What 5 Species Would You Like To See?

Ok, like the title suggests if you had to choose 5 AND ONLY 5 playable species to be in the game what would they be? They don't have to be in order of preference and don't count humans either as we already know they're in game. Also, make sure they fit in with the timeline. Links would be handy too.

Here's mine:
Falleen
Nautolan
Trandoshan
Droid *
Kubaz

*Not a species I know but they would be great to play!

This may change but for the meantime I'm happy with that lot.

I'm too lazy to find links. But:

Wookie
Twi'lek
Trandoshan
Yoda's Species!
Ithorian

Me?

Trandoshan
Ithorian
Zabrak
Neimodian
Quarren

I'm hoping to see:

Human (obviously)
Twi'lek
Wookie
Gran
Droid

You get one more choice Redwatch, as humans arent allowed in the list cause they're a given.

Doh, yes you did say. So sub human for Ubese. It might take away some of the mystery but perhaps they become more rare as the timeline progresses. Everyone can then pretend to be princess Leia masquerading as a bounty hunter.

To be honest though Ubese is one race I'd seriously considder for my character. One trying to make a more respectable go of things than the racial stereotype.

Wookie
Twi'lek
Bothan
Rodian
Nautolan

Quarren
Neimoidian

Faleen
EWOK (Yes, I know they might not have been discovered yet, but who cares!)

My character for now will be Human, however depending on the classes announced I will likely change it to one of them.

I always like to have my character different as I get bored of humans easially. If not then it will be a female human to have some difference at least.

Wow - I wonder how I missed this?

Anyway...my 5:

Twi'lek (shock, horror...)

Ryn

Rakata

Draethos

and

Snivvian

i missed this thread to. I will play as human, but i hope for around 5-10 other races

What 5 races though? Excluding Human of course.

Crazy ones?

Yeah...ok, Ryn play music with their noses. I'll give you that one ^^

I don't normally like to quote SWTOR forum posts because they're either:

A) Maddeningly nonsensical

B) Have more trolls than a fairytale bridge

or

C) Are as dull as dishwater...

But this one caught my eye - the Species List is pretty comprehensive! I can't say I agree with all of it, but much of it is backed up with Screenshots, Avatars, pointing to the Timelines and comics, etc.

Its also a good place to see all the collected info thus far; thought it might prove "food for thought"

Here you go:

"What Species? Part 2"

Haha, oh damn. As much as I hope to be able to be Chiss, since Thrawn is pretty badass, they are gonna be a bullied race for sure. Damn Avatar xD

Some that aren't so origonal Trilogy? Nothing against Rodians and Ithorians but the universe has expanded more than that...

1. Near humans would be great it would allow alot of freedom to create tons of cannon species and be a great way to have more species then you can actually incorporate, all you'd need is an ability to change skin colour and eye colours
2. Zabrak (Jylan ofc)
3. Tweliks
4. Chiss would be cool
5. wild card Quermian

Well, the only one I'd really like is Trandoshan. If not, I want to change Skursir to a Hutt. On that note, do I have permission to make one of the many female Agents his metal-bikini-slave? I also need a skiff, some guards, a carbonite form of my mortal enemy and preferably a sarlacc.

In seriousness, any other species is a boon ^^

Lol was it on here or on RoM were a member was serious about being a hutt in game lol it cracked me up.

Salazar wanted to be a Hutt I believe (which he used in an effort to join the GTC) - the almighty entity was also apparently ranked 2nd highest, naturally behind his main character, the Dark Lord Salazar (who also travelled forward in time to team up with Count Dooku and amass a New Seperatist Fleet).

1. Mon Calamari
2. Gungan
3. Genosian
4. Wookie
5. Bothan
