Visions of the Past, Dreams of the Future

When: December 5th, 2021 to December 15th, 2021



Where:​ Your task starts on Naboo for those wishing to aid the Rebellion and on Corellia for those who sympathize with the Empire.










Come join the SWGEmu Staff in one of our first new quest events, which helps celebrate the milestone of Basilisk passing SWG Live's lifespan.




Times are turbulent since the destruction of the Death Star. Vast floating debris of the wreckage hang in the orbit of Yavin Prime. Those who've visited Yavin IV have seen the artificial rings circling this gas giant, the remnants streaking across its atmosphere, sometimes even impacting on the moon. However, not everything was what it seems. Larger portions of the rubble have been spotted on the moon in recent days, the attention of both the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance to this sudden opportunity.

Each have dispatched recovery teams to Yavin IV with haste to discover what information and salvage there is to be had. Both teams are seeking those interested in assisting with this salvage.

Wookiee Life Day - December 2021




Life Day is upon us. Traditionally celebrated on the Wookiee home world of Kashyyyk, Life Day is a time to reflect on the renewal of life and to remember those who have passed on. In recent years Life Day traditions have been adopted by many species across the galaxy. Wookiees will often brave adverse conditions to make it home for this holiday, as it is an important time for family bonding and thankfulness.

This year's Life Day celebration is particularly special in light of those we have lost since the last event.

Those who wish to learn more should head to Vreni Island on Corellia, the Naboo Lake Retreat on Naboo or Anchorhead on Tatooine where a friendly Wookiee in a red robe can be found who will tell you more about the holiday. This event will be live on Basilisk throughout December.

Click here for more information about the event.


Happy Life Day!

As we approach the 1.0 status of our project (still no timeline, no worries!), we will be testing various changes to newly-generated veteran rewards.

This will enable us to gather and review data on play styles and make better decisions in the future.

To be crystal clear: any changes made for testing will affect only veteran rewards generated after the changes; they will not be retroactively applied to any existing items.

Real Life Monetary trades - September 2020

Staff would just like to give a friendly reminder to our community that following ALL our TOS is a requirement to be able to use our service. Aside from the act of donating to the project (thank you!), spending real money on third party websites for in-game benefit is strictly forbidden. Today we have banned 65 accounts for breaking this section of our TOS. We do not enjoy removing people from our project, but violations like this endanger the project and force us to act.

Our TOS say:

1.9. On SWGEmu Servers, all accounts and characters used for financial gain will be deleted/banned. It is forbidden to use your account for:

• 1.9.1. Soliciting real life monetary trades.
• 1.9.2. Purchasing of in-game credits or items for real life currency.
• 1.9.3. Exchange of in-game items/credits for real life items.
• 1.9.4. Exchange of in-game items/credits for items/currency from other games.

Selling your account/sharing account

Selling your account will fall under the same rules. If we find that an account has changed owner, it will be banned.
Letting others borrow your account also falls under the rule below:

1.5. Do not share accounts. The rule includes children as well, if you have a child in your home they are not allowed to share accounts as they must each have their own regardless of age. Any account banned for another user's actions will not be unbanned at the request of the owner.

1.6. Any and all stolen and/or compromised accounts that are reported to SWGEmu Staff may be *suspended* in order to conduct an investigation. On the SWGEmu Servers, characters, credits, buildings, structures, or items will not restored or replaced under any circumstances.

Our support team needs to be strengthened and we are searching for one or more interns that we can train to become CSRs to help our community in support about account and in-game issues.
Some of the tasks that our CSRs handle are:

• Approving multiple account applications
• In-game issues like getting people unstuck or help them been able to log in a character
• investigate reports about rule breaking on our servers
• Help with Events and setting them up and/or execute them

The work is done in two systems. We have a live support, where you can talk directly to players with issues, or we have a ticket system where you will answer the ticket, trying to solve the issue or answering questions about policies.

Please follow this link if you are interested in contributing some of your time to the project and the community.
