While we didn't quite make the numbers, we definitely saw how excited the community is about this and how everyone came together. After all of that, there's no way we could hold back with our special reveal at Comic-Con!

If you’ve been following the news coming out of the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ panel at Comic-Con International, you’ve heard the announcement that we will indeed have Space Combat as part of the TOR experience! But what does that mean? Space combat is an alternative gameplay experience to the primary game of storytelling, questing, and ground-based combat. In space combat, you fly your personal ship to various “hot spots” on your galaxy map. From there, you will blast your way through asteroid fields, enemy fighters, frigates, destroyers, and a variety of other obstacles that will evoke memories...

Happy Birthday Division Six!
On July 2nd, 2009 I decided to establish Division Six for The Old Republic. Since the day I received the "The wait is over" email in 2008 announcing The Old Republic to the public, I knew I was going to have to reunite The Illuminati and start off fresh.

In just 12 months we've become a very promising guild filled with experienced and dedicated members, housing one of the most active communities for a game that isn't even in beta yet. I'd like to thank every one of our active pre-beta members for putting your trust and dedication into our group, each active member will be receiving a special one year anniversary medal!

Dawn of Six: Issue 3!
You can check out the latest installment of Dawn of Six HERE!...

Just an update: on the status of our film project. Today we began brand new pre production work for Destiny of Defiance with Jason Colett joining the cast!

To apologize for the complete halt of production for the past 5 months, we'd like to share our first day's choreography anamatic storyboard with you! Please remember that this is a very rough cut of day one production!
Obligatory disclaimer: This is practice/ anamatic footage, as the location kind of gives away.



Dawn of Six Issue 3
Issue 3 is almost ready to be released! Check back soon!

The countdown on the official swtor website points to 5pm PST, when the week of reveals is scheduled to begin. It's probably safe to assume that the Hope trailer will be officially released on the English website tonight. I wouldn't hold my breath for much more than that though, as e3 doesn't begin until tomorrow.

E3 Highlights: Day 1
Player-owned ships officially confirmed!

IGN wrote:Every player, regardless of their chosen class, will get their own starship to command across the galaxy. Always dreamed of flying a Corellian vessel? Choose the Vanguard class when playing. Or maybe you've had some sort of sick dream where you gangster walk through the galaxy aboard an Imperial transport (if so, choose the Sith Fury class).

While the details are somewhat vague, It's safe to assume that your ship will...

Timeline update featuring information about the Jedi Civil War (Knights of the Old Republic 2 anyone?)!

SeanDahlberg wrote:One of the greatest threats to the Republic preceding the Great War arose approximately three hundred years before when the Sith Lords Darth Revan and Darth Malak began the Jedi Civil War. Jedi Master Gnost-Dural’s historical investigation steps back to this era, and he examines new evidence which reshapes the Order’s understanding of the events surrounding Revan’s fall and his ultimate fate.

Watch the latest Timeline holorecord, The Jedi Civil War, narrated by actor Lance Henriksen.

UPDATE
Rob Chesney has gotten involved in all the canon debate and helped clear some things up:
