Cast of Characters

Arcann The Dark Prince. - "Destiny is a lie."
  • Destiny is a lie. Fate is the falsest of hopes. I am beyond prophecy. I forge my own path by making the difficult choices. Now, it is your turn. I am not without mercy. Surrender and you may live. Stand against me, and I will turn you into a monument for fools who believe their victory is preordained. Choose wisely.

Valkorion The Immortal Emperor. - "I can make you powerful beyond reason...if you will only kneel."
  • Everything until now has been the means to an end. I forged the Empire of Zakuul to surmount all of my previous works. It will span eternity. Do not presume there are limits to my power. The Eternal Throne commands a fleet that will reshape the galaxy into any image I choose. Whatever you hope to achieve by opposing me, know that you will never succeed.
Lana Beniko The Dark Advisor. - "I deemed you a worthy ally once. I hope I wasn't wrong."
  • The Sith Empire and Galactic Republic have fallen. The Jedi and Sith have retreated to their temples. No one remains to stand between the Eternal Throne and the utter destruction of all we hold dear. It has to be you. Find the strength within yourself to persevere and sacrifice your own needs for those of the galaxy. You're our last hope.
Vaylin The Remorseless Prodigy. - "Rules are for people who lack the creativity to break them."
  • I have always been held back. All my life, my power has been restrained for fear of the chaos and bloodshed that I might inflict on a whim. But our whims represent our truest selves. And now that my power is fully my own, I intend to be very truthful.
Koth Vortena The Exiled General. - "We're going to win this thing. I’m telling you, its destiny."
  • I grew up on Zakuul, served in the military. I know its potential for greatness, but all I see is the bleak reality of what it's become. Someone has to stand up to tyranny, right here and now. To make it clear that we reject this twisted vision for the galaxy. Someone has to own up to their destiny and fight.
Senya The Vengeful Enforcer. - "Even Emperors must answer to the law."
  • I have served with honor. I have upheld the law and pursued offenders to the far corners of the galaxy. And I have lost everyone I ever held close. The worst among us now rule over us. Their laws will never bring justice to the monsters who betray our ideals and murder our children. But I will.
HK-55 The Loyal Bodyguard. - "Declaration: Meatbag defense protocols engaged."
  • Lament: I am programmed for your maximum protection, but hostile meatbags continually demand I reactivate my termination subroutines. Reassurance: I have no particular wish to harm the stupid meatbags. I was merely designed to be especially good at it. Affirmation: Anything that threatens you will wish it had never existed, master.

Extra Info

"You're able to recruit help and additional companions from an expanded cast, including companions who were previously exclusive to other classes," said Maclean. "Building that alliance involves going to all the planets in the galaxy and doing activities and missions that build faction. If you want to recruit a character who's favorable to the Mandalorians, you'll be able to do missions for them. You want to recruit a character who hates the Hutts, you'll do missions to build your alliance standing against them."
"I want to be really clear to our fans out there who are deep MMO fans. We're not forgetting about that part of the game either," said Hickman. "We just have a focus right now on the story. We're doing lots of stuff around flashpoints and operations and raid bosses and PvP and that stuff. But it's all about story this year."

New companions! I suspect it'll be one on Sith and one on republic, but still. Lana and Theron maybe? Jakarro and C2?

Posts about the leak will be deleted. I'm not sure if they will be banning people for talking about it as it was not released information but I don't want to take any chances.

holy crap i thought this was an entirely new star wars game, that was one fantastic freakin trailer!
The true test of a champion, is how long it takes to kill him.

"i believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another."

Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage. Rage against the dying of the light.
