The technology your Bounty Hunter uses is up to you; choose to specialize in prototype shield and heavy armor technology to become an unstoppable Powertech, or spend those hard-earned credits on the most destructive arsenal available as a Mercenary.

Get the hard facts on the galaxy's most feared; specializations, starship, and more!



PAX East begins in just one week and Star Wars: The Old Republic will be there!

Inside the main PAX East exhibition hall, visitors to Booth 912 will be among the first in the world to play the mid-game Republic Flashpoint, Taral V! Taking the role of a Trooper, Smuggler, Jedi Knight or Jedi Consular, you'll team up with other players in an extended hands-on gameplay experience. This is a challenging mission which even MMO veterans may find difficult, but we will prepare everyone who plays with a tactical briefing at the booth.

Conquered Taral V? Experienced every Origin World? There's still more. Throughout all three days of PAX East we'll be giving presentations of Star Wars: The Old Republic from our booth stage, including live Q&A sessions with Developers from the BioWare Austin team. Ask James Ohlen (Lead Designer) and Daniel Erickson (Lead Writer), as well as other team members, your burning questions.

If you can't make the trip to Boston, never fear... we'll be keeping you up to date from the show floor via our Community Forums, our Twitter feed and via our official Facebook page.
