The following is a list of generic home locations for player characters. Each of these describes a location that each player character hails from, though these are just a starting point and each player should expand their own lineage to deepen the character. Where a character grows up has a lasting impact on his or her life, and as such, each character gains 1 rank in a skill of their choice as well as 1 rank in a talent of their choice from each specific home location. Each of these locations serves the greater narrative in describing an expansive galaxy. These don't break the game but increase the value of where you come from (like a moisture farm on Tatooine) and really hits home how important those formative years were on your character.
Choose one Skill and one Talent from your respective home location. Only one home location may be selected per character.
