Star Wars The Old Republic Patch 1.6 Launched

BioWare and LucasArts have launched Game Update 1.6: Ancient Hypergate, a new Star Wars: The Old Republic content that adds The Ancient Hypergate Warzone which lets you test your strength with a brand new PvP game mechanic. In this Warzone, Republic and Empire forces are locked in a brutal conflict to control two energy pylons. You must fight to take control of these powerful pylons and kill any foes in your way to discharge a massive blast of energy through your faction’s gate.

The first team to open their portal will unleash deadly reinforcements to wipe out enemy players.
With this update, Heroic Space Missions will challenge your galactic piloting skills. Both Republic and Empire classes have six new repeatable Level 50 Heroic Space Missions. These updated Space Missions are the most intense Space Missions to date and players who are up to the challenge can earn Black Hole Commendations to spend on ship upgrades, high level gear, and more.
