- Reputation: Rodians are notorious for their tenacity and their eagerness to kill intelligent beings for the sake of a few credits. Certain factions of galactic civilization (most notably criminal and organizations, authoritarian/dictatorial planetary governments and the Empire) find them in the indispensable employees, despite the fact that they are almost universally distrusted by other beings. Whenever an unfamiliar Rodian is encountered, most other beings assume that is involved in a hunt, and give it a wide berth.

Wookiee
- +2 Strength
- -1 Intelligence
- -1 Composure
- Special Abilities
- Berserker Rage: A Wookiee who becomes enraged (the character must believe himself or those to whom he has pledged a life debt to be in immediate, deadly danger) receives a +2L bonus to brawling damage. The character suffers a -1 external penalty to all non-Strength attribute and skill checks. The Wookiee must make a Moderate Wits+Composure roll (2 successes) to calm down from berserker rage while enemies are still present. After all enemies have been eliminated, the character must only make an Easy Wits+Composure total (1 success) to calm down. Wookiee player characters must be careful when using Force Points while in berserker rage. Since the rage is clearly based on anger and aggression, using Force Points will almost always lead to the character getting a Dark Side Point. The use of the Force Point must be wholly justified not to incur a Dark Side Point.
- Climbing Claws: Wookiees have retractable climbing claws which are used for climbing only. They add +2 dice to their climbing roll while using the claws. Any Wookiee who uses claws in hand-to-hand combat is automatically considered dishonorable by other members of his species, possibly to be hunted down — regardless of circumstances.
- Story Factors
- Reputation: Wookiees are widely regarded as fierce savages with short tempers. Most people will go out of their way not to enrage a Wookiee.
- Enslaved: Prior to the defeat of the Empire, almost all Wookiees were enslaved by the Empire, and there was a substantial bounty for the capture of "free" Wookiees.
- Language: Wookiees cannot speak Basic, but they all understand it. Nearly always, they have a close friend who they travel with who can interpret for them ... though a Wookiee's intent is seldom misunderstood.
- Honor: Wookiees are honor-bound. They are fierce warriors with a great deal of pride and they can be rage-driven, cruel, and unfair — but they have a code of honor. They do not betray their species — individually or as a whole. They do not betray their friends or desert them. They may break the "law," but never their code. The Wookiee code of honor is as stringent as it is ancient. Atonement for a crime against their honor is nearly impossible — it is usually only achieved posthumously. But Wookiees falsely accused can be feed of their dishonor, and there are legends of dishonored Wookiees "coming back." But those are legends ...
