:: INTRODUCTION     The Old Republic was the Republic of legend, greater than distance or time. Before a cruel and ruthless Empire supplanted it, the Old Republic was the democratic union that governed a galaxy for thousands of years.

The vessel was too small to carry a hyperdrive, and instead relied on a separate booster craft for transit through hyperspace. :: SIGHT BEYOND SIGHT A Tech 4 upgrade in the Jedi Temple, enables Jedi to gain pre-cognitive sight and pass this knowledge onto Troopers, Jedi & the Jedi Star fighter, increasing their line of sight to +6     :: KAMINOAN CLONES War Centre upgrade gives Cloning Technology a boost, so you can make Clone Troopers 50% faster.
