The Battle Comes To An Explosive End

We all know that Star Wars Galaxies will end on December 15^th, 2011, but did you know that how Star Wars Galaxies ends is up to you?

Beginning in September, the ongoing Galactic Civil War will escalate further as both sides seek to decisively win the epic conflict. In addition to all of the current Galactic Civil War activities, new events and contests will provide you with new ways to earn Galactic Civil War points and advantages you can use to help your side win.

At a time and date yet to be announced, but prior to December 15^th, all Galactic Civil War points will be tallied by server. The side with the higher score will win the game, and the galaxy, for each server, as well as change the way the game will end and what happens in the final moments. Celebrations will be in order for those who win and, for the losers, lets just say theyll be going out with a bang.

Neutral players will also see new decorations in the Storyteller system that will allow them to host their own shutdown events if they choose to opt out of the final battles in the Galactic Civil War.

Suit up, grab your blasters or lightsabers, or get to your ships. Never before has taking bases or winning battles meant so much. Every kill counts now. Every moment counts. The fate of the galaxy is in your hands.
