SWTOR's Imperial Agent revealed News

MMO PC News by Oli Welsh

6 November, 2009

BioWare and LucasArts have revealed the sixth of eight character classes in their Star Wars MMO, The Old Republic: the Imperial Agent.

This rogue-style class on the Empire side specialises in subterfuge, infiltration and assassination, doing the Empire's dirty work behind the scenes. Imperial Agents' skills will be based around the use of high-tech gadgetary.

They will show you "the underbelly of the Empire in a way never before seen," producer Blaine Christine told press at an EA event earlier this week.

There was a hint that Imperial Agents would be coming to the game when they were detailed in a timeline trailer earlier this year.

Agents join Sith Warriors and Bounty Hunters on the Empire side, and face off against Jedi Knights, Smugglers and Troopers fighting for the Republic. That leaves two classes to be revealed.

We may or may not be doing just that when we bring you more on Star Wars: The Old Republic in a few weeks' time.

How can there be "Imperial Agents" in this game if it is set thousands of years before the Empire existed. Or am I missing something?

The Sith Empire Revan went off to fight, to be precise.

But that Sith Empire deals with the True Sith, the actual alien lifeforms called Sith. I think there is a Sith Empire in TOR, built from the remains of Revan and Malak's Sith army.

The TRUE Sith died off within the Sith Empire long ago. Only the ones on Tund and Yavin remained, and they never went about Empire building.

The Sith of Revan's time were a creation based upon discovery by Revan of ancient teachings. But Revan discovered the truth that the ancient Sith Empire had not been entirely destroyed during the last war, and instead existed in uncharted areas of space.
