Game MechanicsMob Spawning is the process by which npc and creature objects are brought into or removed from the game world. There are three types of spawning scenerios:
Static Townsperson SpawnsStatic Townsperson spawns are non attackable npcs that appear at fixed positions in every NPC city. Static townsperson npcs come in several types:
Most of these npcs are basically for decorative purposes to add atmosphere to each town. Each planet has its own unique set of npcs that are spawnable within a town. For example, gungan townsperson npcs only spawn on naboo as do Naboo RSF npcs and so on. Townsperson npcs have fixed spawn points and numbers per spawn. The number of townsperson npcs at a particular point will not change, however the composition changes at every server reboot. Following a server reboot, the type of npc at a particular spawn point will change although the quantity will not. As an example, at a fixed point near theed starport, there were two npcs ('a gungan hermit' and 'a farmer' )that spawn at a set location. At every server reboot these npcs are swapped with two different npc types ('a spacer' and 'a technician'. All static townsperson npcs have names along with an occupation description (ex.

As a general rule, almost any kind of npc occupation can be placed together. In some cases it has been observed where storm troopers are paired with other npcs, thus the spawn system here is very diverse and randomized. Source References
