New Races That Would be Neat.

By Tripedge, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Since the EU for Star Wars is so massive theres tons of stuff that they could add to the game, notably Id love to see more characters or units from the following races.

aqualish
Barabel
A Besalisk jedi/sith
bothans
Twileks
Dathomir

Chiss
Zabraks (Savage Opress)
Dugs
Falleen (Xizor)
Geonosian
Massassi
Togruta
Ubese

And my personal favorite that I think would be awesome to see the Noghri.

What are peoples thoughts on stuff theyd like to see in the game?

Theres the obvious units like scout troopers and such as well.

Well, we already have an Aqualish, a Twilek, a Bothan, and we're getting a Togruta, but I assume you're thinking more in terms of non-uniques?

I think Zabraks and Geonosisns would be cool new merc soldiers. Maybe some sullustans or Grans, too. And I'd totally be down for some Noghri.

I think Chiss would be a pretty bold move, outside of Thrawn- not sure they'd want to do anything with them yet, especially since Thrawn's reemergence into canon has also brought the opportunity for exploration into the Ascendancy back to canon.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'd like a Besalisk like Gadren in the twilight company novel. Maybe a 2x1

Gran and Quarren are the two at the top of my list. I like Rodians but we've got more than enough of them already - let's give the other classic Star Wars "thug" species some love!

We're getting a Zabrak merc in HotE.

Yeah I was thinking some non-uniques but yeah even some more uniques of stuff would be nice, I agree with the chiss though.

We're still sullustans, one of the more common races in the Star Wars world. Definitely an opening for a playable hero if we don't see Nien Numb.

Not sure the Geonosians still exist in the current IA time period?

Yeah I wasnt 100% sure on the Geonosians being extinct or not but those pulse guns would be sweet in game

A sullustan hero would be great.

As far as Geonosians go- they're unicorns. Seems like we keep seeing Vader or someone else take down the "last geonosian" only for another to pop up later.

I'd say that they're about as eradicated as the Jedi at this point. They are mostly wiped out, but there seems to be a suspicious amount of them in a galaxy that supposedly made them go extinct.

Hahah yeah that is true.. Basically the unicorn of the galaxy. They always pop up again

Yeah I was gunna say. Genossians are all but extinct. Not going to see any out there doing anything besides trying to revive their species.

I would really like to see a Bith or a Sullustan.

Others that would I'd like to see:

Ewoks
Kaminoan
Nautolan
Kel Dor
Troig :P

I swear if they do Ewoks and not include the goofy gliders Ill be irritated.

I think a Kaminoan would be neat but I feel like they're more of a peaceful race.

I still think a Kaminoan hero would be neat.

Maybe he can have an ability called something like "Order 87" in which he chooses a Stormtrooper and rolls a white die. On a "dodge" the stormtrooper gets an "Original Kaminoan" token, and stormtroopers with that token get one extra action during their activation, which is controlled by the Kaminoan.

I could also see a Kaminoan healer hero or support unit with a healing radius or something, every allied character within 3 spaces heals 1 at the end of the round or something involving training since they trained the clones.

The Nightsisters (dathomir) is a race i would glad to see.

But they are humans so it not fitt the categhory perfectly.

Imagine a Rancor mount. Or some huntress. A Matriarch.

Yes we already have a Rancor but we have AT-ST and Weiss as well.

We only saw the Nightsisters in Clone wars and if i know well the singing mountain clan and the otther non darkside clans are non canon atm.

Yeah having Asajj Ventress would be cool... Hell having Aurra Sing as a sniper-esque hunter merc would be sweet

Grans would be cool - their most iconic appearance to me was punching/thermal detonator throwing thugs in Jedi Knight.

Kubaz - could be some kind of spy+smuggler for Empire.

Gank - cool cyborgs means more hunters for scum! Could be a unique FFG OC like Graz the Hunter.

Sullustans - Nien Nunb would be cool (throw down turret companions like in Battlefront?), or else an FFG OC rebel hero or rebel smuggler of some type. I think a whole expansion box set on Sullust would be cool for lava tiles.

Devaronians - some cool scum thug or a rebel hero.

Quarren - some kind of scum thug or rebel arms dealer or something.

The Night Sisters aren't human. They're Dathomiri . Also Ventress is dead by the time scope of this game unfortunately.

As far as Kaminoans being "peaceful" from everything I've gathered they're typically very cold, calculating, and sinister. So I guess not very violent, but also not very peaceful.

Here you go.

Ewok Hang Glider - 42

I would love to see one in IA too though.

I imagine they'd have mobile, and an ability similar to the Overrun command card.

So were The Grand Inquisitor, Greedo and Obi-Wan (and Maybe Hera). So there's still a chance.

Oh that is just awful looking, we totally need that in game.

Honestly didnt know the Ventress thing, guess Im gonna have to do some research, lets replace Ventress with the Clint Eastwood of bounty hunters. Mr Cad Bane.

Huh, yeah, just looked up Ventress in the current canon and she is indeed dead. Didn't know that.
