Hey, it's me!

Bioware have officially announced the coolest of all the republic classes; the Smuggler. (Of course!)

These guys will essentially be the rogues of the Old Republic, and it seems like the general theme of this class is that they are light on their feet and second to none with a pistol.

Although the press release doesn’t mention it, it has also been rumoured that they can do the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, which is a pretty mean feat for anyone.

The Troopers are the elite of the Galactic Republic’s military, trained to fight side-by-side with the Jedi to one day take on the Sith; these guys aren’t to be messed with.

This is the first class officially announced for the Galactic Republic and it gives a really positive impression of the things to come from SWTOR.

One thing that I originally thought would make or break this game was going to be how Bioware dealt with the classes that cant use the force, and it seems they have done this by giving Troopers some interesting ranged abilities. Among these are the basic Rifle, a Grenade Launcher and most notably Sitcky bombs! (“Bet you can’t stick ‘em!”)

Whether these abilities are going to bring enough balance to a class that can’t shoot electricity out of their hands, or force-push you off a cliff is yet to be seen, but it’s positive so far.
