You've enjoyed watching the Star Wars universe for years. Now's your chance to live in it! In Star Wars Galaxies(swg credits) you can fight alongside Han Solo and Chewbacca, smuggle goods for Jabba the Hutt, defend Imperial stations from the ravages of the Rebels, create your own player city, put yourself in the pilot seat of your favorite Star Wars ship, and more.
Are you partial to the Empire or the Rebellion? Take part in the Galactic Civil War! The Galactic Civil War rages on throughout space, as well as on the ground below. Rebel commanders fight for control against Imperial garrisons, trying desperately to sway allegiances and control the planet. Hard-fought battles rage on, with ownership of cities, in fact of whole worlds, held in the balance. There is a constant ebb and flow in every war, and worlds change hands from day to day between Imperial and Rebel control.
