Happy Third Anniversary to Star Wars Galaxies!
It’s been three years since gamers across the world began jumping online to adventure in a galaxy far, far away…and now it’s time to celebrate!
To commemorate Star Wars Galaxies' third year anniversary, there will be events, parties, in-game gifts and even a sweepstakes!
3 Year Anniversary Gift
Your very own Instant Travel Vehicle
In late June, all players will receive a Privateer ship in game (1 for each character per account)! This personal travel vehicle works anywhere in the galaxy (except Kashyyyk and Mustafar) and can be called upon to instantly transport your character to any shuttleport on the planet. No more need to drive to the nearest shuttleport to be transported – the Privateer ship will take you right there…even if your character is in the middle of the wilderness!
Check the Launchpad or this page for more information about how to claim your Privateer personal travel vehicle!

From Monday, June 19th to Friday, June 23rd from 5-7pm (Central Time), SWG developers will be logging on to Test Center every night for 2 one-hour-long Faction PvP events (each hour long event will take place in a different location)!
Players and developers will be choosing sides and jumping into battle!
