Bioware has revealed another exciting new planet in their upcoming Star Wars MMO, "Star Wars: The Old Republic". According to info released on the official SW:TOR website's Holonet section, Belsavis holds a long-forgotten secret prison called "the Tomb", which houses many of the worst criminals, Sith Lords and Mandalorians to ever draw breath.

From the SW:TOR site:

"Fifty years ago, while investigating the planet’s tropical rifts that seemed to defy the ice shelves in completely unnatural ways, Republic scientists stumbled upon an ancient prison constructed by the Rakatan Empire. Behind the force fields and ultra hard metals were the most terrifying prisoners in the galaxy. Republic efforts to explore and secure the dilapidated network of vaults were impeded by ferocious alien species, and nearly unstoppable droids."

The site also has a nice little video which offers a peek into Belsavis' terrain. Head over to check it out.
