This week's Friday Update adds yet another planet to the roster of planets that will be featured in Star Wars: The Old Republic, bringing the new total to a whopping 11 planets.

The newest addition is the glacial world of Belsavis, a prison-world  housing some of the galaxy's most dangerous Sith Lords, Mandalorians and vicious aliens. A Republic world, the Empire has recently discovered Belsavis'  existence and seeks to liberate its allies from Republic imprisonment.

In addition to the new planet, BioWare has also announced a new webcomic entitled "Blood of the Empire." BioWare has teamed up with Dark Horse comics once again to publish this new webcomic series, which will feature a new perspective and a strong character-driven story written by BioWare's Senior Writer Alexander Freed.
