The Star Wars saga has had an interesting cast of characters often working with those whose personal beliefs are scarcely different than the other party in spite of a mutual goal. Jedi have acted as commanders in The Old Republic to troopers who were openly distrustful or skeptical of the mystical space monks and their abilities in combat. Sith and Imperials, as well, often work together in tentative partnership, the latter party usually afraid of the awesome power of a Sith Lord. As our characters move through the relived aggression between Republic and Empire, many characters who have never worked with the military will now have to do so. Flighty Smugglers or over-aggressive Bounty Hunters may have to operate with those of strict authority and firmly held governmental beliefs, often along with Force users who are just the 'odd one out' as any civilian is. This Reporter's question is this: Will your character work with the military? Be they civilian, ex-military, Sith, or Jedi, there is always the chance that the armed forces may need your character's skill. Will they lend their aid begrudgingly and follow orders or press the issue and become a leader amongst those below their social station? Tell us in the comments!

 Every character of every class faces a trial of some sorts. Some of them, like Jedi and Sith, have rather obvious trials set before them as a prerequisite to advancing amongst their peers while others like the Imperial Agent or the Trooper face their own set of hurdles that are unique to them in their individual organizations. While the story that The Old Republic has put forth helps us identify what these hurdles may have been, not all of us 'pick up' the character where the story starts. Many roleplay a Padawan still in learning, or even those unaffiliated with an organization like Imperial Intelligence or the Republic Special Forces. What trials has your character gone through? Whatever you may belong to, whomever your character may truly be, they had to go through some intense situations to be where they are now. They could've been in an intense covert operation, the Jedi Trials, or even just figuring out how to tie their shoelaces. Tell us in the comments!

For a regular soldier with no real outstanding qualities but good instincts, Captain Harron Tavus really did beat the system of Force Sensitives hogging the spotlight. Sure, he didn't have as much trailer screen time as Jace Malcom, nor is he as cool as the name taking and butt-kicking Theron Shan, but he did make a name for himself – one any Trooper will know intimately in The Old Republic. Not much is known about Harron Tavus' early life, but during the beginnings of the Trooper storyline on Ord Mantell, he informs the player that he was with Havoc squad since he was barely a man. Harron saw nearly three decades of direct conflict, all the way from the Battle of Alderaan, Sacking of Coruscant, and various special forces conflicts in Imperial space by the orders of General Garza. He surely didn't adhere to military doctrine. As seen in Threat of Peace, he had an odd relationship with Satele Shan after he helped rescue her and a flourishing friendship with Jedi Master Orgus Din, even going so far as to help him in diplomatic missions and offensives, like the Sith invasion of the Minos Cluster.
