People with more time on their hands than most have once again been sifting through game code, this time that of Star Wars: The Old Republic, in order to find some clues as to what we may expect in future updates.

The efforts weren’t in vain either; the guys over at TORhead.com have found substantial hints at what’s coming up in future patches. If you’re worried about spoilers, you might want to turn back here.

In patch 1.2, a new operation called Explosive Conflict is coming, as well as new daily quests that’ll return level 50 players back to Corellia. The quest titles, “Fall of Corellia” for Imperials and “Corellia Rising” for the Republic, suggest who the winners of that fight’s going to be.

Patch 1.3 will likely bring a new companion available to all players, HK-51. He’ll follow you into battle and make quotable quotes such as: “Contemplation: Our recent forays have been stimulating, master. You appear to have an endless supply of organic troublemakers to delete. I find this pleasing.”

Also on the way in 1.3 are a new operation called Terror from Beyond, a flashpoint called Titans of Industry and a series of Belsavis Dailies where you have to handle some imprisoned Dread Masters.

Patch 1.4 lists a new planet called Varl, where apparently the Hutts and the Dread Masters will be forming an alliance.

Not much out yet on patch 1.5, although there is mention of another operation pitting you against the Dread Masters.

The details may change or be supplemented, so check out TORhead for regular updates.
