Scientist in the Star Wars galaxy RPG build

[exalted]

After the last film I'd say lightspeed missiles may be the future, could well be a madscience plan to dominate the galaxy.

[Lord Azagthoth]

Missiles equipped with hyperjump engines and functional hyperspace motivators. Either to attack target far, far, away... or attack targets in hyperspace. And when they exit hyperspace, they continue on Exalted's lightspeed drive.

If your campaign preludes Episode VII - hyperspace transmitters and receivers (in Legends this was not possible, at least in the books I've read).
