In keeping tabs with BioWare and Lucasfilm, they duo have recently released another climatic chapter in the storyline of Star Wars: The Old Republic – Knights of the Fallen Empire. All active Star Wars: The Old Republic subscribers can now play through The Battle of Odessen and confront Arcann as well as his powerful fleet in a full-scale assault. In addition to new chapter content, the update also introduces new gameplay experiences:

• New Battler Cartel Market Pack: Inspired by the climactic new chapter, this pack contains a variety of new items which may include never-before-seen gear, like the Ruthless Scion Armor and ISO Droid Companion.
• New Guss Companion Alliance Mission: Recruit the wily Mon Calamari scoundrel, Guss Tuno, as your Companion. When the Alliance receives a lead on the identity of a potential new recruit, the Outlander’s search unveils the most unlikely Jedi candidate — serving as apprentice under a man of questionable character.
