Life Day is an event. It is the SWG version of Christmas. Every year 2 gifts are given out by the Developers to everybody in-game. One gift is for people to open themselves, and the other gift is for you to trade with a friend.

Life Day is upon us! One of the most important Wookiee customs is Life Day. On this day, extended Wookiee families gather and celebrate a day of joy and harmony as promised by the Tree of Life.

Traditionally celebrated on the Wookiee home world Kashyyyk, Life Day is a time to reflect on the renewal of life and to remember those who have passed on.

Wookiees greatly value morality, courage, compassion and loyalty. As part of this sacred and ancient Wookiee tradition is that of the honor family . An honor family comprises a Wookiee's closest friends and companions. These family members pledge a commitment to lay down their lives for one another as well as members of any honor families these individuals may have.

Wookiees will often brave adverse conditions to make it home for this holiday as it is an important time for family bonding and thankfulness. Even the Imperial blockade that is stationed around their enslaved home world can not keep Wookiees from recognizing this most important day.

In recent years, Life Day traditions have been adopted by many species across the galaxy. Originally, the celebration was held once every three years, but as the joyous holiday has spread through the galaxy, many species and cultures hold the celebration once a year.

The Life Day Celebration for 2009 year adds a few new gifts to the rewards that can be purchased with tokens but otherwise replicates many of the previous years successful highlights. Players go to Wayfar, Dearic, or Doaba Guerfel to get their badge and presents from the huge Life Day tree: a Life Day Gift Box for themselves and a Life Day Gift Box for a Friend. Also, there is a vendor, one for the rebels, one for the imperials, that give out life day gifts for propaganda tokens. Players can collect as many tokens as they want a day, but only have 30 minute time limit to collect them, and only one opportunity is allowed per day. There are two tasks, one for each faction, for which 5 tokens are awarded for each success, or 15 if you're Special Forces. Imperials are told to smash presents while Rebels are tasked with decorating young Wroshyr trees.
