Bioware has blown the lid off of coverage of Star Wars: The Old Republic and MMORPG.com's Carolyn Koh takes a look at the Imperial Agent and has taken some great in-game screenshots to show the class off. Read on and then weigh in with your thoughts in the comments.

Ah Bioware, where would we be without story? That’s the first thing I want to say. The opening movie of Star Wars: The Old Republic pretty much kicked ass. I have had the opportunity over the past couple years, to play quite a bit of the starting story of both Imperial and Empire at various media events and each time, I’ve not wanted to stop. I love the story aspect of MMOs (those which have it) and will putz around to smell the roses or in this case, kill a sniveling excuse for a human or two. I decided for my time with the press beta on SWTOR to play the Imperial Agent because that was a faction/class combination I had not played before. I was an assassin, an operative – the secret weapon of the Empire! Uhh… that might be pushing it. I was a total noob at how this class worked. But it would prove to be fun.
