Friday Update: Planet Quesh



Today's Star Wars: The Old Republic update brings us the poison-laced planet Quesh, and includes both a holonet entry and a video. For those still counting, the announcement of Quesh means this is the 17th confirmed planet. Info on the Holonet pages suggests the possibility of lots of inter-faction conflict, including a group of Republic-aligned Hutts, as Republic and Empire vie for control of the rare adrenal chemicals found on the planet. You can find images of Quesh by using the media gallery below. Dev tracker post and Aurebesh Translation are contained after the jump.

In a distant corner of Hutt Space, the poisonous planet Quesh orbited untouched for centuries, until the surprising discovery of rare adrenal chemicals drew the Galactic Republic to further explore this dangerous world. Unable to process the chemicals into adrenals, however, the Republic was forced to turn to the Hutts for help.

Access the HoloNet to learn more about Quesh. Check out this video to visit the poisonous world, and don't forget to visit the media section for never-before-seen screenshots, concept art, and wallpapers showcasing the planet.

    Another Republic-aligned planet. How unique. How different. Thank heavens they put another one in with that alignment because I was starting to worry that the Republic would be under-represented in the galactic landscape.

    Given the state of affairs in the Star Wars galaxy at this time and the nature of the sith at this time and what not it makes sense that a many of the contended planets will be aligned with the republic officially, politically speaking anyway. With the republic being on the ropes and the sith having the upper hand (like episode four! sort of) it would make sense that the vast majority of the contended planets will be republic aligned or former republic aligned. In fact, I doubt we will see any contended sith planets at launch. That's more like a later expansion kind of thing.

    Can only agree. Even ignoring the glut of Republic aligned planets, I can only think of this as an uninspired little dump. It feels like BW made this planet when they were tired or over the holiday weekend or something.

    Seeing as the Republic has a million planets under its flag it should dwarf the number of Sith planets.

    Besides what is one more planet that I can wreak destruction as I wait for diplomacy to fail. Then I can sit back and watch the planet buckle from the arriving Sith Fleet because of all the chaos I've caused. (insert evil laugh here)

    Something about this planet says "Silithus" to me.

    Did the bugs in Silithus use drugs---I mean, "adrenals"?

    With the bottom aurabesh translation being "Selkath Scientists" it would seem Manaan would be in the forseeabel future since they've got to have a home planet like everyone else.

    Of course every species has a home planet. That doesn't mean they will all be in game. Example, Trandosha, Duros, Ithor, you get the idea.

    Just because a species is present in the game doesn't mean we'll get their home planet as well.

    I honestly don't see why so many people liked Manaan. The best part of that planet was the back ground music that played all the time. Maybe that was enough to convince people the Selkath were interesting.

    For me, I like sea food, and it's all the only chance I get to play with my food. /anti - momma flame suit.

    So Hutta and Ord Mantell fused into one "new" planet.

    No, they got together and made a baby. It's got the features of both parents, but one hell of an attitude.

    Ideally, the content will make up for the 'recycling'.

    I disagree on the whole recycling thing. There are some similarities, but with what, 17 planets announced so far there is going to be similarities. Its like music and movies that people complain about copying other stuff. There are only so many original ideas, then you gotta just try to improve what's available. But even if it is very recycled, which it could be, I agree the content will make up for it.
