If you're all as anxious as the Ten Ton Hammer staff for more information on BioWare's upcoming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic, then you know how exciting it is to see the first issue of their monthly web comic unveiled. Teaming up with Dark Horse, the Threat of Peace web comic chronicles the stories of the important characters in the Old Republic universe and helps to set the tone for what players will be experiencing when they first journey through SW:TOR. Issues will be released twice a month, so make sure you check back in to make sure you haven't missed anything new!

War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire has gripped the galaxy for decades, but the sacking of Coruscant and a subsequent peace treaty are changing everything. As the Republic scrambles to re-establish order, the Sith Empire moves quickly to consolidate power within its new dominion. Behind closed doors, however, individual Sith Lords engage in a quiet but deadly power struggle, and discord breaks out among the Jedi as they wrestle with the moral implications of the new galactic balance. During these chaotic days, the stories of several critical characters interweave as they pursue their passions, stand up for their convictions, and ultimately lead the galaxy back to the brink of a catastrophic conflict.
