Friday Update: Corellia and Blood of the Empire

This week's Friday update is the reveal of Corellia, the fifteenth playable planet, and Blood of the Empire Issue 11. A few months ago, there was a dissected image of a music sheet with the word "Corellia" as part of the title during the "Music of The Old Republic" video, and we speculated this meant Corellia was in the game.

For those keeping track, out of the 15 revealed planets, we have the following tally going regarding political alignment: five Republic, two Neutral, six Independent (including the "no government" Hoth), and only two Sith planets so far.

Home to some of the Republic's most influential leaders, the notoriously independent world of Corellia is of critical strategic significance. It's been a symbol of personal and economic freedom since the Republic's earliest days, and it's become the center of all the Republic's industry and enterprise. Despite long-standing evidence of corruption in Corellian government, the citizens' have always been staunchly loyal to the Republic. Losing contact with the planet and receiving images of destruction has caused grave concern in the Senate for what may be happening on the ground in Corellia's capital.

Access the HoloNet to learn more about Corellia. Check out this video to see the images of destruction that are causing so much concern. Also, don't forget to visit the media section for never-before-seen screenshots, concept art, and wallpapers showing the scene from every angle.

Two Sith apprentices, both aware of the secrets of the Emperor, now locked in battle in the tombs below the Sith Academy on Korriban--what will become of them? And who will choose the future of the galaxy?

Two words:
1) Actively
