Who broke the Mandalorian blockade on Coruscant? Why, it was those wily Smugglers, that's who! The Sith weren't expecting the Galactic Republic to find assistance with that particular criminal aspect, but find it they did -- and you can learn all about it through the latest Star Wars: The Old Republic timeline update.
Of course, if this second update doesn't just scream, "Smuggler class!" then we're not sure you were paying close enough attention. Then again, BioWare could just be trying to throw us off the trail by making the Smugglers such an obvious component to the back story. The problem is that, either way, you really cany have Star Wars without these guys somewhere in the story. Who knows, maybe they'll be called Scoundrels instead?
And of course there's the possibility that Mandalorians will be featured as an Empire class, or at least the new update seems to loosely imply as much. Either way, we should expect some kind of shady character classes to be announced sometime in the near future.

Mandalorians are a race or sub-species, not a class. They are a warrior race and fight as their own faction. They have fought throughout Star Wars history for both galactic powers, whichever further prolonged the protection of their culture. They aren’t good or evil. They will be a race if anything.

If there are no Spices and Slices I'm not playing a Smuggler! Also they need pie.

The smuggler would be awesome and probably work in tandem with the engineer. I would love to see a merchant class too but have no idea how to work that into the framework of the game.

It stands to reason that there should be a scoundrel-esque class and I think Smuggler is an obvious choice. That said, will Bioware learn from SOEs mistakes or fall into the same trap?
The $64k question is...will they actually let Smugglers smuggle??
