I'm talking about In-story. not game mechanics.

understood. however, like I said, all of the Havoc Squad members have Nicknames. makes sense that the Trooper would earn a recognizable Nickname as well, over the course of his story. plus, the Imperial Agent presumably had a rank before becoming Cipher Nine. correct?

according to Wookiepedia, our characters are one of the following: Sith Warrior - Emperor's Wrath Sith Inquisitor - Darth Nox Bounty Hunter - Grand Champion of the Great Hunt Imperial Agent - Cipher Nine Jedi Knight - Hero of Tython Jedi Consular - Barsen'thor Smuggler - Voidhound Republic Trooper - Unidentified Havoc Squad commander ........ "Unidentified Havoc Squad commander"? wut? why doesn't the Trooper have a fancy heroic title? everyone in Havoc Squad has a nickname when you join up at the beginning, doesn't it make sense that you'd earn a nickname over the course of the story yourself?

Lore-wise, does it make sense? Looking at making a Ratta Commando, since I bought the unlock for the race, but I am just wondering about this. Can justify a Ratta Jedi, as Padawans come from all over, but as I understand it, overall, the Rattataki are loyal to the Empire? so does one enlisting in the Republic Military make sense? are there Ratta NPCs on the Republic side at all?
