[Legacy] Star Wars Character Pool

Description
(CREATED IN LEGACY GAME. WOTC VERSION IS HERE.)

Description
A Character Pool containing a total of 278 characters from 24 different species from the Star Wars universe, with authentic names, attitudes and (more or less authentic) clothing.
Every species contain some characters who have unconventional looks (veteran soldiers, bounty hunters, etc) but the majority of them have XCOM default rookie-outfits.

I started a Let's Play video series on YouTube, using this Character pool's WotC version. Check it out if you are interested.


Important!
The Required Mods are truly necessary and they can be subscribed easily through this Mod-Collection.

I recommend using this CP in Random and Character Pool mode, so there are Humans in the roster as well. (Humans are the most common species in the Star Wars universe. Almost every second individual is a human.)

Furthermore I suggest everyone to use SaintKnave's Recruits Conserve Character Pool mod, so that by the end-game the list of the almost useless rookie recruits won't be full with characters from the CP.

List of species
Characters with both genders:
Twi'lek (30)
Zabrak* (30)
Chiss* (30)
Zeltron* (10)

Only-Male Characters:
Dathomirian (10)
Abyssin (10)
Advozse (10)
Aqualish** (5)
Arcona (10)
Bith (10)
Devaronian* (10)
Duros (10)
Gamorrean (10)
Gand (10)
Gran (10)
Kubaz (10)
Neimoidian (10)
Nikto (10)
Rodian (10)
Snivvian** (5)
Trandoshan (10)
Weequay (10)
HK Droid (3)
Tusken Raider*** (5)

* - No native voice available. Used default XCOM voices.
** - No native voice available. Used another alien voice.
*** - Not true Tuskens. Only "close enough" looks with XCOM 2 customization options.

Created and implemented new flags for the home-planets of the different species, using and expanding the style of Scott Kelly's project[flagsofthegalaxy.com].

Unfulfilled future plans
(not necessarily in order)
  • Adding even more characters
  • Creating a new CP with all of the canon Clones
  • Implementing Musashi's Legacy Customize Soldier Size mod, for more realistic alien species
  • Adding Biographies
  • Adding human characters with "Star Warsy" names and with random Planet-flags
  • Adding more relatively easy to create species. This will need some new mods though:
    • Facepaints (for Kiffar, or Mirialan, Pantoran),
    • figuring out a way for other skin colors (like chalk-white for Rattataki, Dathomirian females),
    • creating some new props (like eyemasks for Miraluka, modified Chiss-eyes for different colors, for Arkanians, etc.)
  • Trying to add even more models of alien heads from SWTOR


Giving credit
Thanks to DrDNB, who made all of the Star Wars Alien Head mods (and more), which are the foundation of this Character Pool.
A special thanks to thade for their Random Appearance Button mod, which made the time to create this CP so much shorter.

Also thanks to all of the other modders whose mods made this CP more authentic:
  • po(x2)capone
  • A Box of TurtleFlesh
  • dTM
  • carmau
  • Mantid
  • thegrimsqueaker72
  • krj12
  • Jsleezy
  • Lex
And last but not least thanks to the curators of fantasynamegenerators.com and exonoma.com, and to the community of Wookieepedia.[starwars.wikia.com]

Don't worry I'm still working on the WotC version but it's taking longer than anticipated because it'll double the amount of characters. But I'm getting close to finishing it, and I'm going to publish it in the next few weeks. So have patience.
I'm also planning a new Star Wars themed campaign and even plan to record it to YouTube.

any update on a WotC version? I tried just loading this one with the WotC packs, but everyone ends up coming out as just hoards of blue man group members. I want to have a mostly star wars themed game, but I really dont want to sit and manually create dozens of soldiers of the different races atm.

WotC version currently WIP! Also check out my new SW Planets Flag Pack mod

hey @TurtlePlayz any news on a WOTC version?
Corvis  [author] 11 Jul, 2023 @ 8:31am 
I'm not planning to work on it anymore. @TurtlePlayz may have passed it on to their friends.

will there be a WOTC version of this?
Delta 1138 16 Nov, 2020 @ 12:24am 
is there definitively no way to get this to work with WOTC?

I've been adding RequiresXPack=True to all the non-WOTC mod files and that's been solving it for me up till now wtih all the other mods.

currently I'm running all the required mods except the Legacy alien head options because and a few other legacy pieces that have corresponding WOTC compatible versions. clicking a few of the charactar pool entries everyones either bald humans or bald blue people, with some outfit color variation. I suppose I could try running the required Legacy versions with the RequiresXpack=True fix on them.

I'd love to see this updated to WOTC. I'm keen on doing a Star Wars playthrough, but bar Clone Troopers there's not much in the way of charactor packs out there.
