Bioware has given us some goodies for the weekend. Starting off, we get to discover Ord Mantell, a planet that is in deep political conflict and seems like there are a lot of battles going on between The Republic and The Separatists that occupy the planet.
The planet was deserted by the Corellian Military after their fleet was sold off by a corrupt Admiral and then became a haven for smugglers, pirates, and bounty hunters. Corrupted government officials decided to stay loyal to the Republic, which has lead to numerous battles on Ord Mantell. Sounds like a seedy place to me -- just the place to go if you're looking for something, or someone, to fight...
You can catch up on Ord Mantell's detailed history
here. Along with a bit of background on Ord Mantell, there are a few new screenshots, as well as concept art of The Republic Base and The Separatists Stronghold. The new art looks really good.
You can see the new Screenshots and Concept Art in our Media section.
Last but not least, we get a new wallpaper featuring The Republic Base to dress up our desktops, so be sure to check it out. Bioware gives us enough tidbits to keep us on edge till the next bite they give us!
Now head on over to our Forums to Discuss Ord Mantell.
Peace and Good Gaming.
