Create new Mirialan knight > cancel first cutscene/dialogue > send master's datacron from another character > use master's datacron on new knight > get to Dark 5 alignment via diplomacy and flashpoints > return as Dark 5, level 75 character to Tython > watch that intro > start playing the story. Almost every dialogue becomes fun. Like, "This weapon will be a light in the darkness" says pale-greenish character with glowing orange eyes and veins popping of the face cause the darkness. It's even funnier when choosing the light side option in dialogues while looking like this.
how would you receive the datacron from another character being lvl 1? do you have access to the fleet as lvl 1? or is there a legacy bank on the starting planet of the character?
Mirialan and Chiss were the main reasons I looked to subscribed to begin with... I liked the visual aesthetic for both. Of course then I met Vette while playing the game and suddenly wanted a Twi'lek smuggler that I never wanted before... that only cemented my drive to go ahead and subscribe. Damn you SWOTOR, making likable versions of aliens that make me want to create one of my own.
This came out at the right time. I'm planning to finally dive into the Republic stories when 7.0 drops and I was planning on making a Female Mirialan Trooper Sniper.
Great video. A couple more deep dive tidbits. Mirial (the Mirialan homeworld) was aligned with the Sith Empire during the Jedi Civil War and returned to the Republic after Darth Malak's death. This could easily be a good headcannon reason for a Mirialan Sith Warrior or Imperial Agent. They could just be a descendant of Mirialans who stayed loyal to the Sith. Also we do have one piece of information about Mirial during the time of SWTOR. Apparently, there was a tectonic gap on Mirial that revealed an underground city with ineffably riches.
Hey!! Where is the info about them aligning with the empire from? and yes the tectonic thing is cool!! It made it into the written guide but not the video version.
@@Swtorista The first place I saw it was the old Old Republic Holonet. You can only get to it now with archived links but the full quote from there is: "The Mirialan homeworld-simply known as Mirial-is a cold, dry planet near the Hydian Way trade route. Though Mirial first joined the Republic several centuries ago, its’ lack of resources has allowed some measure of isolation even while giving the Mirialan the freedom to explore the larger galaxy. Exposure to other cultures has led to greater diversity among the Mirialan, and even some surprising inclinations from their society as a whole. During the Jedi Civil War, Mirial sided with Darth Malak against the Jedi Order. After Malak’s defeat, the planet was re-assimilated, and in the current conflict, the Mirialan have come down decidedly on the side of the Republic." I know that bit is still in the Wookiepedia entry in the Legends continuity. Swtor is running under Legends canon so it still should be good.
@@Swtorista I just checked. The archived link to the Old Republic Holonet article is listed in the sources on the Mirial Legends entry on Wookieepedia.
my main Jedi Consular is a Mirialan, Harlow Jetal, born to a noble family from their home world but was given up to the Jedi when his potential was made clear as a toddler, afterwards his story is the story of the game until the Shadow of Revan as all the characters worked to stop Revan and save the galaxy, the Jedi Knight became the Alliance Commander wile Harlow Jetal who went missing after the attack on Darth Marr's ship, he and the other main characters were lost in space for 3 years before been rescued by Theron Shan and help Lana Beniko save the Jedi Knight and rebuild the Jedi order
This looks to be a series of videos I will greatly enjoy! Very useful in putting together a really good backstory for our Mirialan characters. Good work putting this together!
My Mirialan is a wisecracking, gun-toting smuggler by the name of Barriss Khanak, who loves fast ships, quick credits, and beautiful women (particularly Lana Beniko) 😉
I would love to see one of these on Rattattaki, and specifically if there is a canon reason for the lack of hair other than "They didn't have Canonical Hair until after the game came out"
Do Rattataki even exist in the canon? I believe they were originally invented for Ventress, but then TCW discarded that story in favour of Dathomir Zabraks, which was... a bold decision.
I think the Mirialan actually had some sort of agreement with the Jedi so any Mirialan padawan would only be trained by a fellow Mirialan. Also love this kind of videos, make one for each race.
Yes! " For several hundred years, the Jedi Temple always had at least one Mirialan Jedi in residence, each training the next in the Jedi arts and in the history and culture of their homeworld."
I ended up unlocking Mirialans for my first playthrough as a sith inquisitor. I absolutely love how they actually acknowledge that I'm an alien in unfriendly lands. Thanks for covering them.
Mirialans have always been a great race to me, I currently have a dark 2 mirialan jedi shadow and a scoundrel mirialans, i feel like i dont see enough of them on the server i plau
This is really helpful, thanks. I much prefer watching a video like this to drudging through the wiki. My best friend got into Tor recently, so I plan to start playing, as well, and join her (since we can't see each other due to covid). I'm deciding between playing as a Mirialan or a Twi'lek.
Great video, id love to see more swtor lore being talked about. I think you could do well with a theory as well, for like future content, where the story will go, what happened to certain characters from storylines or even cut content and what was originaly meant to be in the game and such. Another thing Id love to see would be cover of the stories from the books, I think Malgus would be especially pertinent to do right now :)
Another Mirialan was Jana Lorso in KOTOR2:TSL. Though it was hard to tell on feeble graphics systems back in the day because her skin never looked green or even yellowish green, and the tattoos were minimal;)
Yes!! I got her included in the tattoo section at least :) Mr Swtorista saw her while I was editting and said "She's a mirialan? I didn't realize that!"
Awesome lore video :) I hope there is going to be more, at least for the playable species (and/or conditions... after all, cyborg in SWTOR is a human with cybernetics) and hopefully for more... :) Also, considering SWTOR is based in Star Wars Legends and its own continuity, would you also mention when the Legends lore gets different from the current Disney's/Lucasfilm's lore? :)
hoping to do more, we'll see! I decided not to fuss too much between disney/legends. The only part it gets tricky is Zabraks I think w/ Dathomir. And Ventress as a Rattataki/not. I decided to mostly consult older legends material for these vids since I was hoping they would be more inline w SWTOR being legends.
Mirialan Jedi Knight, Pureblood Sith Warrior and a Chiss Imperial Agent, my colour Brigade :p Curious how a mix of Sith and Mirialan would look like... Anyways x3 My Jedi's name is Santavi, a bit of a snarky gal sometimes, but she means well. Mostly.
Would you consider doing a video between now and the expansion where you give suggestions on what to do with all the various types of currency and tokens? Like cover which ones will be going away, which ones will be sticking around, and which ones we should spend soon before they lose their value or disappear?
Can you talk about the sith purebloods next? One thing i've noticed is that most of them doesn't seem to have quarrel with alien species, they do see them as underlings and even call them mud bloods buy they don't neglect aliens claim to power if they are worthy, maybe because they are alien like themselves, being mostly humans the ones who disregard and obstruct sith aliens the most, maybe out of self righteousness and jealousy for being the sith's predilected race in the chain of command.
The character my main is gonna be after the expansion is a Mirialan Sith Warrior/Sorceress. Essentially for her it's going to be looking for a way to use the dark side to do good in the galaxy. (The game will register this as light side but since she has very personal and emotional reasons for wanting to do this I feel like "Dark side but good" is a better way to describe her.) Gonna be interesting when she picks up Jaesa :p.
Way I handled the limited facial markings in TOR, I came up with the notion that the two mirialan I created were originally part of a street gang on Nar Shaddaa. The youngest, a boy named Artaen, was raised initially by his mother, who also raised a fellow mirialan, a girl named Zeleyl. Life was difficult on the streets yet they made do till a turf war claimed Artaen's mother after she sacrificed herself to save the children. So, in honour of her life, the pair had the woman's facial markings tattooed on them, not knowing their true meaning, since the streets weren't exactly a bastion of alien culture or knowledge. The markings of Artaen's late mother do eventually attract the attention of the Jedi, though, and after knowledge of Artaen's force sensitivity is known, an attempt is made to recruit him into the order. He doesn't warm up to the idea, though, especially when it means leaving his 'big sister' behind. Alas, while all this is happening, another turf war breaks out and Zeleyl is presumed dead among its victims. Artaen reluctantly joins the order and is completely unaware that his big sister survived and as a result is left on her lonesome with hate for the Jedi. She ends up becoming a bounty hunter with her sidekick, a battle droid Artaen ironically built for her, to save lives.
do we know if they 're planning on adding more customization options in 7.0? Not just for mirialans, but for other species as well (mainly togrutas, twi'leks and nautolans, there are not enough options...)
I have a Mirialan Commander Shepard... I mean FemTrooper. I don't like the male ones, as their lack of facial hair severly limits the customization and they can barely stand out from others.
question, im prefere player, how can i buy the mirial species in the legacy, if i can only have 1 million credits on my character??? i really want to make a darkside jedi knight that a mirilian that because of arrogance he lost his true path and became a powefull sith
@@Swtorista ty, i will buy cartel coins so i can buy the Mirialan, really love your videos, thanks to you i got into the game again and have been playing for 4 years now XD next step... flashpoints and operations :D
