MMMMM… It’s E3 week and that means all of this year’s hotly anticipated games are being pimped across the internets like a $5 hooker fresh from the free clinic. Not to be out done by lesser titles there’s a spiffy new cinematic trailer for Bioware’s upcoming MMORPG, Star War The Old Republic. Produced by Blur Studio, the same company that developed the Dragon Age: Sacred Ashes trailer, this trailer depicts an epic forest battle between Republic Forces and the Sith army lead by Darth Maglus.

The Battle of Alderaan. The Republic’s gravest hour. Recently promoted to Darth, Malgus launches the first of many surprise attacks that would become his trademark during the Great War, perfectly timing the assault with a feint that pulls the Republic fleet light-years away. Thousands of assault droids and hundreds of Sith set the heart of the Republic ablaze, and Alderaan’s few defenders are swept away with ease.

Unknown to Darth Malgus, small groups of Republic Troopers are stationed on Alderaan, some recovering from wounds, others are awaiting orders. As these brave soldiers take to the forests and mountains to fight a guerilla campaign against Malgus’s forces, the Republic fleet rushes back to repel the invasion. With time running out and Alderaan’s capitol threatened, it falls to Havoc Squad, the elite Republic Special Forces unit, to coordinate one last desperate stand against Malgus’ vastly superior numbers.
