How long has the Resistance been active? Did they start immediately upon the coup's success 20 years ago, or did it take a few years to get the basics down, then some to gather men and equipment and they've only recently started actually fighting?

Sorry; I completely missed this. The Resistance would have been formed from forces that fought the military aspects of the Empire's coup, as it was not bloodless by any means. They have been fighting on and off over the 20 years since, but it took time to organise, and especially to do so with the Empire hunting them down the whole time.

Would playing an AI that uploads himself into his fighter be alright as a character?

As stated in the OP post; 'Sapient' AI are relatively uncommon. There are species and races that are 'synthetic', however. 
While technically it would be possible, I'm going to veto it, as I'm aiming more for a traditional pilots-in-craft (primarily for the rule of cool and the feel of it) approach, and also for the interaction with other characters outside of a fighter, and the associated vulnerabilities and inherent dramatic potential that comes with being tied to a body.

It seems I might not find the time to join after all; sorry about this.
