The newest class to SWtoR is revealed: Imperial Agent

Star Wars: The Old Republic – BioWare’s MMO Star Wars project – revealed the newest class last week: the Imperial Agent.  The Imperial Agent is the sixth class to be revealed for the Star Wars MMO, and will be joining the ranks of Bounty Hunter, and Sith Warrior on the Empire side.

Sean Dahlberg gave an official announcement on the SWtoR forums:

“The Imperial Agent is heavily inspired by several classic Star Wars characters such as Zam Wessel and Grand Moff Tarkin. Imperial Agents work behind the scenes to get the work of the Empire done. Specializing in high-tech gear, the Imperial Agent always has the right tools at the right time. They use abilities of subversion and subterfuge to infiltrate and assassinate enemies of the Sith Empire with deadly efficiency. Players who choose to be Imperial Agents in The Old Republic (TOR) will see the underbelly of the Empire in a whole new light.”

We speculate that the Imperial Agent will be a light armor wearing class, which can deal heavy damage, but can take a lot of damage too.  BioWare has already shown it’s creativity with The Old Republic, like the Smuggler’s class cover system, and we’re sure to see some creative mechanics in the Imperial Agent’s repertoire. 

Stay tuned to MMOFury as we continue to bring you details on Star Wars the Old Republic.
