Character for a One Shot game

Well, I am going to be playing in a one shot game soon. It might span two or three sessions, but I think just the one. And so far, every concept I have come up with is heavily skewed towards longer-term powers/abilities that probably won't come into play at all in a one shot...even if it spans a couple of sessions.

Here's the blurb and creation guidelines.

The war against the Vong is going poorly. Many good Jedi have been killed, and many more are attempting to heal the wounds of distrust. Luke and Mara have had to move the students from the Praxum on Yavin 4. Wedge Antilles has started an underground resistance within the remains of the Republic. Coruscant is being terraformed by the Vong, and Jacen Solo is feared dead. The Maw Installation has become a hidden base for this resistance and for the young jedi. The loss of Anakin Solo has hit many hard, including his family. Leia holds onto the idea that Jacen can't be dead, and Han has to remain strong for her. Jania is slipping towards the Dark Side. During this time, the Resistance has need to send out a small squad to help locate and destroy a World Ship spawning site. At this tip of the spear, the war can be won or lost. It is up to you to decide on the fate of the galaxy!

Character Creation Details:
Characters start with 250 XP (on top of Starting XP)
Character start with a basic lightsaber or 9,000 credits (on top of starting credits)
Any class from any book is okay.
Any species is okay, even from the USM

So basically, knight level play but with a 100XP bonus. I'm not asking for someone to fully create a character for me, per se, but I would love input on concepts as well as builds (i.e., both fluff and mechanics). If you WANT to go for it and toss out a fully built character, I would not mind. But that's not what I am asking for.

Thanks!

It would be helpful to narrow down what kind of character you're after: face, tank, techie, rogue, etc?

Well... my concepts so far have been a Hutt force-sensitive techie, a Droid tank/blaster type, and a full-on support/healer type (no race decided, have looked at several). I'm really rather open to options at this point. I don't know what anyone else is going to be playing yet. And it is hard for me to make a 'throwaway' character for a one-shot type of scenario. I want to invest too much time in backstory and long-term plans/powers, etc.

Honestly I don't think you're going to get much of a response until you narrow the criteria somewhat.
