I was thinking my guy's ship could be the groups means of getting off world. Is that alright?

Thought the group would need a smuggler with a heart of gold. I noticed my pic guy has a brace. I might do something with that... 

Also could I make a side character? I was thinking an astromech droid or pilot droid. No weapons on either. Just to add some life to the ship that is currently nameless...
