Hot on the heels of the recent Republic Trooper playable class video, the Star Wars: The Old Republic team just debuted a new cinematic trailer titled "Deceive." The video illustrates "The Sacking of Coruscant," a historic event in Star Wars mythology described by the developers as "the crowning achievement of the Sith Empire’s ambitious military strategy and the moment that changed the history of the Old Republic forever."

If you're a 'Wars fan and that doesn't give you the “tinglies,” this may be a good time to check your pulse. In addition to the new trailer video, the official SW:TOR site just launched a new Web tool called "HoloNet," a feature based on (and tied to) the in-game data network of the same name. According to developers, the HoloNet "contains detailed records on classes, planets, factions, and a timeline of Old Republic History." Specific details regarding how the Web tool will work in conjunction with the in-game HoloNet haven't been clarified yet. At this stage, it appears to provide fans with a more efficient means of accessing info about the above-mentioned mechanics throughout the game's continued development.

Check back with the HoloNet periodically as it develops, and remember that you can also count on ZAM to bring you the best news and more at our SW:TOR portal site!
