Saricia Targon, Devaronian Female Scoundrel 5
Saricia lived her first 20 years of life on Devaron. Her older sister and mother were quite content to serve in various roles in the government. However, unlike most female devaronians, she longed to travel the stars like her father and most recently her younger brother. Saricia is the middle child of three children of Vilmarh and Jubal Targon. From an early age she has always been facinated with all types of technology. She was always getting in trouble with her mother for taking apart various house electronics to 'see how they work'. Five years ago, members from the new Jedi academy arrived seeking out one who was strong in the force. Sarcia turned out to be the one they sought. While Sarcia had no interest in persuing the force, she saw this as her ticket out. Since that time she has found that the academy is not much better then her home on Devaron. But it is different and there are so many new gadgets to take apart and 'see how they work'. Unfortunately for her instructors Saricia has been a problem. While she is obviously strong in the force she just can't quite learn even the most rudementary of force techniques.
Although Saricia is a capable marksman, she is just as likely to take her gun apart in the middle of a fire fight to see if she can improve it. She usually has several of the same type of technology with her at once. But it is difficult to find any of it that is not in pieces while she tries to tweak them to better operation.

Also, don't roll hit points. Use fixed HP -
d12 - 9
d10 - 7.5 (7 at even levels, 8 at odd levels)
d8 - 6
d6 - 4.5 (4 at even levels, 5 at odd levels)
And really, stat blocks are optional until I pick the final set of characters.

He Who Lurks Beyond The Veil
I made my background a bit more compact to make it easier finding the mainpoints of his personality.
Storm, Male Cathar (The Unfurry Subspecies) Jedi 3/ Soldier 2
Storm was raised and trained by a survivor of the Purge on the most isolated little town on Nal Hutta. As such he was unaware of the reforming of Jedi Order until he left the planet after the death of his master.
Storm is very strict about following the Jedi Code that his master teached him and finds the ways of the New Order to be too lenient. But he does respect the Masters for what they are. Being a Cathar there is a natural passion in Storm which he strains to keep in check, only letting the hints of it to show when he fights.
Being not very strong on the Force itself, Storm is however extremely skilled at Lightsaber combat and his fast reflexes make him quite adept at shooting a gun also. After joining the navy he has taken the time to learn the operation of Starship Weaponry also.

Not so fast, seems like my background is inappropriate for the campaign. I sent a private message to the DM, to see whether we can solve it. So, it may be unnecessary for you to steer away from your original concept.
Just a little background here that I've kind of internalized, but haven't posted anywhere.
When Imperial resistance began to stiffen a few months after the Battle of Endor, Admiral Ackbar, Mon Mothma, and Leia Solo -- with a lot of advice from others -- began to realize that cutting off the head of the Empire was not sufficient to kill it, and began working on how to structure a government and a military that would preserve democracy and the values they cared about against the backdrop of a long war.
They needed a govenrment that would be stable, strong, and democratic. Hence a single executive, with a long (6-year) term, that can only seek two terms, and only a third of the Republic Senate faces voters every two years.
They needed to convince the public that they took the war seriously, hence no weasel words in government organization names. They have a Minister of War, not a Minister of Defense. A President, not a Chief of State.
The need to make sure everyone believed that all sectors of society were doing their part is why neither Leia nor the government have objected to -- and in fact the government has strongly supported -- the military's aggressive recruiting efforts in the elite institutions of the Republic. Including the Jedi order, and the most exclusive universities in the richest worlds in the Republic. Jedi and core worlds nobility make only a tiny fraction of the Republic's officers (how could it be otherwise; the Navy is far too big to rely on them to any large degree), but it's seen as very important that they fight and sometimes die alongside people who grew up as a slaves in the Empire. Joining the Navy is also one of the easiest ways to work your way out of poverty in the Republic (assuming you live through it); a lot of poor kids who made something of themselves have done a term of service in the Navy or Marines.
The need to fund the largest naval construction program in the history of the galaxy -- there was no way they could sustain fighting the Empire with ships built in secret and captured waships -- has meant an absolute mania for driving out economic inefficiency and increasing technological innovation. Not just in war-related fields either; every additional credit in taxes helps, and a fast-growing economy (or at least faster-growing than the Empire) is essential to the Republic.
And in the midst of all that recruiting and building, the Navy also needed to restructure itself from a ragtag collection of rebels into a fully integrated, professional force based on long-service volunteers (since no one in the Republic government would abide by using conscripts, droids, or clones).
In large part, all these tranisitions are pretty much complete within systems than have been part of the Republic for over a decade. In fact, some more radical analysts think the assassination of Leia Solo and Darth Gaida's new offensive are more a sign that the Empire is desperate than that the Republic is. That's a distinct minority view; the Republic is still half the size of the Empire. But the effective strength (i.e. not counting forces tied up in occupation duties) of the Republic Navy is a lot more than half of the Imperial Navy's, and the Republic's economy is a lot more than half the size of the Empire's.

I made a little change to my concept. I decided to multiclass to soldier so it's Jedi 3/Soldier 2. This will make it easier for me to get the Heavy Weapons Proficiency needed for starship gunnery, as well as get me an extra useful feat from Soldier starting feats. Haven't yet decided on that one but I guess it will be Light Armor Proficiency. Either that or Pistol Prof.
Oh, and just to let you know. At least for now, Storm won't have any Force Powers. Not much of a Jedi, but I did say he's not very strong in the Force... I might take the feat at some level in the future but at start not...
