The Sacking of
Coruscant. It was the crowning achievement of the Sith Empire’s
ambitious military strategy and the moment that changed the history
of the Old Republic forever. You may have read about it before, but
our first cinematic trailer captures this event with breathtaking
action and beautiful detail.
Republic leaders
have traveled to Alderaan to engage in promised peace talks with
the Sith Empire. The most powerful Jedi have accompanied them to
safeguard against an Imperial deception. The Empire’s real motive,
however, was simply to lure the Republic’s strongest defenders away
from Coruscant and set the stage for an audacious attack. Under the
command of Lord Angral, the Sith fleet approaches the Republic’s
capital planet for the first time in centuries. In advance of the
fleet, the strongest Sith Warriors have flown a stolen Republic
ship into Coruscant’s orbit. Their mission is critical – to destroy
the planet’s defense grid mainframe hidden in the heart of the Jedi
Temple.
