SWTOR: Introducing Alderaan

Star Wars: The Old Republic players will have a chance to explore the planet Alderaan and see it as it was before the Death Star reduced it to sandbox-sized chunks of space rock. Read on!

Renowned for its captivating beauty, Alderaan's verdant forests and snow-capped mountain ranges have always been a vision of utopia. Matching the landscape's serenity, Alderaan's political process has historically been smooth, though the crown has often been handed back and forth between several entrenched noble houses. At the height of the Great War, though, everything changed-Alderaan's timeless tranquility was shattered. Seeking to sap the Republic's morale, the Sith Empire invaded the planet with all its might, quickly overwhelming local defense forces and taking the royal family hostage. The reaction was equally swift and savage-Republic and Jedi forces tapped into previously unknown reserves of valor and rushed to Alderaan's rescue. The Republic's heroes obliterated the invaders and handed the Sith Empire a humiliating defeat.
