Proposal
Add Rattataki and/or Miraluka as playable race.
Justification
More playable races give more color and variety within the SWG community, as well for the roleplayers.
Plus considering the said races are just "humans" that simply lack eyes/hair and have pale white skintone.
Like we already got chiss and miralans, who are just human models with green and blue skintone.
Motivation
I merely like to see more variety of alien races added to the game.
Considering that we got Chiss and Miralans made playable, that I dont remember being available in the original SWG, I want to suggest adding other humanlike alien races such as Rattataki and Miralukas as options from the SWTOR.

Rattataki could have a variety of unique face tattoos to choose from, considering the race is naturally bald.
While Miraluka could have different blindfolds to cover their nonexistent eyes, since they have none.

If i remember correctly the devs have said it creates a ton of work for them to add races. During the last event new races being added was discussed and from what i recall it was not something they want to do currently.
 
There’s a good chance we’ll do more species, but there are some things on the roadmap that should get attention first.
Human-like species are a good suggestion because the most difficult part of adding species is modeling all the existing hats and helmets to fit a new head shape (assuming they have a human body)

We’ll likely implement a group that is mostly human-like, or has human bodies and heads very close in shape to some existing playable species.
 
That is very understandable and fair insight, as well expected answer. :)
Thank you for the replies, this was just something I wished to post here and good to know it may be potentially considered in the distant future.
