Each planet has a different faction associated with it, and may factor into the galactic storyline Bioware is cooking up.
There are over 15 planets in the Old Republic, ranging from the dust covered classic Tatooine to the commercial bustling starport of Correlia. Star Wars The Old Republic’s planets are immense, varied and truly epic. But what would an epic story be without an epic setting? Each player character will have their own unique story to follow, complete with fully voiced over cutscenes and dynamic changes based on player choices throughout the game. The Old Republic is taking a page from The Lord of the Rings Online, and developing its gameplay with a focus on epic character storytelling. Star Wars The Old Republic is the new Star Wars MMO by Bioware, with a release date scheduled for sometime in the fall of 2011.
