IIRC (in the old EU) the oldest pre-Republic human populations were on Coruscant, Alsakan (both in the Core Worlds), and Tion (in the Outer Rim, who fought a war with the Hutt Empire at the time the Republic was forming, and then the Republic in its early years). Not sure about the ages of Corellia and Alderaan, but IIRC they were believed to have been colonized from Coruscant at some point in prehistory due to various artifacts (Centerpoint Station and the Killiks, respectively).

What's the scientist's focus? Biology? Geology? Chemistry? Astrophysics? Genetics? Or is he multidisciplinary (with Science! - or your system's counterpart, as SWSE has Physical Sciences - rather than a bunch of individual skills)?
