Friday Update: Imperial Agent Developer Blog

Senior Writer Alexander Freed divulges some of the secrets of the life of the Imperial Agent


Enjoy playing MadLibs in the DevBlog

Real time decoding:

It all starts on Hutta, where THE EMPIRE is trying to GAIN the ALLEGIANCE of NEM'RO the Hutt. After THE HUTTA MISSION, the Imperial Agent IS SENT TO ASSASSINATE A PROMINENT SENATOR on behalf of Darth BARAS. Hell work alongside a genetically enhanced SOLDIER, encounter double-agents and triple-agents, betray HIS OWN ALLIES or perform atrocities in the name of the Empire. The Imperial Agent will need to determine his own loyalties and the loyalties of those around him, and survive the attentions of SADOW'S successor, the Sith Lord DARTH ANDEDDU.

...

For those of you giving it a try, one last word of advice: Whatever you do? Don't trust ANYONE.


We're going with Zoidberg's very good suggestion of DARTH ANDEDDU unless we can find something better... but Drew Karpyshyn mentions him in the Darth Bane books & there are a few blog entries mentioning him, so this is our strongest contender so far:

I don't really know if I can say anything else about who might be appearing in the novel, but I'm going to throw a couple names out just for kicks: Cognus, Set Harth, Andeddu.
Wow, I probably said way too much. Maybe I should delete that. But for some reason I've been very in touch with my own personal dark side lately, so let's leave it for now and see if I get in trouble.


Happy New Year

    Well I hate to piss in anyone's Cheerios but; if this was an actual communiqué, then there would be rules and standards for which words would be obfuscated. If “Darth” was allowed to remain in its unaltered form in the third line of the paragraph, why would it be suppressed in the last line of the paragraph?

    Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to finally be able to place Andeddu in the timeline. It would answer some questions, but it doesn’t make sense.

    Also, has anyone ever referred to Baras as Darth? He’s a pretty deceptive dude. If he was a Darth, but did not insist his subordinates call him Darth, chances are his name wasn’t Darth Baras. He probably used the title with a new name in a completely different circle of influence, and his subordinates didn’t know about Baras’ extracurricular activities.

    It seems to me that whomever the third line’s “Darth (5)” references, is the same as the last line’s “(7) successor” (or (5)’s successor). I.e. Darth Frank(5)… Frank’s(7) successor.

    “He is the Emperor of the Sith. The Sith are a group that the Jedi thought they had killed off in the Great Hyperspace War. He was not Emperor of the Sith during the Hyperspace War, which is why the Republic have no previous knowledge of his existence” – Daniel Erikson

    Naga Sadow is not our Emperor.

    I call BS on Baras, Sadow, and (while I really want to believe) Andeddu too.

    Before we start patting ourselves on the back for a job well done… we still need to figure out the identity of “Darth 5”, and “5 7”. Time to hit the books, let's cross reference Sorcs of Tund, Nightsisters, members of the Lost Tribe, known Jedi mastersof the era... we're not finished.

    Bah, it's also just as likely the "Don't trust anyone" line even applies to this very excerpt and is just something to get the forums talking

    Darth Addendu fits perfectly imo. He's known to have lived for centuries, and he's only known to have lived thousands of years before 1000 BBY. It would also make sense why the Jedi would erase all record of him if he was the Emperor.

    Yet he's supposed to be in stasis on Prakith in the Deep Core at this time. While BioWare can always do a retcon and have him fit in it seems wierd that they would use Andeddu rather then make a new character.

    Incorrect. There is no specification as to when he was in stasis. The only thing we know is that he existed "Some period after the hundred year darkness."

    Because of this, it's safe to assume that a scenario like so has went down.

    1 Andeddu participated in the GHW.
    2 He was a sith lord, and fled with his bretheren, opposite of Naga Sadow
    3 After the events of the game and whatever, he flees from his Empire to Prakith.

    Be sure to know that this is just a theory, but a viable theory. :)

    There is always lore they can create to make something work out. For example there can be an in game event where your main objective is to force Andeddu into a carbon freeze and shove him in a rocket to the center of the Galaxy.

    The trouble i have with Andeddu is that he left for his citidel of his own accord. To get away from other sith who he believed wanted to take his secrets or power. I'm a bit unsure on when he did this though. Although the hyperspace war rings a bell.

    I gotta go with that they wouldn't put in a new, unknown character in a marketing piece of that fashion.

    Their marketing department is totally aligned with the Dark Side.

    I think its a toss out that they will be revealing the identity of the Emperor soon. Its seems to me there are only 3 possibilitys.
    a) Andeddu
    b) Karnage
    c)Unknown

    we will just have to wait and see.
