Star Wars: The Old Republic - Imperial Agent and Bounty Hunter

Imperial Agent:

As part of Imperial Intelligence, Imperial Agents are the embodiment of secrecy and discretion. They are suave, charming, seductive, and deadly. Other than the Sith themselves, they are the Empire’s best. They work behind the scenes to manipulate events that assure their desired outcomes are realized. In gameplay terms, Imperial Agents are the only class (aside from the Smuggler) that can take advantage of cover. They can specialize in healing or DPS.


Operative:

Operatives are trained to adapt to any situation at any time. They are masters as stealthily eliminating the Empire’s enemies and escaping without leaving the slightest trace. When in group situations, Operatives can use their advanced technology to keep their colleagues alive and in the fight.


Sniper:

Snipers are indomitably powerful in long range combat. With their advanced training and weaponry, they can hit their targets from great distances with deadly accuracy. If there are any weaknesses in the enemy’s defense or technique, the Sniper is always in the perfect position to exploit that weakness.


Starship: X-70B Phantom

Built specifically for the best Imperial Agents, the X-70B Phantom is an experimental ship years ahead of its time. By far the sleekest ship available to any class, its outer plating is radar resistant. Its interior is equally slick and advanced, complete with a medical bay, prototype drive core, and navigation system. The personal quarters feel both cold and inviting at the same time, which is strange and intriguing.


Known Companion: Kaliyo Djannis

Kaliyo Djannis is an enigma with no traceable past. All that is known for certain is that the Rattataki holds close ties to a violent anarchist organization. Other than that, she is an assassin for hire to anyone with enough credits. Both violent and charming, Kaliyo Djannis is the perfect puzzle for an Imperial Agent to solve.

Bounty Hunter:

If you are on the Empire’s black list, you have not only the Sith to fear, but also their Bounty Hunters. These hired guns are among the most dangerous people in the galaxy, and will do anything if the price is right. They wear heavy armor and carry not only blasters, but rockets, flamethrowers, restraining cords, stun bolts, and a jetpack just to name a few things. They can specialize in tanking or DPS.


Powertech:

Powertechs seek out and use the heaviest experimental armors available. They are usually hired to protect a group of weaker beings by standing between them and their enemies and taking damage for them. To compensate for being at such close range with the enemy, Powertechs use flamethrowers to weaken anyone around them and maintain a constant stream of damage.

Mercenary:

Mercenaries believe you can never have enough firepower, and thus sacrifice the use of heavy armor for the ability to dual wield highly advanced modded blasters and carry the most deadly explosives available. If you see a Mercenary coming your way and you are not his intended target, you may want to move if you value your life.



Starship: D5-Mantis

By far the bulkiest ship available to any class, the Kuat Drive Yards D5-Mantis is also the most powerful. Its three retractable weapon foils all utilize independent power supplies, and thus can use weapons intended for higher class ship types. Its interior appears very bare-bones, but further observation shows the ship’s powerful capabilities and is very practical. Even the living quarters are very minimalistic. Bounty Hunters are not interested in comfort or luxury when on their ship. All they care about is getting the job done.


Known Companion: Mako

Mako was a Nar Shaddaa orphan with a particular affinity for all things computerized. At age seven, she had learned every known programing language, and by age eight had taken all of the funds from a corrupt orphanage intent on selling her into slavery. After that, she joined some of the Nar Shaddaa slicing gangs. Seven years later, she was found half-dead by a Bounty Hunter named Braden, who happened to need a tech specialist. He saved her and she soon grew to love the Bounty Hunter culture, as she felt like she had finally found a family; a place where she belonged.
