Discussing Potential New Old Republic Characters

So as the title says, I’d like to sit and discuss some ideas for potential additions to the Old Republic faction, since the team had really been split apart from pretty much its inception, and hasn’t really gotten anything new to help it out like the Sith Empire faction has. There’s the obvious picks like Trask Ulgo, who could be a nice addition, with a possible sacrifice type of mechanic to reference his standing against Darth Bandon, to buy the then amnesiac Revan time to escape, or Satele Shan. Though in the case of Satele I feel like just for the sheer fact of her being a Jedi, her abilities would end up being more beneficial to Jedi teams, than Old Republic unless she was specifically tailored to work exceptionally well with Old Republic allies over Jedi allies. I take it there are plenty of others I’m missing who could also work, be it something like a generic Old Republic Trooper, or some named character that I may be forgetting, or not know about from The Knights of the Old Republic games, or the Old Republic MMO. Feel free to shoot some ideas out there, if you would like.

    That's 'Star Trek', which is not allowed here since this is 'Star Wars'



    Captain Kirk is as much canon in star wars as any of the characters you mentioned.... He even fought Bossk, who is canon ...




    Star Trek came out 9 years before Star Wars


    Star Wars came out 3 years after Star Wars

    Do you have any Mr. Data to back that claim?

    Gene Roddenbery's rolling in his grave at this

    I don’t think he minded extra commas. Captain Kirk was a big fan of periods

    Bao-Dur

    Meetra Surik


    I could see Jace Malcom, and Bao-Dur working. Not sure on Surik though, since I feel she might end up being some sort of character that goes well with Revan if she were added.

    Illogical, that would be.

    He was cremated, so I highly doubt it :)


    He was launched into orbit, so probably literally rolling.

    Shae vizla
    Torian cadera
    Blizz
    Jace malcom
    Kira carsen
    Satele shan
    Kaliyo djannis

    I’d personally love having a lot of these characters, though I feel quite a few of them would be part of the Sith Empire faction, and/or some other faction, rather than the Old Republic faction, since Kaliyo, Shae Vizla, Blizz, and Torian, (and maybe the dark side version of Kira), are all not aligned with the Old Republic.
