Lore Update: Brentaal
-
In the last few weeks we speculated about multiple locations that may appear in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Dantooine, Yavin IV, and Geonosis are all well represented in the marketing but today we are focusing on one of the more subtly referenced planetoids. When the Biography section debuted we noticed that Brentaal, Satele Shan's home world, sounded familiar. We quickly realized fans were first introduced to this planet as the namesake of the Republic cruiser the Brentaal Star during the Kill the Captain/Save the Captain flashpoint demo. With two hints on the table, we thought this planet deserved a closer look. -
Taris Developer Dispatch Dissection
Here is Darth Hater's dissection of the latest Developer Dispatch from Star Wars: The Old Republic, which focuses largely on the recently revealed Taris. As in our prior dissections, we will add new content in as we find it, so keep checking back. Feel free to let us know if you notice something we missed, and we will be happy to add it to our dissection with credit. Note: if something is mentioned in a prior dissection, then we do not reiterate it again here. Low bandwidth users should note there are numerous images contained in this article. -
Lore Update: Taris
Last Friday, Taris became the tenth announced planet for Star Wars: The Old Republic. Taris is an iconic and special location for fans of BioWare, first seen in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Taris was mentioned in numerous books and other video games, such as Star Wars: Empire at War. Perhaps by understanding how Taris evolved into abandoned ruins, we can understand why the Republic would wish to start anew.
