The Star Wars: The Old Republic Web site has received a wealth of updates, from in-depth information and screenshots of the planet Ord Mantell to the fourth issue of the Threat of Peace comic series.

Ord Mantell is a planet plagued with civil war between the Republic military and Separatist guerillas. It was settled 9,000 years ago by Corellian colonists, but now it's a haven for smugglers, pirates and bounty hunters. Even though the planet's allegiance is to the Republic, the local government is controlled by criminal syndicates.

You can find screenshots, concept art and a wallpaper of the Ord Mantell on the official Web site.

While there, you can check out the fourth issue of the Threat of Peace online comic, which "reveals the Sith Empire’s true motivation in the attack on Coruscant." If you've missed any issues, they're all still available to read on the game's Web site.
