Following the release of all of these species more can be added at the developers discretion.

The aim of this game is to create a flourishing Underworld. Allowing players to play in the Star Wars Universe, either by themselves or with a team of friends.

Players should be able to not only play against AI opponents in Single player but online in multiplayer as well.

Allowing them to establish bases, complete heists together, using their different skills to boost their credits.

Crime Lord Class in multiplayer,will be the class the leads the mission, who makes decisions and sets up the heist as well as informs their allies on where to meet them, including secret bases, that they crafted themselves on this new world in the outer rim.

Smugglers are amongst the best pilots in the galaxy. Combined with their ability to make ship repairs and add enhancements to their vehicles they are a force to be reckoned with.

Bounty Hunters are Muscle and use special gear and weapons, not to mention their ships have tricks of their own.

Thieves are Stealthy and use their knowledge of Security to pick locks and escape.

Together with the Crime Lord: who acts as Support, they can pull off heists, and escape with their loot.

WANTED System. 

This game should also have a wanted System, Similar to Star Wars Outlaws and GTA. where players can be hunted down by Syndicate or the Empire, depending on their wanted level. Making this an opportunity when playing in Multiplayer.

Bounty Hunters, while they provide Muscle to the group, may decide to turn on their allies during a heist to earn the cash for their bounty.

Smugglers may eject the rest of the crew out their air lock, or surrender to their captors in exchange for Amnesty

Thieves may run off with all the loot during a job, leaving the rest of the team to hunt them down.

Crime Lords, may bribe the hunters using their vast resources and remove the bounty, at the cost of their reputation.

The game should allow dozens of ways for players to both play and gain notritety as they work their way to the highest ranks of the underworld. 

Customization

Everything in this game should be fully customizable.

From the clothing the player wears, to their species skin and eye colors, hair styles, or armor emblems.

Not to mention Cybernetics and Mod Enhancements.

Their ships and weapons should as well have dozens of cosmettic and upgrade options.

Not to mention we don’t want the largest ship a player can use to be a Freighter. We want to go as far to allow players to fly Corvettes, Star Yachts, Long range Fighters, and perhaps even Carriers, around this galaxy.

Taking on Star Destroyers, as they become not only notorious in the underworld but wanted pirates, Rebels themselves.

Operations in this game made by the Crime Lord, must also be Customizable. Allowing players to build Cantina’s, Palaces, Casinos and More the way the player wants to using furnishings and unique items to show off their fortunes.

Perhaps the Crime Lord runs their syndicate off of a Abandoned Chandrillan Starliner instead of a palace. We want players to have the opportunity to play as they see fit.
