"The Imperial Agent is heavily inspired by several classic Star Wars characters such as Zam Wesell and Grand Moff Tarkin. Imperial Agents work behind the scenes to get the work of the Empire done," wrote BioWare's Sean Dahlberg.

"Specializing in high-tech gear, the Imperial Agent always has the right tools at the right time. They use abilities of subversion and subterfuge to infiltrate and assassinate enemies of the Sith Empire with deadly efficiency. Players who choose to be Imperial Agents in The Old Republic will see the underbelly of the Empire in a whole new light."
