After two amazing SWTOR beta weekends (11-13 and 25-28 November), I leapt back into SWTOR early access almost one full week (14 December) before the official launch date (20 December), and brought back my bad-ass female cyborg character, Punktrooper Motoko Mandara, based on the most-famous cyberpunk chick in anime history: <a target=new href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Motoko_Kusanagi\"><u>Major Motoko Kusanagi<\/u><\/a>, the elite anti-terrorist commander in &#8220;Ghost in the Shell&#8221;, &#8220;Stand Alone Complex&#8221;, and &#8220;Solid State Society&#8221;.
