4,100 BBY = Year 447 before the Treaty of Coruscant (BTC)

Sorry man, probably no Manaan :/
Yeah, I read up on that right after I posted, but still kolto is referenced several times in the game (kolto tanks, kolto injectors, ...), whereas I haven't seen a single mention of bacta. Which would mean that kolto is still in wide use at the time of the game, which would still make Manaan a viable location.

4,100 BBY was more than 100 years before KotOR, which first introduced Manaan and Kolto, so even if that's when the galaxy started using Bacta, it's doesn't look like that's when it replaced Kolto.
The timeframe for Kolto finally getting phased out is still up in the air, and they could even use this game as an opportunity to expand the story of how that change happened beyond just "Bacta was better".

Personally, I'd really like to see Onderon/Dxun.

Yavin IV is more likely to be a raid than an explorable area.

I'd love to see Onderon and Dxun make it. Onderon could be something like Dromund Kaas in size, having both the city of Iziz and some wild landscapes to venture in. Dxun could be the same size as the starter planets, basically being an extention of Onderon rather than a "planet" of it's own. Lots of opportunities for storytelling there, especially with Dxun... and of course the wild beasts to hunt.
