SWT Non-Player Species Here is a link to a PDF that provides the same type of information found in the SWT Player Species guide, but for NPCs.

Is this because these races haven't been stated out, or because you don't think they'd translate well to the system? Because an all Jawa salvage game would be really fun, imho.

There are different reasons (dependent on the race) on why i didn't make them available for PCs. Coming up with the Ability Adjustments or the Specials wasn't too difficult. It was usually more along the lines that playing that Species would feel really overpowered (as in the case of the rapid regeneration of the Gand), too limited in scope (Tusken), or I just wanted there to be a pantheon of species that the players could only ever interact with and never be (the Hutt). It's a bit like not making ALL of the possible fantasy races available for players so there's some mystery and aspiration out there for them to experience.
All that being said, a Jawa salvage one-shot would be pretty damn fun.

Come to think about it, A New Hope from the Jawa's perspective would make an excellent convention one shot.
Exploration encounter to find droids. Social encounter to sell them. You have a Jawa that's loyal to the Empire, one who's a rebel, and one that's out for the most money possible, so when the Empire comes knocking there's interparty conflict on whether you steer them in the right direction. Then either have a combat with Stormtroopers or a Tusken Raiders.
Aaaaand this idea is getting reskinned for a future con game.

Or even better make a "long con" game (a game involving several tables and/or sessions) and the other group plays the droids that somehow have escaped their restraining bolts and get hunted down by the little scamps.

As I was looking through your character races, I was eager to see what choice I would make. I didn't find a picture that I could easily identify with so I used The Googles to see what other races hadn't been included. This is the guy I had an instant connection with: Nautolan He seems to be related to the Twi'leks or the squid baby from MiB.
