If there's one kind of adventurer in the Star Wars galaxy people tend to love the most, aside from the Jedi and Sith, of course, are the smugglers; always popping in at the wrong time, sometimes even doing the right thing by accident. Well, the folks at Bioware have given us some new, enthralling information on their newest addition to the character classes for Star Wars: The Old Republic, the Smuggler!

This class is tailored perfectly for the player that wants to play outside the lines, avoiding affiliation when at all possible, and doing things their way. The smuggler never plays by the rules, and hates authority or control, travelling the Galaxy as he pleases with no master but the most likely augmented hyperdrive in his undoubtedly suped up starship. However, in the trying times of the Great Galactic War, most of these daring mavericks have sided with the Republic, seeing that with them, freedom is no so hard to come by, as it would be with the iron-fisted Lords of the Sith.

This announcement personally makes me re-think my former strategy of Jedi all the way, seeing as I've always liked the take-no-lip attitudes of the many notable smugglers throughout history. While this might have been a predictable development, the information on this brand new class should get you hyped up for more. Let's take a look at some of that information now.
