Yesterday we took a look at the stat changes in 1.1.2 and 3D models for the Imperial versions of Rakata weapons. By popular demand, here is a look at the Republic weapons.

As mentioned yesterday, models for additional armor pieces and weapons are available for viewing through the PTR version of DarthHaterDB. Please note the model viewer is a brand new feature and is still undergoing some minor tweaks and adjustments.

Update 1.1.2 was applied to the Star Wars: The Old Republic live servers today. The patch notes included a line item talking about upgrades that were done to the Rakata weapons:
- Rakata weapons are now correctly rating 140 and are fitted with mark 25 modifications. These items were previously less powerful than intended.
See a full comparison of the changes between the 1.1.2 and previous versions of these weapons after the jump, along with a sneak peek at a new 3D model viewer. Models for additional armor pieces and weapons are available for viewing through the PTR version of DarthHaterDB.

Lore Update: The Infinite Empire

The Eternity Vault is the first Operation available to players in Star Wars: The Old Republic; an elaborate prison created to contain an ancient evil. To understand the significance of the Eternity Vault, players must understand the evil contained within. BioWare gave us a sneak peak at the final boss of this Operation; a powerful Rakatan Force user, who has been imprisoned for many millennia. This revelation brings us to the Infinite Empire, a powerful civilization that players were first introduced to in the original Knights of the Old Republic.

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 As more information was released, this list became out of date and in need of a drastic overhaul.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.

Lore Update: Dantooine

Although Dantooine has not been officially announced as a planet in Star Wars: The Old Republic, we repeatedly see it crop up in the marketing: namely within the Threat of Peace webcomic. With the recent influx of planet reveals, we thought it would be a good idea to reevaluate other locations we may see in future updates. Since BioWare is known to give hints to unreleased content, we feel it is in the community's best interest to take a closer look at one of the first known planets of the Star Wars universe.

A few weeks ago Belsavis was revealed as the 11th planet for Star Wars: The Old Republic. Although this planet isn't very well known, it offers a chance for BioWare to showcase their abilities at developing a unique story. A quick glance at the available lore helps to showcase this fact and helps to highlight BioWare's interesting choice in planets.

Lore Update: Tatooine

Tatooine's announcement as the eighth planet for Star Wars: The Old Republic should come as no surprise to Star Wars fans. It has been featured in a multitude of previous video games ranging from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic to Star Wars Galaxies. It has been featured in all of the Star Wars movies, though only mentioned in Empire Strikes Back. Although it is a familiar planet, it is still worth re-examining its lore, geography, and overall purpose.

Korriban was the original homeworld of the Sith species. It houses many of the tombs for the ancient and powerful Dark Lords of the Sith, thus it is a haven for the dark side of the Force. It is the place where the Sith Academy lies and where you will start out if you decide to play as a Sith Warrior. Let us get to know this planet that I am sure many of you will be starting on.

We Want You

(Pretend Space Uncle Sam is narrating this)

21,000 years ago our beloved Republic was founded. In this desperate hour all are called upon to assist in its defense. While we want all who are able to assist, we also want people to know what they fight for. The following explains why we fight and why we must survive.

Since the rediscovery of the Rakata by Revan, we have determined that the first founders of the Republic were able to travel thanks to the study of ancient Rakatan hyperdrives. With the union of systems a common language and currency were set for trade between many species. With the poor technology of the time, westward travel was difficult due to the density of stars at the galactic core, leaving eastward expansion. This conflicted with the Hutt Empire, yet the distaste for the Hutts drew many systems to our cause. Growth was fairly constant with small military conflicts, yet all was fairly stable for thousands of years.

Crown Jewel of the Republic

3,000 years ago Dark times began for the Republic. A splinter faction within the Jedi order left the Republic to bring about the Hundred Years of Darkness. Durring this time horrid creatures were developed by these fallen Jedi, now known as Sith as they adopted the name from the beings they came to dominate.

1,000 years later the Great Hyperspace War commenced. Sith that had been in hiding had sinced revealed themselves and brought about an attack on the Jedi Order as well as the Republic. We managed to defeat these Sith and the leader Naga Sadow was forced into hiding on Yavin.

To thank the Jedi for their aid in the conflict, a mountain where a force nexus was located was given to the Jedi on Coruscant. On this mountain the Temple was built and was made the headquarters for the Jedi order until the recent events.

The Sith invaded again 300 years ago, just before the Mandalorian War. Exar Kun managed to lead the first attack on Coruscant since the founding of the Republic. While damaged, the Republic prevailed and pushed back these invaders. However, they would remain a constant threat to us all up to the present.

Following these wars were the Mandalorian War and Jedi Civil War. This recent history is still scarred in our memories. Our Republic is fragile, as we have lost many systems and our capital is in ruins. While this peace holds we rebuild and regroup, as the Sith can not be trusted to keep the peace. Come fight the good fight and help the Republic in its darkest hour. Join us

Our Finest Hour

(Before anyone complains I will be doing one of these for the other side soon.)
