BioWare shares a gameplay video and information on the Agent's companion, starship and advanced classes.

It's time for BioWare's regular Friday update on the Star Wars: The Old Republic site, and this one's pretty massive. BioWare has given us all sorts of information on the Imperial Agent class, including a new class gameplay video! Be sure to check it out to see the Agent in action.

The update gives a little more detail on the Agent's advanced classes: the Sniper lets you fight from a distance, while the Operative is all about stealth and combat medicine. Agents will also have access to an X-70B Phantom-Class Prototype starship and a deadly Rattataki companion named Kaliyo Djannis.

If you'd like to play an alien Imperial Agent, you'll want to head over to the new Chiss Inhabitants page for information on the species. The Agent in the gameplay video is a Chiss, which may inspire some players to pick this blue-skinned humanoid.
