Eighth Star Wars Galaxies race revealed

LucasArts and Sony Online have unveiled the final playable race that will appear in the upcoming Star Wars Galaxies online role-playing game. The zabraks are the new race; they are similar to humans in physical abilities but have prominent vestigial horns on their heads. The developers plan to give the race a high level of willpower that will enable them to endure a great deal of physical pain. There are several sub-races of zabraks with different horn arrangements, and members of the race are known for their use of facial and body tattoos. Like the other playable races in the game, the zabraks will be able to pursue a number of different career paths.
