Star Wars Galaxies is a sci-fi MMORPG initially released as Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided. This MMOG’s world consists of ten different planets, each one a 16 km x 16 km map and borrowed from the known fictional Star Wars universe with a timeline set between the Episode IV: A New Hope and Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back movies. Star Wars Galaxies features content both mentioned and not mentioned in various Star Wars media. During character creation, players may choose from ten different species and nine different primary professions, all of which are mentioned in various Star Wars media.
An entirely new 3D engine was designed to portray the Star Wars galaxy in the greatest possible detail. A seamless universe spanning ten fully-realized Star Wars worlds, from the films and expanded universe, each with over 15 x 15 kilometers of explorable terrain. Define your own role in the galaxy with 8 playable species and over 30 professions; become bounty hunters, smugglers, squad leaders and more. Many social skills are available, including dancing, musicianship and image designer. Grow your character with an in-depth and flexible skill-based system of advancement. Enjoya a highly configurable User Interface, and a highly cinematic and tactical combat system that focuses on blasters and other ranged weapons. Ally and fight with the Rebel or Imperial sides of the Galactic Civil War, or remain neutral. Rewarding faction system that allows players to gain special perks by fighting in the Galactic Civil War. Join Battlefields, where players can square off against one another or NPCs to earn faction standing. The battlefields include placeable Minefields, Turrets and Bases.
During their adventures throughout the galaxy, characters will have the opportunity to meet famous Star Wars NPCs, travel in their own landspeeders, speeder bikes or swoops, control economies, earn fame and fortune (or infamy and notoriety), obtain rare items, artifacts and trinkets, and build, own and decorate their own structures, including houses, cantinas and guild halls. These structures can even be organized into entire cities run by players. There have been three expansions since Star Wars Galaxies’ initial release (Jump to Lightspeed, Rage of the Wookies, and Trials of Obi-Wan), all of which have added additional features to the main game. SW Galaxies has a completely player-run in-game economy that includes an in-game Marketplace that allows auctions and sales of in-game items.
