The Imperial Agent has been revealed as the sixth class for Star Wars: The Old Republic at a recent European press event. Today, the new class has been officially confirmed on the Star Wars: The Old Republic forums, with its HoloNet entry to be published next week.

In addition to today's confirmation, IncGamers has the very first set of screenshots of the Imperial Agent, which you can view here.

Below you'll find the official description of the Imperial Agent  by Star Wars: The Old Republic Community Manager Sean Dahlberg:

The Imperial Agent is heavily inspired by several classic Star Wars characters such as Zam Wessel and Grand Moff Tarkin. Imperial Agents work behind the scenes to get the work of the Empire done. Specializing in high-tech gear, the Imperial Agent always has the right tools at the right time. They use abilities of subversion and subterfuge to infiltrate and assassinate enemies of the Sith Empire with deadly efficiency. Players who choose to be Imperial Agents in The Old Republic (TOR) will see the underbelly of the Empire in a whole new light.

This leaves two more classes to be unveiled. What do you think they will be? And what do you think of the Imperial Agent? Let us know in the comments below!
