It's been a bit of a busier than normal week over at the official website of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Besides the release of the new trailer for the upcoming novel Decieved, we're invited to get to know the Bounty Hunter class...


"Get on the wrong side of the wrong people, and you?ll find yourself pursued by a Bounty Hunter, the most dangerous professionals in the galaxy. Bounty Hunters do what it takes to cash in on their marks, utilizing the best in weapons and defensive technology to bring in the target ? dead or alive. The technology your Bounty Hunter uses is up to you; choose to specialize in prototype shield and heavy armor technology to become an unstoppable Powertech, or spend those hard-earned credits on the most destructive arsenal available as a Mercenary.

There?s much more to the Bounty Hunter, and we?ve compiled all the details for you:

?Meet Mako, an orphaned computer slicing prodigy from Nar Shaddaa who can join your Bounty Hunter as a companion.
?Discover more about the Rattataki, a species with a violent history perfectly suited for Bounty Hunting.
?Tracking marks through the galaxy requires the perfect ship. The Kuat Drive Yards D5-Mantis Patrol Craft satisfies all the Bounty Hunters?s needs ? speed, efficiency, and unstoppable firepower.
?Check out the new Bounty Hunter class video to see a Bounty Hunter in action, and hope that you?re never on the receiving end of this dangerous professional."


In addition to the Bounty Hunter feature above, SWTOR.com fills us in with what we can expect from The Old Republic at PAX East (Boston, MA: March 11-13). There will be a couple world gameplay premieres (Flashpoint: Taral V and Tython, the Jedi Homeworld), presentations, a live Q&A and a community meet and greet. Click here for all the details.
