 You're walking along and you find some nice looking Mirialan in Jedi-looking robes. You strike up a conversation and find out that he's an orphan from Corellia. All right, nothing too unbelievable. Then he mentions that he was raised by Green Jedi to be a weapon meant to strike against the Sith armed with naught but a hydrospanner and three adegan eels. What the kriff? All backgrounds are going to be different, and usually the more creative you are, the better it is. However, there's some point where the line has to be drawn. Otherwise, what is to stop the Chiss adoptee from Alderaan to start hunting bounties with a tazer and some meat rolls? Or the Twi'lek smuggler selling deathsticks for the splanch transplant of their Hutt father? Where do you draw the line with believability in roleplay? What makes you go... "what the kriff?" Tell us below!

Hate it, love it, or mildly distrust it, the Galactic Republic has a few things undeniably right. Equal rights to all species, free travel in Republic hyperspace lanes, and the support of its citizens and soldiers are all paramount ideals which the Republic and its leaders try to hold dear in these trying times of the Empire's bristling coat and showing of teeth. Freedom of speech has always been something of a " hot topic" in Republic space, as planets like Alderaan believe in full freedom, never giving way in one's voice to placate the elected government. A world like Onderon, however, would be firmly rooted in respecting the monarchy, those who speak out against the leadership becoming imprisoned or covertly killed much like any world in the Sith Empire. While one could dwell for years on the difference in politics throughout the galaxy, the best opinion on the topic is not of an author or an educated specialist in xenopolitics and anthropology from some hoighty-toighty university. The opinion that matters is from the citizen. Of any world and any background. The opinion that matters is yours! Let's see what the HoloNet had to say!

The power of fine dining has brought the end to many horrors. Soldiers have thrown aside their arms to have a savory meal and a thirst quenching drink. Sith and Jedi suddenly find themselves pulling credit chits out of their robes instead of their lightsabers. Many a dinner party has been had in the past where treaties were signed, trade franchises created, or new governments who wish fair treatment to their constituents suddenly sprouted out of tyranny. Sonfax's Port Nesh Diner threatens to become one of these places as it sits upon the precipice of immortality. Originally a standard diner inside of a spaceport on the blue collar world of Corellia, it seems that the proprietor of the establishment has moved up in the galaxy since closing that first location only a few weeks ago. The new location on the relatively unknown, isolationist world of Voss comes with a few hang-ups. Diplomatic or trade passes to the planet are rare, but easily attainable if one does not mind the 180 basic standard day waiting period for travel. While it is unsure how the self-made Twi'lek man managed to get his hands on the lease to a Voss establishment, the only thing that matters is the food and how darn good it is!

Sonfax's Port Nesh Diner has a prestigious history of bringing joy to the masses; originally conceived only a few months ago when the Twi'lek owner and head chef purchased the lease on a commercial shop inside of one of Corellia's busiest spaceports. At first, the success was noticeable and grand, the progress matched only by the endless line of hot food and cold drinks shooting out of Sonfax's hands as he struggled to keep up with the orders of so many hungry, happy patrons. The self-made man of the hour, Sonfax, doesn't plan to end the legacy of his culinary expertise. While there was no closing statement, or any final moment where he looked back into the popular haunt and somberly shut off the lights there was...an air. An air of happiness, and of regularity. One where we knew the environment and we, the patrons, ultimately inhabited the world that this kind, happy Twi'lek man made for us all.

Hello my galactic dregs, you scum of the universe. Larrick Haldo here, as always, except when I'm not. After an incident involving a less than legal Rodian girl and a small chemical fire in my hotel room, I left Nar Shaddaa to find myself a new story. Since my Lesai guy in Coronet had just gotten a fresh shipment from Zebitrope IV, I decided to make like a bantha and illegally board a space shuttle headed for Corellia. (For you kids at home, this example only works with a really small Bantha and a very inebriated crew.)
When I landed, Mr. Lesai was waiting for me just outside the departures area. For those of you who aren't galactic narcotic aficionados, Lesai grants humanoids the ability to go without sleep as long as you've got some. And as a reporter who deems sleep for the weak, and also do to a completely rational fear that Ugnaughts will steal my hair if I ever do sleep, Lesai is an important tool in my journalistic toolkit. Anywho, lesson over. Back to the fun stuff.
So after being duped into Mr. Lesai's buy three get one free deal, he informed me of a diner opening right there in the spaceport. Turns out some fella managed to open a diner on the rather war torn world of Corellia. It was also at this moment I realized I may not have eaten in the past four days. With both of these facts now known to me, I quickly threw my per diem at Mr. Lesai and made my way to the Port Nesh Grand Opening.

Unfortunately, all good things must eventually come to an end. Worlds of The Old Republic is a series of articles based on the planets that we'll be able to visit in BioWare's upcoming game, detailing the planets' history and story, as well as a few interesting facts. This is the seventh and final edition of the series, covering the last three planets, saving some of the best for last. Coruscant and Corellia, majority of you should be familiar with, especially if you call yourself a Star Wars fan. The third and final planet featured in this article is Ord Mantell. Each planet is aligned with the Republic, but they're said to have suffered an impact from the Empire or criminal organisations in some way. Lets find out how.

Echelon asked me to talk to him about what we were doing here at SWTOR-RP. How could I refuse to talk about this site? We talked about the future of this site, and what role it will play in the overall scheme of the SWTOR community. So when you get a chance head over the YUFMELT and read the article. And while you're there, be sure to check out the other pieces of insight in to the SWTOR universe.
Thanks, Echelon!

The economy, government, and military of the Republic throughout Star Wars history has been graced with many leaders from one world in particular, and that world is Corellia. One of the most notable characters that originated from this planet is the reputable Han Solo, who had a major impact on the events that occurred during his lifetime, from the destruction of the first Death Star, to the Battle of Endor, all the way up to the Legacy of the Force series where he still continues to fight for the Republic. In The Old Republic, you will be now have the opportunity to take part in the planet's struggle to rebuild and maintain it's economic stability and infrastructure, as BioWare have announced as part of the latest Friday Feature that Corellia will be included in the game, which is due out in Spring of 2011.
The planet's surface in Coronet City is suffering from destruction, possibly as a result of an act of terrorism, or perhaps due to something much more dire. Corellia is an asset to the Republic, and they will fight to the bitter end to hold on to what's important to them, especially in times of struggle against the Sith Empire, following on from the controversial Treaty of Coruscant. Members of the Republic can expect to take part in the conflict against the unknown enemy of Coronet City.
With the announcement of Corellia in The Old Republic, check out the new HoloNet page, as well as the media section where you can view new screenshots and wallpaper of the new planet. Furthermore, a walkthrough video of Corellia is available for your viewing on the new HoloNet page.
