Game Update 16: Star Wars Galaxies: Stronghold of the Lok Revenants

 

On the planet of Lok located in the Outer Rim Territories, a well known Feeorin by the name of Nym leads a colorful band of pirates called the Lok Revenants. Their Stronghold is out of sight from the prying eyes of the Galactic Empire, but they aren't without problems. For the foolhardy, getting involved can mean a quick end on a barren, dusty planet. For those seeking a career opportunity as a pirate, the problems may just be opportunity. If you're the latter, contact Vana Sage in Nym's Stronghold.

GCW

In general, the 3 space GCW score categories for each of the 8 planets with an associated space zone (space zone 5x, space zone PvE 1x, and space zone PvP 1x) contribute approximately 30% to the planetary and galactic score.

 

  • Space Factional Presence
    • If you are aboard an overt factional ship (can be pilot or passenger), "actively" playing the game, not incapped/dead, of the same faction as the ship (can be on leave, combatant, or special forces), and in a space zone associated with a ground planet (Corellian System, Dantooine System, Dathomir System, Endor System, Karthakk (Lok) System, Naboo System, Tatooine System, and Yavin System), each minute, for risking life and limb to provide factional presence/patrolling the space zone, you will automatically provide a nominal amount of points to the GCW score for your faction for the space zone GCW category of the associated ground planet.
    • If you are in the pilot seat, operations chair, or turret, the amount of points contributed is proportionate to the pilot skill, plus a 10% bonus for each GCW rank.
    • If you are not in the pilot seat, operations chair, or turret, the amount of points contributed is proportionate to the character level, plus a 10% bonus for each GCW rank.

    • If the character's citizenship city is located on Rori or Talus, it will be associated with the Naboo System or the Corellian System, respectively, in determining the space factional presence same aligned city bonus.

  • GCW Region Defender

      • Region defender bonus is only available once the city/guild has defended the region for at least 3 days.
      • Each region has a fixed 20% bonus.

      • The proportionate amount that each faction gets is then divided evenly by the total number of cities and guilds currently defending the region for that faction to arrive at the final bonus value for that faction.
      • The final bonus value is applied to all the citizen's/guild member's personal GCW points earned, provided the citizen/guild member is the same faction as the city/guild and earns the GCW points while in the same region that the city/guild is defending.
      • The final bonus value is applied to all the citizen's/guild member's GCW score contribution to the region the city/guild is defending, provided the citizen/guild member is the same faction as the city/guild and makes the contribution while in the same region that the city/guild is defending.

The Empire Strikes Back 30th Anniversary Celebration

Star Wars Galaxies is celebrating The Empire Strikes Back's 30th anniversary. Each week in May, starting on the 4th, eligible characters will receive a new publish gift. It will contain a collection item and an in-game gift to commemorate the event. Be sure and log in all your characters each week to get them or you will miss out. Once you complete the collection you will receive a fifth gift. Eligible characters are ones that are at least 10 days old (i.e. characters that normally get a publish gift when we offer a new one) and they must log in each week to receive the gift.
