The latest Fan Friday content has been posted over on the official TOR site! This week Sean reveals a new section for Fan Friday called "Developer Corner" dedicated to giving you a sneak peek of some of the game content in production:

Welcome to the new Developer Corner section of the Fan Friday news article. This area is reserved to give the community a sneak peek of some cool work-in-progress assets (concept art, animations, 3-d renders, etc.) from the development team.

This week, we’d like to share an environmental visual effect from the planet of Balmorra. This animation shows the inner base in Sobrikill Valley where the townspeople work in the military base under the watchful eyes of Imperial troopers. The Empire added the shield below to protect themselves from Republic bombardment.

Sean also brings word that Threat of Peace, issue #24 has been published:

The twenty-fourth issue of Threat of Peace drops us right back into the action as Jedi Knight Satele Shan and Master Dar’Nala press their attack against Lord Baras. Satele is given pause, however, when Baras reveals the truth—that Master Dar’Nala was responsible for the recent violent attempts to undermine the peace treaty. As Satele considers the implications, Baras makes the bold attempt he’s been planning—now that Satele sees the true weakness of the Jedi, Baras urges her to join the Sith...

Star Wars: The Old Republic, Threat of Peace is being developed as a collaborative venture between BioWare, LucasArts, and Dark Horse Comics. Written in conjunction with the BioWare writing team working on Star Wars: The Old Republic and produced by the comic experts at Dark Horse, the comic will offer readers a dramatic introduction to the Old Republic time period and many of the characters who appear in the game. Issues of the comic are released twice a month.
