In my Star Wars rpg, I am a scientist working in a lab on an Outer Rim planet. What am I researching or trying to create?

Rules are

1. No teleportation
2. No time travel
3. No matter replication

I'm not trying to make Star Wars like Star Trek. In the canon Disney universe, the first and second are thought to be "impossible" and the third one is a plot hole that may or may not exist in some form. What's something I could be working on in a galaxy where faster than light travel is commonplace and advanced artificial intelligence is nothing special?
