A few months back we compiled a list of creatures seen in the Star Wars: The Old Republic marketing. As more information was released, this list became out of date and in need of a drastic overhaul. With the addition of the Inhabitants section to the HoloNet, we felt now was a good time to take a second look at who or what we may encounter in TOR.
There are two main factions in Star Wars: The Old Republic, the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. This article will focus on the former of the two. By examining the history of the Galactic Republic, we can understand how it works and how its past might dictate your character's future.
It's now time for everyone's favorite Mon Calamari.....ADMIRAL ACKBAR (The boogers on his chin are called barbels, all males have them) For everyone out there that wants to be a squid it is now time to talk about it.
Hailing from the planet Dac, Mon Calamari are an amphibious race that evolved alongside the Quarren, as well as others. These sentient neighbors caused trouble for the Mon Calamari as the two cultures are near opposites. There was even a war between the two. The Calamari won by taking some young Quarren and reeducating them before releasing them back to their own side. (Enough of the Quarren, we dont care about them right now because we have not seen any screenshots)
Mon Calamari are natural explorers and are well cultured. These creatures also are known for military feats and strategy. (After all, Ackbar was the Admiral of the Rebel Fleet) As for the chances of them being in Star Wars: The Old Republic, the odds are high. Their planet was discovered about the time of Revan so they are in the timeframe. The Supreme Chancellor at time of coruscant attack was even a squid. But as always, the best evidence is screenshots. The only one so far is of what appears to be a companion, but that is better than no Mon Calamari at all.
