Just thinking about character creation and a thought occured to me. I am guessing there will be a few more races in AoR that aren't in EotE. Well I am hoping at least.

Now as a person who hasn't yet got the Rulebook and as someone who isn't quite familiar with the nitty gritty of Star Wars I would just like to ask: Is there a "Life on the Fringe" section for the new races? Also, is there a "Life in the Rebellion" section for those races that are not in AoR?

Nope on the "life on the fringe" type of information.

The Beta book is primarily focused on the mechanics of the system, with the fluff elements to be added for the final release next year.
