It’s more than three thousand years old, but Republic Intelligence have pieced together this video out of faint transmissions that were once thought to be just background radiation. Many Bothans died to bring this to you. So watch it. And do not be deceived.
Just a quick heads up about the following fan art contest by Sony Online Entertainment. Contest submissions close this Monday, so you’ll have to hurry if you want a chance for your painting to be included in the game schematics.
It is with great pleasure that we announce that First Strike has made it into the Top 100 Mods of 2008 here at ModDB. Now the second stage of the Mod of the Year awards commences, and the voters must narrow the selection down to the top 5.
Once more we ask the faithful to rise up. Head over to ModDB’s Mod of the Year website to get your votes in, and let’s see if we can’t reach that final stage. If you enjoy First Strike, show your appreciation by casting your vote today. Remember, you do have several votes to use in this round, so be sure to vote for the other mods you enjoy as well.
We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank the community and all those who already voted for helping us make it to the top 100. It really is you guys, the members of our community that make First Strike what it is. We couldn’t do it without you. To show our appreciation, we have this lovely wallpaper made by FSDev| RedMonkey that showcases one of the new vehicles in First Strike v1.4, the T-16 Skyhopper:
| 1024×768 | 1280×800 | 1280×960 | 1680×1050 | 1920×1440 |
So thanks for voting, thanks for playing, and thank you for your continuing support of First Strike. Now get out there and vote!

Star Wars: The Old Republic is looking very good, as a newly released documentary shows. Check out the in-game footage and listen to some of the philosophy that went into the game’s development. It is the fabled KOTOR successor, to be sure, and a MMORPG in a sense. However, it is taking a little departure from the other run-of-the-mill competitors out there, for better or worse. I can’t wait to test this one out for myself.

Note: mark your calendars for tomorrow (Friday, December 12) to visit the official website of Star Wars: The Old Republic and catch exclusive in-game footage. The anticipated online game is set in the KOTOR timeline.
