"The Star Wars™ galaxy is massive and you will be able to visit numerous worlds during your travels in the The Old Republic™. To give you an early taste of what the experience will be, we’ve added a new feature to the website, allowing you to explore the Galaxy Map for yourself. You’ll get to see the five major sectors of the Known Galaxy, check out profiles of the planets, and even examine interactive models of the player Starships.

Security Office Report #89 is out, Duh Winning.

 I think this one says it a little more subtly

"BioWare and LucasArts are pleased to announce that Star Warsâ„¢: The Old Republicâ„¢ will launch on December 20, 2011 in North America and on December 22, 2011 in the European Launch Territories!..."

 And we have already filled all of our available slots.

For Allies:

Dark Jedi Brotherhood

For Adversaries:

Rebel Squadrons

Galactic Peace Corps

All of these group have had good standing with the EH for a long time and I
see good things coming from all of use working on the same server structure.

Also since all of these are PvE... if any of you are planning or love to PvP
we have a working agreement with the Remnents of Honor. They are a group of
ex-EHers and others who grew in SWG... there PvE players will be coming to us
and our PvP players can go to them.

Let me know if you have any questions

Atmospheric Flight
With atmospheric flight, you will be able to travel the skies above and see the worlds of Star Wars Galaxies in a new way. To launch into atmospheric flight, or to return to the ground, you can use your ship's icon in your datapad. Whether you are looking to host a peaceful event in your yacht with the Theed Waterfall as a backdrop or prove your piloting skills against another player over the desert of Tatooine, atmospheric flight will offer a unique way to experience Star Wars Galaxies.
The Final Battle
It's the quiet before the storm. Special teams of elite troops from either faction have been dispatched to hunt down anyone who seeks to tip the scale in the Galactic Civil War by attacking minor installations and patrols. Anyone who accepts a factional mission risks drawing the attention of an enemy strike team..."

Security Office Report #87 is out, bringing you the classic fails.

"As your character progresses through the saga of Star Warsâ„¢: The Old Republicâ„¢, you will see them advance as you unlock new skills and acquire or craft superior gear.

Whether running blockades to deliver vital supplies or evading Imperial patrols, the Smuggler must rely on his wit and guile just as much as the blaster at his side. As the price on his head rises and his enemies grow more dangerous, the Smuggler will have to acquire new skills and utilize more powerful weapons and armor to survive.

Get a look at some of the ways the Smuggler can progress and see just a small fraction of the weapons, armor and abilities that become available to him..."

I do not normally post the fan-created tribute videos, but this one was particularly well done...and well, for any serious SWG player, nicely sums up the game...Enjoy!

"Hey everyone,

Ever since the announcement a couple months ago, I've been slowly putting together a video in an attempt to capture some SWG memories. I visited lots of POIs, ran lots more Heroics, and otherwise just did anything I could think of. The result is over 5 minutes of clips featuring some of the best locations, attractions, and unique parts of Galaxies. Special thanks to the players of Starsider who took part in the making of the video, and the Devs, for keeping us going with such awesomeness as Atmospheric Flight..." - Kyranna Mythina | Starsider
