This morning the Public Test Server, PTS, was brought down for Star Wars: The Old Republic to implement new changes to what was available on the PTS.  Patch notes can be found here.

The Cartel Market

Those changes included for the first time a look at the Cartel Market.  All characters on the PTS are set to free-to-play status so that purchases from the Cartel Market can be tested.  Users will be periodically given more Cartel Coins (the currency for the Cartel Market) to spend on the Market allowing them to make purchases. 

The Cartel Market contains cosmetic items, equipment items with stats, stat booster, unlocks for additional storage, operations and warzones unlocks, and titles.  There are non-combat pets in the Market and fun items like a Carbonite Chamber.

HK-51 Assassin Droid Companion

If you have fond memories of HK-47 in Star War: Knight of the Old Republic, then get ready to meet the new and improved assassin crew member HK-51.  HK-51 is available for testing as a companion character.  HK-51 is quested for and takes players all over the galaxy in a search to assemble HK-51 once again.  Players must be level 50 to begin their quest for HK-51.
