With heavily modified blasters and lethal heat-seeking missiles, the Mercenary operates as a mobile heavy weapons platform. There’s no issue that additional firepower can’t fix, and anyone who understands the game knows better than to stand between a Mercenary and his target.

Adopted homeworld of the notorious Hutt Cartel, Hutta is a planet of semi-toxic swampland broken up by industrial facilities and urban centers. Hutt-aligned gangs control the civilized regions, forever warring over territory and resources. In the swamps, the native Evocii struggle against their Hutt rulers with limited success.
The Hutts are officially neutral in the conflict between Empire and Republic, and welcome visitors. Pirates, slavers and spice dealers are all common sights in Hutt palaces, while corporations often establish themselves on Hutta’s moon, Nar Shaddaa. Newly arriving shuttles on Hutta are directed to the town of Jiguuna.
During your class storyline, you will unlock five companions and one ship droid companion. Each companion has their own storyline that you can choose to share with them via conversations.

You will gain influence for the conversations as well as giving them gifts, and some you can even romance. To see more information about each specific companion, click on their image.
You will use your ship to travel the galaxy, and you can add some amenities like GTN, mailbox, cargo bays, and more via your Legacy perks.
The D5-Mantis is an alpha predator in the cold depths of space. Designed to meet the hefty demands of a much larger interdiction vessel, the Mantis was given a compact frame and built to fight–and nothing else. By employing three retractable weapon foils with independent power supplies, the Mantis is capable of safely deploying armament intended for larger class vessels, as well as reducing its profile significantly in order to be packed tightly into carrier ships with a surprising number of other Mantis crafts.
To mitigate what would otherwise be an extremely cramped interior, the engineers of the D5-Mantis make efficient use of vertical space and minimal bulkheads to provide more open areas and ensure ease of access for maintenance.
Although the D5-Mantis is considered a best-in-class vessel, spotting one in use is a relatively rare sight. The prohibitive cost of building a completely independent, long-range picket ship prevented the Mantis from seeing large-scale production.
