The Knights of the Old Republic Official Site has announced another new character for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Surviving in the Lower City of Taris is no easy task, particularly for a young Twi'lek girl on her own. But Mission has not only survived in the hard world of the swoop gangs, she's thrived. Nobody knows the hidden alleys, backstreets and secret entrances in the Lower City like this former street urchin, and she's even been known to explore the creature-infested sewers of the Undercity itself.

Of course, such active curiosity is bound to create enemies, and there are some – particularly the Black Vulkar swoop gang – who would like to bring Mission's adventures to a permanent end. But despite the dangerous situations she constantly finds herself in, this spirited young Twi'lek always manages to find a way out. And if her quick reflexes, quick thinking and even quicker mouth can't save her, she always has one last card she can play: her eight foot-tall Zaalbar.

The odd pair have been inseparable ever since Zaalbar arrived on Taris, and despite the obvious contrasts between them, their friendship has benefited them both. Zaalbar knows that Mission will always come up with a plan to make sure they have food in their bellies and a safe place to stay. And Mission knows that whatever trouble her schemes might get them into, Big Z will always be there to watch her back.
