet. Tralsk is part of a group known as `The Syndicate`- which really is more of a conglomeration of leaders. They're also a rival to the Hutts.
Er, those are all the notes I have at the moment.
