When I first thought up my new character, I chose a background story for him. He is an Ithorian Naturalist, sent by his Herd Leader to catalogue the creatures of the Galaxy. Ive decided that's what Im going to do; take a sample from every single creature in the game and store it in a massive library(several houses no doubt, heh). Im going to start with just Tatooine, as it's my favourite planet.

According to my flatmate Im "a stark raving loon"

Okay that's scary. I've been doing the same thing. And I'd put up a guildhall of JUST VHQ samples of anything I run into. Catalogued by planet. Oh, this is so coincidental!!!

Yea, a very neat idea. Where we have a skin that represents a class of animal, you could display display that next to the dna, hehe. I think your goal may be somewhat unrealistic in terms of storage space and use of your own time, but even if you have to scale it down a bit, it's still a neat idea.

That's freaking awesome... I'd totally create a toon on Chimaera just to check out your library as you build it up.

I'll be getting a second account in August, it will probably take me that long to finish off all the critters on Tatooine

I honestly dont mind how long it takes, I spend most of my time Roleplaying anyway, so this will be fantastic for me, it gives me a reason to run regular events for big groups in the RP community Im part of, and this last week and the next will likely have put me off any form of grinding in SWG for life(almost TKM, got to grind all FS xp over the next two weeks).

With the second account, I should be able to store it all fairly easily, small houses are 200 items now yes? I figure it should be about one small house per-planet, although Ill get a third account if necessary
