Star Wars: The Old Republic is a MMORPG videogame
published by LucasArts and is set during
The
Old Republic era. To accompany it, both LucasBooks and
Dark
Horse Comics released original story tie-in material.
LucasBooks
published tie-in novels to accompany the videogame: Fatal
Alliance, Deceived, Revan
and Annihilation.
While Dark Horse Comics published three comic series:
Threat
of Peace, Blood
of the Empire and The
Lost Suns. The stories
