This week’s update delivers information about the Sith Empire’s Imperial Agent class.
Alyson Bridge said:
The Imperial Agent class delivers an experience unlike any other in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™, and this week, we’re excited to share new details that highlight what makes the Agent so unique.
Learn about the Agent’s Advanced Classes and the combat tactics they rely on. Specialize as a Sniper and leverage distance and concealment to get an edge on your enemies, or master stealth, surprise, and combat medicine to become a versatile and deadly Operative.
In addition, check out the following updates for more intel on the Imperial Agent class:
- If you’re looking for a companion with attitude, visit the Biographies section to read about the Agent’s dangerously charming Rattataki companion, Kaliyo.
- Aliens are incredibly rare among the ranks of Imperial Intelligence, but if that sounds like your kind of character, be sure to inspect the new Chiss Inhabitants page for information on this enigmatic species.
- The Imperial Agent’s sleek starship is one of the most unique models in the galaxy. Check out the X-70B Phantom-Class Prototype in the starships section to get a tour.
Last but not least, watch the new class gameplay video to get a look at the Agent in action!

Friday Update: Final Blood of the Empire Web Comic...
Smuggler
This week’s Friday Update brought us the “Smuggler’s Secret” update which contains information on a known associate (new Companion Character), smuggler’s starship, Twi’lek inhabitant page and Advanced Class specializations.
Joanne Laroche said:
No two Smugglers are exactly alike, and you’ll be able to customize your character to fit your play style. You’ll face many choices in how your Smuggler develops as you explore the Old Republic galaxy. One of the most important decisions will be which Advanced Class to pursue whether you want to become the fastest draw in the Outer Rim as a Gunslinger, or whether you prefer to specialize in some of the Smugglers more cunning tactics as a Scoundrel. Both paths have their own rewards and more choices within their various disciplines, but you’ll have to choose what style suits you best or better yet, maybe you’ll want to try them both!
This week also brought us to the conclusion of the Blood of the Empire web comic:
Joanne Laroche said:
Blood of the Empire reaches its twelfth and final issue, and Teneb Kel must face the aftermath of his actions. Exal Kressh is defeated, but the Emperor and the Dark Council will have further plans for their servant. What fate is Teneb prepared to carve for himself? And what will he do about Maggot?
