* Star Wars Galaxies: Game Update 17 - Empire Day VII / Remembrance Day VII *

Empire Day VII / Remembrance Day VII

The Empire Day and Remembrance Day celebrations are back! The tension heats up between the Alliance and the Empire again. Both factions are recruiting members to help post propaganda and tear down whatever propaganda the other side managed to post. Entertainers are recruited to boost the troops' morale, while Traders are hired to help keep supplies flowing to the front lines.

Imperials seek out, in Theed, Major Brenn Tantor for Propaganda Quests, Droid Kaythree for Trader and Entertainer Quests, and Mara Jade for Combat Quests.

Rebels seek out, in Coronet, Captain Derlin for Propaganda Quests, Major Carlist Rieekan for Trader and Entertainer Quests, and Wedge Antilles for Combat Quests.

This year there are new badges and collections plus some new rewards including the AT-ST and AT-XT vehicles. Time to get busy! Mara Jade and Wedge Antilles have a new way to show their appreciation for their fans so make sure to visit them!
