BioWare has revealed the next class for forthcoming MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic - the Imperial Agent.

The Imperial Agent is the sixth class announced for the game, and the third for the Empire, joining Bounty Hunters and Sith Warriors. The other three classes currently known are the Troopers, Smugglers, and Jedi Knights, which will be fighting on the Republic side.

We're told that the Imperial Agent will let players explore "the underbelly of the Empire" and will be using high-tech gear to help them with their infiltration and assassination. Let the speculation begin.

This leaves two unannounced classes, and we have a suspicion there'll be news on them before too long. For now, though, check out the first screenshots of the Imperial Agent below.

10 points for Valas! Should we refer to you only as The Seer from now on?

Naaah.. That would mean that I knew things without having any knowledge about it. Would be kinda nice to have that ability though, the latest lottery jackpot is quite high. ;) But this, just look at the evidence, try to see if there is a pattern and then make a deductive analysis. 9/10 times, you'll hit the mark then. Watch the next Lore update for hints towards the next class, which will be Republic based again, if they keep to their current pattern.
