Friday Update: Planet Reveal and Threat of Peace.

A new planet for Star Wars: The Old Republic was revealed today on the Holonet: Dromund Kaas.

Colonized and built upon by the Sith Empire, Dromund Kaas is home to the Emperor and his Dark Council. Almost completely forgotten for over a thousand years, the rediscovery of this world prompted the Sith surprise attacks that plunged the entire galaxy headlong into war. Despite being off the map by comparison to more heavily visited planets, such as the training world of Korriban, Dromund Kaas is very much the center of the Empire. Although the Emperor himself seems to have fallen silent recently, his Dark Council may have awakened a dangerous, hidden power within the planets jungles and ruins.

Access the HoloNet records to learn more about the mysterious past, and uncertain future of Dromund Kaas. Also, explore Dromund Kaas in this planet flythrough video, and be sure to check out the media section to see the latest wallpapers, screenshots, and concept art


Along with the new planet was the release of Threat of Peace #23. Have fun going through all of the new data to find out new facts on the game.

Update: According to Xanamiar and Zenkou the holonet page says "Revans Disappearance" in Aurebesh.

    The best sith planet so far and overall in my opinion. The capital for the sith looks perfect in my vision, and I believe that the emperor is going to be one massive, powerful person. The amount of detail and effort in the environment makes the place so evil and dark within the entire planet. I am hoping that we get an idea of what is really going on with the emperor and the recent past about. The timeline should explain this once they talk about Revan. Though, I am very pleased by BioWare once more with their ability to create unique, different planets in their star wars lore. :)

    That and the holonet description confirms that it is, as well as confirming that it is the home of the Emperor and the Dark Council.

    Coruscant is to Tython as Dromund Kaas is to Korriban.

    im really liking how each planet so far has atleast 1 big city, and that all these cities are unique and have their own feel. In many games u can see how the building styles are the same in most cities, or that there is 1 big city in the game and then the rest are just half-assed villages. Here though, all of these look amazing. Im rllly excited to explore all these cities

    Actually, in the latest article about the Imperial Agent on SWTOR.com specifically said that the Agents start out on Hutta. It is hinted that you are on a mission to try to strike some type of deal with the Hutts.

    The aurebesh near the top of the Dromund Kaas page does say "Imperial Capital", which basically confirms it.

    I do believe so. With the whole city look and the dark council on the planet.Its probably the best guess.

    Weather effects confirmed. Red zones are probably locked content, or areas that aren't finished yet.

    Overall, very nice. Reminds me of Heart of Darkness.

    "Even though the planet is bristling with the energy of the dark side, it is the Imperial military that has the largest visible presence on Dromund Kaas. It is here that the Empire’s power brokering games are played and alliances are forged and broken. For up-and-coming Moffs and Imperial intelligence operatives, success – and survival – hangs on the ability to master these games of intrigue."

    That part makes it sound like DmK is where Agents will start out at.

    Mind-blowing. I foresee a great battle in those dark skies when we finally bring the fight to the Emperor :P Ok, enough day dreaming for now... It's really nice to see the Sith Capital at last. The buildings have that nice dark touch.
    If some people have been to Paris, you will notice from the little video that they made a certain room resemble the interior of the Louvre Museum. Really nice.
