PC MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic is set to receive new content via Game Update 1.7 in the form of the “Relics of the Gree” event and the Galactic Reputation system.

Developed by BioWare, Star Wars: The Old Republic became free-to-play as of November 2012, and a press release has detailed what players can expect to find in the new content that comes with the latest update to the game.

Firstly, “Relics of the Gree” is a limited-time event that takes place from 12th to 26th February and which gives players the chance to “Discover the mysteries behind the Grey Secant, an ancient Gree starship that has suddenly appeared over Ilum’s Western Ice Shelf.” Rewards for players who aid the Gree race apparently include “powerful weapons and armor.”

Meanwhile, the new Galactic Reputation system “enables players to earn Reputation points by completing missions for factions such as the Gree, or for military divisions within the Republic and the Empire.” The system features six ranks for players to rise through: “Outsider”, “Newcomer”, “Friend”, “Hero”, “Champion”, and “Legend”. Also, Reputation points and ranks are “shared across all the characters within the same Legacy.”
