has announced a great new character for Star Wars: Knights
of the Old Republic. The Sith Trooper! While the majority of the
battalions now under Sith command are comprised of traitorous
Republic forces, they are far from hodge-podges of disorganized
troops. Only the strong are granted acceptance into the ranks of the
Sith army; those judged too weak to be of use are put to an ignoble
end. Traitors may be welcomed into the ranks, but a level of fear is
quickly established to make certain they are not so quick to change
sides again.
Functionally, the armor of the Sith trooper is just as protective as
most Republic equipment, but it has also been carefully designed to
inspire dread. Armor plating is presented more obviously, making it
appear more imposing, and the features of the wearer are completely
obscured to make them a faceless inhuman entity. A Sith trooper is
perceived as an extension of the Sith, and even in close combat an
opponent sees only the cold faceplate of the helmet, never the
soldier inside. Be sure to visit the Knights
of the Old Republic Official Site for more information and some
new screen shots!
