The fourteenth issue of Threat of Peace⢠is full of intrigue and excitement. Having just escaped from the Imperial transport, the Bounty Hunter Braden travels to Nar Shaddaa to make a deal with the crime lord Nok Drayen.

SWTOR-Station.com have a small preview of Star Wars: The Old Republic (in German) describing some of the things they heard at Star Wars: The Old Republic demo at GamesCom.
