Tatooine and Threat of Peace #22

The Sands of Tatooine and Threat of Peace #22 were both announced today for Star Wars: The Old Republic via Sean:
The twenty-second issue of Threat of Peace takes us to the long-abandoned Jedi Enclave on Dantooine, where Lieutenant Tavus meets the true culprit behind the efforts to undermine the peace treaty. It seems Master Dar'nala survived her Imperial captivity after all, and everything thats happened since has been all part of her plan. Despite his doubts, Lieutenant Tavus agrees to assist Master Dar'nala in completing her plan by slaying the Sith mastermind, Lord Baras.

Check out the latest issue of Threat of Peace now.

Far in the Outer Rim, the sands of Tatooine bake beneath the glare of two bright suns. Small pockets of barely civilized communities dot the desolate landscape, surrounded by the endless expanse of barren dunes and rocky canyons that have silently slain so many of those who ventured out into desert. Among the small shantytowns and settlements that persist, travelers may find shelter from the brutal climate, but trust is as rare as water on this lawless world. Visitors and locals alike must constantly watch their backs in Tatooines townships.

Access the HoloNet records to find out more about the desert wasteland of Tatooine, and the mysteries buried in its scorched sands. Be sure to check out the Media section to get the latest screenshots, concept art, and wallpapers depicting this harsh, desert wasteland.

    I'm sure there are escape paths somehow. I wouldn't think BioWare would like to have people run for hours to get back to urban areas to travel somewhere else. It will be something simple, but convenient for sure. :)

    One, It says that this planet is at the state of about 500 years after Czerka ends their mining colonies and begins to work on weapons of some sort. So A lot can happen in that 500 years after Czerka left. Enough to establish mostly rouge cities and cantinas. Second it says that there isn't a heavy presence of Empire and Republic colonies or troops. There are a selective few Empire agents and scientist, but as for a heavy activity of Fraction npc's it doesn't sound like there will be a lot. As for players... that’s a different story. I personally think that if we'd just be patient BW and LA can get their job done and we'll be fine. Besides we have two more planets, of which will most likely be Empire.

    Also, I don't follow Threat of Peace, but was Tatooine's inclusion in TOR hinted at in ToP?

    Even if it was even slightly hinted at. Although, if you were to talk about hints towards Tatooine - Wasn't there mention of the huts helping the republic somewhere?

    Bah didn't finish that sentence and I can't be assed finding the edit button so... "Even if Tatooine was hinted at the slightest bit it would have even more proof of being in the game

    No, to be honest they never even talked about Tatooine. This planet came out of the blue, but I have yet to read the lore and how it’s incorporated into the universe of TOR. Well time to read.

    Not sure, but Tatooine was definitely hinted at in the newsletter last week.

    The reason Obi-Wan hid Luke on Tatooine was partly because it was a nothing world that no one had any business every going to. But the EU has dropped the ball by making it relevant to every other SW book and game. It's really ruining the perception of Tatooine. I'd have liked some obscure planet like they did with Tython and Balmorra.

    Well I like the sense of hanging out in underworld cantinas and in bars on a desolate planet, or seeing a sandcrawler. But other than some of the obvious I understand what you’re trying to say Rouge. LA has made Tatooine seem like a planet were epic events occur, even though it technically isn't. While I might not have a problem with it, I do think there’s a limit to go to. Quotes like these don't say that the planet will be to blown out of proportion: "Visitors and locals alike must constantly watch their backs in Tatooine’s townships." "Among the small shantytowns and settlements that persist, travelers may find shelter from the brutal climate, but trust is as rare as water on this lawless world. "

    However It still appears to have some sense of epicness that isn't, well... too crazy. Like saying that Czerka has some crazy weapons buried under the sands of the dune seas, that isn’t too crazy. Giving reason for the Empire to go check out Tatooine. As said that their messing with Czerka’s old labs. But past that it sounds like the good old pirate, bar loving, sandy planet we know. One last quote that made me appreciate making Tatooine a playable planet is this: "Between the two, a terrible secret sleeps in the sand." (Sarlacc! Haha just kidding... or am I?)
