It looks like the skin tones from the Chiss customization pack are now unlocked for additional species. I have two "extra" skin tones for Cathar, Twi'lek, Togruta, and Nautolan. #swtor

my grocery store has a massive trade deficit with me. I buy from them every week and they never buy anything from me. in order to correct this injustice, I’m going to self-impose a sales tax on groceries so that I can’t buy as many.
