Exciting news for the video game world.  The most anticipated MMORPG for the PC (no, not Final Fantasy XIV Online)… Star Wars: The Old Republic will be at the stage to need a lot of beta testers.

If you feel you have what it takes to help make this game as great as it can be before it goes retail, come and join the beta.

Or if you just want to try out the game at its pre-release stage of development, you can come as well… but seriously, report any bugs or issues to help out the developers.

At the center of the galaxy, the gleaming towers of Coruscant symbolize the power and prosperity of Republic civilization—the result of thousands of years of progress and democracy. Coruscant has been the capital of the Republic since its founding more than twenty thousand years ago. Home to the Supreme Chancellor and the Galactic Senate, Coruscant is the most politically prominent planet in the galaxy.

Be sure to check out the HoloNet entry for a closer look at Coruscant and our other planets!

Jedi Master Gnost-Dural has entered a new holorecord in the Jedi Archive. After a thorough analysis of the evidence, Master Gnost-Dural has discovered that the Mandalorians’ return to the galaxy and alliance with the Sith was no coincidence – it was the result of years of shadowy machinations by the sinister agents of Imperial Intelligence.
