Game Update 1.6: Ancient Hypergate is now on the Public Test Server for players to enjoy. As with all updates, the download will require considerable time depending on connection speed. For now, here are the highlights of what to expect in the new update.
Game Update 1.6: Ancient Hypergate is now on the Public Test Server (PTS) allowing players to experience brand new in-game content, including a new PvP Warzone and Heroic Space Missions.
- Travel to a remote Warzone to discover a brand new PvP battle mechanic. The Republic and Imperial forces are locked in an intense conflict to control two energy pylons. Fight to take control of these powerful pylons and kill enemy forces to discharge energy into your faction’s gate. The first team to open their portal unleashes deadly reinforcements to wipe out enemy players. But beware, those who attempt to control these objective points may find them to be a bit volatile!
- Take on the best pilots in the galaxy. Navigate your ship to victory in new LeveI 50+ Heroic Mode Space Missions! With six new repeatable Heroic Mode Missions per faction, these updated Space Missions will challenge even the most skilled pilots. Players will earn Black Hole Commendations to spend on ship upgrades, high level gear, and more!
For those of you that already have a character, we encourage you to explore Ancient Hypergate and Heroic Space Missions. For your convenience, all Warzone matches on PTS will automatically be set to Ancient Hypergate. Please give us your feedback by posting on thePublic Test Server forum. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to offer the ability to copy characters for this test. Be sure to visit the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Test Center to learn more.
For the post in full, hit the official site. We're in the process of getting on the PTS now, expect new content incoming to the site soon.

Posted 11/20/2012 2:25:13 PMI'm anticipating the long winded time ones, like Pollith Minefield. The kind of missions you have to really grind at to get the rewards

Posted 11/20/2012 2:18:31 PMGiven when the 1.5 upate came to main servers, can we anticipate the 1.6 update being the week between Xmas and new year?

Posted 11/21/2012 6:17:11 AMI am hoping that, seeing the new content is rather limited in scope, that we will see it sooner, maybe early December?
I am still hoping for Cathar this year, I want to play my smuggler so badly.
