So the following (old) pieces of game text suggest that, in all likelihood, Jedi start on Tython and do quests relating to “the arrival of a Twi’lek pilgrim clan” while Sith start on Korriban and “in the deep tombs of the great Dark Lords of the past, potential Sith must face arduous tests to prove their worthiness”. Here’s the text in full:
Among the ancient Tythonian ruins, mysterious Force energies abound, and the legacy of a long forgotten darkness has re-emerged. With the arrival of a Twi’lek pilgrim clan determined to settle on Tython in violation of Galactic Republic law, delicate and dangerous trials have arisen for Jedi Padawans in training and for the Order itself.
In the vaulted halls of the Sith Academy on Korriban and in the deep tombs of the great Dark Lords of the past, potential Sith must face arduous tests to prove their worthiness. Even if they survive this deadly training, though, their greatest challenge lies in the cruel competition of their fellow acolytes, as each vies for the favor of their Masters.
But what about everyone else? I ponder if we will all start in the same place, too.
For example, if we are a Republic Soldier, would it make sense that we are stationed on Tython, too? Or if a Sith Soldier, why wouldn’t we be on Korriban?
The practicality is that the devs only have to design two “noob zones” that allow us to train and skill up, depending on our faction.
Of course, a third faction would really round things off, however, it would seem that until we’re told differently, this is a very clear-cut, black and white, us and them, Sith and Jedi kind of game.
So what do you think? Two factions, two noob zones? Or are you still hoping that non-Force users might end up somewhere else, like a Republic military academy for the soldiers, etc?
