you guys know about the massai knuckler for us right? the blast one? and the heavy armor cert?
Be careful on what you do and do not believe based on info out there...Over in the Correspondent forum we were discussing some bad docs that might be floating out there that are giving false info...Looks to me like someone took what they saw in .tre files, made some guesses, and then compiled some of the more popular discussions into what could appear to some as CU docs...
The trick is, don't believe anything you read, hear or see until it is officially posted by a Dev...Even the hints I drop from time to time are not official until a Dev makes a post that confirms somthing...
And as for the current "Rumor of the Month" about Commandos getting their own armor...NOPE...Commandos are not getting their own new armor...and we are not getting any armor that is only for Commando use...If anyone has seen some docs that say that OR heard that from some where, guess what, you're a victim of the fake info floating out there...

The important question is what's Massassi. Anyone care to explain. Guessing its info in some of the extended universe info, but not sure.
Massassi
an alien race brough to Yavin 4 from a planet in the ancient Sith Empire, the Massassi were red-skinned, yellow-eyed humanoids with a primitive culture. The Massassi were later enslaved by Naga Sadow and transported to Yavin 4, where they were transformed by the Sith Lord's dark powers. They became a race of warriors, with grayish-green skin and large, lantern-like eyes. Over the centuries, in the wake of Naga Sadow's death, the altered Massassi became even more primitive in nature, and were comparatively timid and weak when Exar Kun came to Yavin 4 to seek out a Sith power object. Note that Dark Lords of the Sith portrays the Massassi as savage, Dark Side creatures descended from the Sith themseles. They were the offspring of Naga Sadow's alchemical magic. They were also red-skinned humanoids. This seems to have been a change of heart for Kevin Anderson, who worked on both sources. Kun later enslaved them, and made them build the temples that dotted the forest, as focusers of the power of The Force. They were exterminated when Kun, in an effort to defeat the Jedi Knights, consumed their spirits in order to trap his own spirit in the Obsidian Temple during the Great Sith War. Their bodies were destroyed by the Jedi Knights who tried to defeat Kun. Over the intervening millennia, the spirits of the Massassi remained trapped on Yavin 4, until they were released by Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila, with the help of the Golden Globe. They are termed "Massasi" in Lost City of the Jedi.
