Game Update 17

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

On Thursday, June 24th, 2010 at 4:00 AM PDT all U.S. and European galaxies will be taken down for server maintenance and Game Update.

When the Game Update is complete, all galaxies will be live but unavailable while we complete final testing. All galaxies will be made available after that time. ====

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!
