Sorry for the late reply, this got hijacked into a Star Wars themed adventure in my local club and so I had to retool it slightly for live group play. If people are still interested I'll be free to start this up soon (plus it's now been RL playtested :) )

This character would be the survivor of that purge, unable to go home and not likely to be hired by many reputable employers due to a distaste for the regime he worked for (hell, maybe there's even a background of war crimes). Of course, he probably falls into the shady side of mercenary work. I can be flexible with the specialist training he might possess.

Sounds like a useful member of the party in case anything goes wrong on board the ship. Specialist training would have to depend on who else was in the party, but anything from weapon and armour maintenance to field medicine could be useful.

I'm interested! Would a tech specialist be appropriate?

Since this mission is a boarding action mechanical engineering, electronics, computer skills and encryption could be useful. Some knowledge of ship design and maintenance would be good too, especially if your character had some sort of previous knowledge of the ship's specific make and model.

I would consider playing an ex soldier who was put into a cryogenic sleep after war left him with severe post-traumatic stress. He would have only been woken from this sleep a year prior to the beginning of the story.

Could be good, depending on how long he'd been asleep for and how severe his PTSD was. WOuldn't want someone who'd be suffering from too much Future Shock or who'd freeze up in a firefight but one who get's a little flaky sometimes would definitely work.
