The latest Fan Friday content has been posted on the official Old Republic site! This week Sean presents the TOR community with the twenty-sixth issue of Threat of Peace as well as unveiling the latest planet's Taris HoloNet:

Once home to a thriving civilization, Taris was razed by the Sith Lord Darth Malak 300 years ago during the Jedi Civil War. As a symbol of hope, redemption, and defiance, the Republic has begun an unlikely effort to re-colonize Taris. To do so, they will have to deal with the toxic soil, dangerous pirates, and ferocious rakghouls – the only survivors of the Sith bombardment. Determined to overcome the challenges, Republic and Jedi leaders are moving forward with the effort. However, Imperial intelligence has other plans…

Be sure to check out our full Taris coverage.

The twenty-sixth issue of Threat of Peace delivers the final moments of the battle between the Sith and the Jedi in Dantooine's crystal caves. The death of Master Dar’Nala restores the prospects for peace and Jedi Knight Satele Shan refused to continue the fight. As the Republic heroes guardedly depart the crystal caves, Lord Baras offers one final opportunity to Satele and a chilling prediction for the future.

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.
