What could a scientist in my Star Wars RPG be researching or working on?

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

Doesn't the EU say that all Bacta comes from a single world?
And what happened to Kolto from the Knights of the Old Republic?

Something along those lines - a new hybrid that can be grown in different environments, and thus also off Thyferra/Manaan?

Or maybe there are new bacta-resistant phages that require altering the Bacta to counter them, otherwise Bacta might lose its value in the next few centuries.

Increase it's potency or make it a vapor.

Or look into it's uses as a torture device. Old legends material had electrical current running through bacta tanks.

In Legends all bacta came from Thyferra a single world.
Bacta made kolto obsolete. Modern kolto may also be less effective than the ancient kolto.

I was asking for ideas on what a scientist could be working on in the Star Wars galaxy. However my list of can nots are more akin to what an engineer would be working on. Then I guess that’s what I really meant. So that being said I ask. What can an engineer in the Star Wars galaxy be working on?. He works for the canon New Republic.

Things he can’t be working on

1.) Dyson sphere- Believe it or not it already exists in SWTOR

2.) Matrioksha Brain- Computers aren’t that advanced. (HOWEVER, if you have a genetic Star Wars name for this- I will take it. Matrioksha is Russian nesting dolls and would obviously not be applicable for Star Wars

3.) A Giant Underground City- Sullust has tons of these.

4.) Kransnikov Tube- Would be too much of a gamechanger for travel

5.) Ford-Svaitar mirror- Too much of a gamechanger for travel

6.) Nicoll-Dyson Laser- We already have the Death Star and Starkiller Base

7.) Space elevator- They have those

8.) Shellworld- Waste of time. Plenty of planets to work with

9) Alderton Disk- Too big

10.) Ringworld- Exists on Ringo Vinda

11.) Underwater cities- Plenty of those

12.) Any type of space habitat.

Any ideas?

it already exists

Pretty much all engineering is done to things that already partially exist.

Pretty much everything has been done though and you keep shooting down ideas.

Some of it like Ringo Vinda is fairly obscure as it's the Old Republic game? Cloaking device s are the classic Star Wars tech, Uber rare can't really be duplicated. Just put a spin on that or something else. Pick something ffs or we'll just assume u r a troll.

I’m not a troll. A troll wouldn’t spend this much time on this.

Well you have shot down every idea people gave given you for over 2 months. Legends material spans 30+ years if Star Wars and almost everything has been done somewhere from mega engineering through to AI uprisings and bio engineering.

Yeah you’re right. I just am very picky and like unique ideas but I’ll stop.

Ice cream. I never saw anyone in Star Wars eat ice cream. He will become a multi-billionaire.

I want to know what the OP finally decided on after seven months. If he's still looking for something, may I suggest galaxy-wide algorithmic decay:
