Trooper Fashion Show for Custom Craftable Sets
Recently I completed my collection of Trooper wearable custom armor sets. It can be a bit daunting to figure out what style you want your trooper to take when shopping for gear with augment slots, so hopefully this visual guide will help. I didn’t do a straight on front and back point of view to help show how big the various backpacks were. For the Bounty Hunters out there you can wear some of these pieces but they will look different.
Electrum Onslaught
The Electrum Onslaught Set can be worn by Troopers, Jedi Knights, Bounty Hunters, Sith Warriors, and companions allowed to wear heavy armor and is restricted to level 50 characters.
Diatium Onslaught
The Diatium Onslaught Set can be worn by Troopers, Jedi Knights, Bounty Hunters, SithWarriors, and companions allowed to wear heavy armor and is restricted to level 47 characters and above.
Commando Elite
The Commando Elite Set can be worn by Troopers and Jedi Knights allowed to wear heavy armor and is restricted to level 43 characters and above.
Lacqerous Mesh
The Lacqerous Mesh Set can be worn by Troopers, Jedi Knights, Bounty Hunters, Sith Warriors, and companions allowed to wear heavy armor and is restricted to level 39 characters and above.
Phobium Onslaught
The Phobium Onslaught Set can be worn by Troopers, Jedi Knights, Bounty Hunters, Sith Warriors, and companions allowed to wear heavy armor and is restricted to level 35 characters and above.
Chanlon Onslaught
The Chanlon Onslaught Set can be worn by Troopers, Jedi Knights, Bounty Hunters, Sith Warriors, and companions allowed to wear heavy armor and is restricted to level 31 characters and above.
Outcast
The Outcast Set can be worn by Troopers and Jedi Knights allowed to wear heavy armor and is restricted to level 27 characters and above.
Tempered Lamanoid
The Tempered Laminoid Set can be worn by Troopers, Jedi Knights, Bounty Hunters, Sith Warriors, and companions allowed to wear heavy armor and is restricted to level 23 characters and above.
Commando
The Commando Set can be worn by Troopers and Jedi Knights allowed to wear heavy armor and is restricted to level 19 characters and above.
Republic Trooper
The Republic Trooper Set can be worn by Troopers and Jedi Knights allowed to wear heavy armor and is restricted to level 15 characters and above. This set does not have a helmet.
Hardened Plastifold
The Hardened Plastifold Set can be worn by Troopers and Jedi Knights allowed to wear heavy armor and is restricted to level 11 characters and above. This set does not have a helmet.
Some Notes
First I know that the Republic Trooper and Hardened Plastifold Sets look the same, but that is how they appear in the preview window.
Second and perhaps much more important is to mention that with unify colors on the character sheet you can mix and match helmets with chestguards and greaves to get the look you want with little worry about the colors clashing.
When I finish the collection of Smuggler Custom Sets I will do a similar post showcasing those.

A Word of Appreciation to Small Touches
One of the most compelling draws to the Star Wars Saga, and by extension the many novels and games made because of it, is the way the Universe has so many small touches. For pretty much any character you’ve seen in the movies, books, comics, or video games, their life has been flushed out and documented at Wookieepedia. One of the challenges that the Bioware team has had since announcing the title, has been finding ways to breath life into their extension of the Star Wars Galaxy by using a similar sense of depth in their game worlds. This post is a tip of my hat to probably an oft overlooked aspect of that process, the music and social scenery.
The Bands We Love
Performers have a special place in the original Star Wars trilogy whether it be Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes
Firgrin D'an and the Modal Nodes jam at the Mos Eisley Cantina
or the lovable Max Rebo Band at Jabba’s Palace
Image originally drawn by Dave Perillo
Artwork originally appeared here. Honestly of all Fan Arts I wish this was a real product.
The thing these two bands did besides provide us with amazing ear candy, was help establish that there were many stories beyond Luke, Leia and Han going on in the galaxy we all love. It provided a cool Jazz like vibe to the contemporary arts of the universe. That in and of it self in a subtle way built a depth to the universe. Everyone had their own gigs to worry about and Luke’s problems weren’t necessarily Max Rebo’s.
Bioware is Trying to Tap Into that Same Vibe
Whatever planet you go to, there is a cantina. Some are big and fancy like my favorite The Dealer’s Den on Coruscant, or small and intimate like the on on Ilum. But in many of them you see live performers.
But the visual isn’t the only trick they are using. They also have put a lot of effort to make those jukeboxes littered through out the galaxy play songs that evoke the sounds from the Original Trilogy. For example the sound of “Run Kessel Run” from SWTOR is an awful lot like the original Cantina Song we see in a New Hope.
And “Do The Holos Show Up on the Bill” reminds me a lot of Jedi Rocks performed by Max Rebo’s Band.
So next time you are strolling through a Cantina take a stop and listen to the sounds around you and appreciate the hard work that goes into making the world be more than pixels and DPS formulas.
And if Bioware is looking for additional social items for players, let my smuggler pick up a Kloo Horn, Slitherhorn, or a Fanfar to jam out with at the Cantina. Every smuggler needs a back up plan for retirement after all.

Scum and Villany Progress!
On Friday night our Joint Raiding program with The Snark Side ventured for the first time into the seedy underbelly of the new operations. In story mode we got through Thrasher before time expired on our raid.
Our raid consisted of Andosha, Biscotti, Boccior, Jounville, Njessi ,Noreek, Shattner, and Skiggity. We picked up on the mechanics very quickly. I will say though the Pirate Stimfiends are kinda crazy. Personally I’m loving the story for the operation and look forward to seeing how it ends.

A Thank You to the SWTOR Launch Devs
Yesterday the SWTOR community was upset with the layoffs of various Devs. I’ve been thinking a lot about those who were let go, and trying to make sense of it in terms of them as people, them as creators of the game we play, and the future of SWTOR as a whole. There will be plenty of time to dissect yesterday’s news, but I wanted to take a moment to extend the appreciate of our guild to everyone who has made this game possible. Your hours of hard work keep us entertained and energized. For those who’ve been let go by Bioware, know you are in our thoughts and we hope you have many bright days ahead.
Thank you.

The Church Is Moving from Juyo to Canderous Ordo
The Church is moving off Juyo and to Canderous Ordo with the Bioware megaserver push. This will be a chaotic time for sure, but we can always be found on our forums.
We look forward to getting everyone situated and secure, and bringing our message of drunken vengeance to a whole new server.
