This Jedi Knight silences yet another security Droid as he approaches a Separatist stronghold on Ord Mantell.

This past week, Star War: The Old republic reached 250,000 “likes” on Facebook. To celebrate this milestone, the development team will be releasing a new image every week on the Facebook page.

The volcanic mountain ranges of Ord Mantell provide the perfect cover for top-secret installations.

After a week with no updates last week we get two this week, the first of which can be found in the previous post. The second update we are treated to this week is a new developer blog entry by Rebecca Harwick, a writer on the SWTOR team. She writes about the vision for Ord Mantell, fleshing out the world, coming up with quests, and more. Check out her entry at the official site.

Ord Mantell is the latest planet that has been revealed to be present in The Old Republic. The planet is plagued with civil war between the Republic and separatist guerillas, and while not the most original idea for the Star Wars universe it should prove to be an interesting planet as it has not been widely publicized before.

Check out all the official site has to offer on the new planet, with background info as well as new screenshots and concept art, and expect to see all the new content live on starwarsmmo.net very soon.
