Holonet News Alert

Imperial security forces broke a galaxy-wide smuggling ring today; arresting over two hundred beings. Those in custody are accused of smuggling rare and violent creatures to various planets for use in underground fighting tournaments.

 

A number of rare Gorax, bipedal giants indigenous to Endor, were released by the smugglers in an effort to slow down approaching security forces. Luckily the releases have been limited to planets without a large presence of privately controlled cities or housing. Travelers are asked to be cautious if journeying to remote regions of the galaxy.

 

 

Greetings everyone!

As you may know this weekend marks the one year anniversary of Star Wars Galaxies! In celebration the Event Team is spawning Gorax on the four adventure planets. The Gorax is one of the rarest creatures in Star Wars Galaxies.  Throughout this weekend (starting Friday afternoon), we will spawn several of them on each of the following planets: Lok,  Endor, Dathomir and Yavin 4. They will be placed far away from civilization (starports) and are extremely dangerous. They are fun to fight (if you like being dizzy and stepped on), so bring friends on this hunting party...lots of them!

 

Have a great weekend and thank you to all the players who help make the game great!

When they allowed you to build there. This sounds fun as all get out, as I have been here a year and never seen a Gorax.

Do goraxes drop anything? Or is the hunt just to be able to say you did it?

Pardon Gonz, his head is still buzzing from our DWB adventure last night.
