It is indeed. If you want to play Jedi, there's a 1:1 Jedi Knight:Jedi Padawan ratio right now for newcomers in the Enclave, but I think non-Jedi is pretty much wide open. Sep is the guy to ask if you have more detailed questions.
Awesome, just made one character minus the history! If I want to make a Jedi Knight do I need to have someone make a padawan to keep up the ratio? Or, since there's no active masters can I just make one of those?

History:
Conrad Thrain was born on the isolated far rim planet Wayland from workers of the Republic who were workers for maintenance of the storage that were placed on the planet. Obviously the planet was not meant for raising a child so Conrad's parents had themselves relocated within a few years and eventually found a good home on Fondor. Unfortunately the family was always struggling and eventually went into debt. Wanting to help his parents, Conrad as a 14 year old started doing work for underground organizations and quickly learned how dangerous the galaxy really was. The boy nearly lost his life several times and figured he should start learning how to survive this cruel world. He eventually learned all he could through others who would give him tips. By the age of 18 Conrad had learned a lot and was even considering to take up bounty hunting as a profession. The consideration ended quickly though as his family's debt went too far and his mother was kidnapped one night. Determined to find her, Conrad searched through all the underground networks on Fondor, but all his leads went dry. Finally, after his father's constant begging, Conrad gave up searching and the two moved off the planet, constantly travelling and working together.
When the Clone Wars began by the time Conrad was 23, him and his father decided that their time would be best spent away from the war. Because of this decision they traveled throughout outer rim planets and picked up work when they could. Determined that the war would someday catch up to them though Conrad still practiced on his fighting skills and kept his weapons up to date. Conrad's beliefs proved correct two years later when the station they were on was boarded by separatists who were out to locate a Jedi onboard the station. After a day went by with no results, the separatists became more angry and searched more aggressively. Conrad thought they went too far when they started threatening his father on suspicious items, and when two battle droids aimed their weapons Conrad knew they crossed the line and pulled out his own pistol. His father yelled "NO" as Conrad shot both droids. Alarms blared and they began running. Determined to get off the station Conrad headed for a hangar with his father. When they were almost there, the droids surrounded them and things weren't looking good. At that moment the Jedi revealed himself and destroyed the droids surrounding Conrad and his dad. The three ran to the hangar as more droids came and fired. Conrad's father was hit and fell to the ground right as they reached a ship. Unable to go back for him, Conrad was forced to leave with the Jedi. Heartbroken, Conrad sobbed for hours, blaming himself for his father's loss.
As Conrad finally spoke with the Jedi he learned more about the Republic and the Jedi order which interested him. He became great friends with the Jedi for the next six months and assisted him on several missions. Finally, when the war seemed over Conrad was going to meet up with his Jedi friend when he suddenly heard shots nearby. Running to the scene Conrad saw several clones standing over his friend's body. Outraged, Conrad fired upon the clones and was almost killed but barely got away. Conrad escaped to his ship and took off, quickly leaving the system and looking for other survivors.

History: As where many Kel Dors are born Mordin was born on the planet Dorin. From a very early age he was seen as one who could use and control the force. As what happens to many force-sensitive Kel Dor, Mordin was taken by the Jedi to learn and develop the force at the Jedi Temple. There Mordin was taught as a youngling and grew in his power little by little. While his force powers seemed to be better than most his lightsaber skills weren't quite up to that level, and in effect Mordin even considered never using a lightsaber and relying on the force. By that time Mordin was chosen to be a padawan to a human Jedi named Namen Clark.
For a very lengthy time Namen led Mordin on adventures throughout the galaxy on mostly peaceful negotiations, but several times there were incidents that required fighting. Finding one specific battle as an example of almost losing his life, Mordin pressed hard into studying with a lightsaber to defend himself more effectively. Here he learned the sixth form of lightsaber styles Niman and delved deeply into it. When he felt like he was adequate for the form Mordin went into Soresu to assist with his defensive side.
After the Clone War broke out Mordin was 29 and was already a Jedi Knight. Mordin already knew with his lightsaber abilities that he wouldn't be best on the front lines and in effect became a strategist who spent long hours on meditating on various plans. He worked very closely with his clone officer Sev and became fairly good friends with the clone. While Mordin wasn't in constant battles he did spend time in several where he mostly was in the back using his force powers to assist with the battle. When times called for him to wield his lightsaber Mordin was prepared and fought to his greatest to succeed.
Fighting and battle strategy were not Mordin's only use in the war. The Jedi Knight was also called on several diplomacy missions to help the war. Many times he went with his former master Namen and the two were an effective team. As one who studied more into human structure and weaknesses in the force Mordin was able to use his force powers to assist them, one time using Malacia on the guard blocking their path to become sick and start puking in order to continue. Mordin felt successful in these missions and worked hard to contribute in the war. He was one who greatly dreaded what happened next.
When on the way back from a diplomacy mission, Mordin and Namen were attacked by Separatists forces and Mordin's Jedi ship crash landed on a desolate planet below. Fortunately his ship was mostly intact along with several of the other clone's ships who were also shot down. The survivors spent the night watching the battle rage on in the sky and watched in fear as their acclamator was torn into pieces. Knowing Namen was onboard Mordin was heartbroken, but held strong to try and get off the planet. For a long time the men were stranded from communication and hid for long nights from Separatists forces searching the planet for survivors from the battle. Finally after almost a month, Mordin and the clones were able to combine parts an repair two ships, Mordin's personal Jedi Starfighter and one of the clone's ARC-170 Starfighters. Mordin and the three clones accompanying bade farewell to the rest of the survivors promising to send back help once they got into communication. Up in space Mordin traveled to a remote planet that had a small town in it. Touching down Mordin and the clones got into communication. Mordin received two strange messages from the Jedi Temple, and the clones got a certain deadly message from the Chancellor. Mordin sensed the imminent danger and pulled out his lightsaber and engaged them. The fight was over quickly and the clones were dead. Saddened by the messages and the fight, Mordin traded the two ships for a small civilian ship and left the planet, eventually finding information on Mandalore and began his journey there.
