Game Update 16: Stronghold of the Lok Revenants did not have as much hype as many other previous updates, having lived most of its life in the shadow of the Galactic Civil War Update that preceeded it. The December 2009 Produce Note first mentioned what the future beyond 2009 might hold, but it was not confirmed which order various Space, Chronicles and GCW updates would come in and which would be Game Update 16 until February's Note in which the content was finally revealed.

Space Improvements[]
As part of a large overhaul of how GCW in Space is awarded, a new Piracy Event has been added to the game. Players can complete new Duty Missions (which have replaced factional spawns) to gain tokens which are used to purchase special components. These components are then used to drag a convoy of heavily armored ships out of hyperspace. Destroying these ships will grant skillful players some increadible new loot.
Also, two more new aspects of space gameplay have been added.
GCW Improvements[]
Building upon the Planetary Control Game that Game Update 15 brought into the game, players can now benefit directly from their city or guild keeping control of a region of their choosing using the Regional Control feature that was first showcased in a Friday Feature.
Repeatable Quests[]
The Nym's Starmap Quest and Lord Cyssc Quest are now repeatable once every day. The Lord Cyssc Quest also now awards The Vengeance Ion Cannon, the Ionic Pulse Cannon, the Trandoshan Repeater and the new Heavy Ionic Pulse Cannon.
