Friday Update: New Inhabitants on the Holonet
Not a whole lot of information today other than the fact that the Sith Pureblood race looks absolutely amazing and I think I know what I’ll be making my Sith characters. Other entries into the Holonet include the Terentatek, Vine Cat, and a few droids.
Be sure to check them out on the inhabitants page here.
Sith Warrior Update, Plus Companion Character Info
This week we have gotten both an update to the Sith Warrior class, plus a new games system update for companion characters.
Sith Warrior Update!
Wondering how you will be able to customize the Sith Warrior to fit your specific play style? We are excited to confirm the two Advanced Classes for the Sith Warrior: The Juggernaut and the Marauder! Whether you want to charge into the fray as a Juggernaut, punishing your adversaries while protecting your allies, or slice through enemy ranks with two Lightsabers and unmatched aggression, the Advanced Classes system in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ will give you the power to match your play style.
In conjunction with the Companion Character section released today, we present you with one of the Sith Warrior’s Companions – Vette! You can learn more about this known associate on the Sith Warrior page or by accessing Vette’s biography.
Check out the newly updated HoloNet to get details about the Advanced Classes available to the Sith Warrior. Also be sure to visit the media section for a new video featuring the Sith Warrior as well as some screenshots showing the Juggernaut and Marauder in action! (Source)
Sith Warrior Update!
Every Star Wars™ hero needs a companion. Han has Chewie, Luke has R2-D2 — even Jabba has the cackling monkey lizard Salacious B. Crumb. These characters will compliment your strengths or weaknesses, and provide company for the epic journey you will inevitably undertake. Whether they’re combative, friendly, flirtatious, or even just good for a laugh, they always contribute to your development and serve as a sounding board for your choices. In Star Wars™: The Old Republic™, a variety of these Companion Characters will join your cause.
Learn more about Companion Characters and how they can shape and enhance your game play by visiting the Game Systems section!
Three Updates This Week to the Official Site
This week the Star Wars: The Old Republic website has been updated with three fairly major sections. We see the reveal of Darth Malgus, Dark Lord of the Sith and the Sith Lord seen in the Deceived trailer, in the form of a new novel also titled Deceived. There is also a new Holonet section, called Inhabitants, as well as several new characters added to the Biographies section.
Revealing Darth Malgus, Dark Lord of the Sith
You first experienced the devastating might of Darth Malgus on the day that changed the galaxy forever during the Sacking of Coruscant. Now you can learn more about the man behind the mask in the latest novel set in the same time period as Star Wars™: The Old Republic™!
New Holorecord Now Online: Inhabitants!
If you’ve been waiting for information about the colorful creatures, species, and droids that populate the galaxy, make sure to check out our new HoloNet expansion – Inhabitants! In this section you can find new information and media about the galactic inhabitants that will entertain – and challenge – you in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™.
Inhabitants will be updated regularly, so be sure to check back often to get the latest updates and information!
HoloNet Biographies Updated!
We’ve expanded the Biographies section of the HoloNet to include more of the exciting figures you will meet in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™!
This update includes profiles of three of the most influential people in The Old Republic era: Galactic Republic Special Forces commander, General Garza; the fierce warrior and sole ruler of the Mandalorians, Mandalore; and the star of the “Deceived” cinematic trailer, the ruthless Darth Malgus!
This is just the second in a series of regular updates to the Biographies section so be sure to check back regularly!
New Biographies Section on Holonet
A new section has been added to the Holonet on the official site to supplement what we have seen in Threat of Peace, developer walkthroughs, and the cinematic “Deceived” trailer called Biographies.
Curious about some of the characters you’ve seen in Threat of Peace™, the Developer Walkthrough, or the “Deceived” cinematic trailer? Now you can find out all about them!
We are thrilled to introduce a new expansion to our HoloNet archives: Biographies! Now you can view profiles of several of the galaxy’s most notable figures. Each entry highlights someone you may meet, travel with, or fight alongside or against as you help determine the future of the galaxy in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™!
Just like the Classes, Planets, and Timelines sections, the Biographies archives will be expanded regularly, so check back often to make sure you get the latest updates!
Sean also added that we will be seeing some updates both at E3 this year and even before then.
Biographies is the foundation for something more… what exactly that is, I can’t tell you quite yet. All I can say at this time is stay tuned; E3 2010 isn’t that far away and we actually have some exciting (and new) updates for you before then.
Expect to see a lot of interesting news and features come E3 this year!
Sith Inquisitor Added to Holonet
The holonet entry for the last revealed class in The Old Republic, the Sith Inquisitor, has been added to the official site, as well as some new media. Check out new screenshots, concept art, and wallpapers and read up on the lore side of the Inquisitor.
