I know I should hardly be the one mentioning this, as my faction has a SSD (in the Union's defense, we built the sucker under the old rules and it has been a part of our RPs for years now) but I am interested to know how a pirate has an SSD.
And yes, I know this person is (or at least claims not to be) a new player. Nevertheless I am interested.
If he wants to go that course he should probably make it generally known to the Staff and such like. There may be a story here of which we are unaware, and I will leave it in the hands of that member to see that said story is told. However, should a ratified answer not be forthcoming then yes, edits will be required.
The facts as I know them:
This is not a new member.
This is a new character.
This alone does not support the existance of a SSD.
Yeah, my bounty hunter character just scrounged up enough republic credits to purchase some death star plans, its okay tho, since its going to be blown up at the end.
