Narrative Director, Ashley Ruhl, and Senior Environment Artist, Robby Lamb introduce Ruhnuk, a never before seen planet.

Ruhnuk is a dry, arid, and plateau-based planet hidden from everyone due to its unique nebula. http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1590428054152773633/pu/img/rNWOQWr3FUHssD1k.jpg

This story update is called “Showdown on Ruhnuk” and involves Heta Kol and her faction of Mandalorians. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FhJWaJ1XgAI9Ed4.jpg

Here’s a teaser scene of the beginning of "Showdown on Ruhnuk". http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1590428838412050433/pu/img/JlpOajURobJRpFcW.jpg

Senior Game Writer, Jay Watamaniuk, introduces the cast of characters players will meet in Game Update 7.2 which includes Bask Sunn, Ri’kan Kateen, Akaavi Spar, and Torian Cadera. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FhJWzooWAAcV4t6.jpg

Ruhnuk will have its own Daily Area! Lead Writer, Caitlin Sullivan Kelly, goes over its story, characters players will met, and a new reputation track and its rewards.

Meet Lane Vizla, a distant cousin of Shae Vizla. She’s not afraid to tell anyone what’s on her mind. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FhJYS69XEAAu1MG.jpg

Kur Ha’rangir is Lane Vizla’s rival. He comes from Clan Ha’rangir, a very old and rich group of Mandalorians. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FhJYhX8WIAIZi0Q.jpg

With this new planet, we’re also bringing a new Reputation Track named Mandalorian Trat’ade on Ruhnuk, two new Legacy titles in the Mando’a language, and character titles!

Amongst the Reputation Track Rewards, players can obtain new plants and vehicles decos, and the new Wetlands Mudhorn Mount. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FhJY3XfWYAAu_7n.jpg

In the Ruhnuk Daily Missions, players will have the option to choose between different kinds of Missions with new Planetary Achievements or new Weekly World Boss!

They can also complete Mando Relic Missions to unlock buffs that can be used on Ruhnuk.

Lead Game Producer, Eric Musco, and Community Manager, Jackie Ko are now talking about changes that are coming to PvP.

The main goals of these changes are to increase the participation and quality of PvP matches and support rewarding incentives that encourage positive behavior.

All PvP is now two queues, either 4v4 or 8v8. There will be no distinction between Unranked and Ranked modes.

By completing PvP content, players will receive PvP points and see progression earned on a new PvP Reward Track.

Non-subscribers will no longer have any restrictions on the number of matches they can play. However, Subscribers will earn points at a quicker rate.

The new PvP Reward Track has a variety of rewards including PvP Token, new Titles, Stronghold decos, and four armor sets. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FhJceAbWQAEm7IE.jpg

Here is a sneak peek of the armor sets that can be found on the PvP Seasons Vendor and the PvP Reward Track. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FhJcpHiXkAEl9Qx.jpg
