Species and professions in Star Wars Galaxies
Players of the game create characters to navigate through these environments. Characters in Star Wars Galaxies can be one of ten species, again taken from the films and the Expanded Universe: Human, Twi'lek, Zabrak, Wookiee, Trandoshan, Rodian, Mon Calamari, Bothan, Sullustan, or Ithorian. A character can be either male or female, and he or she belongs to one of nine iconic professions: Jedi, Bounty hunter, Smuggler, Commando, Spy, Officer, Medic, Entertainer, Trader or Star Wars Credits. It has introduced Beast Master, the NGE version of the pre-NGE Creature Handler, as a separate expertise tree. A character can also optionally advance in the Politician and Pilot professions, independent of his or her primary profession.
