Event End When: November 11th, 11pm PDT, Saturday, November 12th, 2022 1am EDT/6am UTC


Event Where: Basilisk Server, Various Planets



The time has come to close the doors on a server that helped, time and time again, move our project ever forward. Basilisk was the first play/test server to fully run the Object Restructure branch, which was a foundational restructure of Core3. Basilisk started with very minimal features, replacing the Liberator server as the primary server for us here at SWGEmu and now comes to an end as a nearly complete Pre-CU SWG experience.


Many memories were made, within the community and staff, throughout the years that Basilisk has been online. It has provided bountiful information that attributes to the stability of the code base to this day, while giving a enjoyable play experience that we all so dearly missed from the Pre-CU days of live. We can now turn our full focus on Finalizer and that goal of 1.0, that continues to move closer each day.


Join us at the event for the final goodbye to all the great memories on Basilisk.

"Citizens of the Galaxy, Hear me. Your leaders, the Empire, have made a momentous decision. In this decision, they have turned back from your planets they would claim as their own. Their ships gather in great flotillas, not to defend you, but for nefarious purposes. They move to a planet, and all traffic we hear is of horror and panic, and then they are gone. We don't know what has happened to these planets, but they are not stopping, more planets go dark by the day, by the hour.

We are on our own. Together we can fight, apart we will fall. It's time to make a stand, it's time to rebel!" - Mon Mothma in a galaxy-wide declaration to the Holonet.


After the event ends and Basilisk is shut down one last time, we may commemorate the event with those who joined in it's final hurrah with a unique badge.

End of an era, Thanks to the staff for all the hard work that went in to putting this together.

Farewell sweet, sweet Bas. There for me when I needed something in my life. All things must come to an end....

[MatthewStarWars]

Goodbye Bas.

You've held a lot of memories for me, I'll be visiting the remains of the old player cities one last time there.


For me, it's almost like a smaller version of live shutting down. Bas was really the first time I played SWG properly, as I only ever played the free trial of live the year it shut down, and so this place has been my personal SWG experience and history, and so I appreciate and thank the people who worked on that server to this day for creating the opportunity for me to experience SWG and to have had the memories I now look on fondly.

[Misk Brebran]

Thank you SWG community for sticking with the old girl through thick and thin for so long.

Bas allowed me to meet so many new people i have a feeling ill be in touch with for years and years. It was a wonderful run.

Alas, now it is time for you to take a well deserved rest as Finalizer takes the lead.

Well done.

Those ten years went fast... and were great and rich in events and experiences.

Old friends discovered again, some lost and new ones... and in the misty horizons... still hope.

Thanks to all who were part of it for the good or the bad, for you both made us stronger.

Sad to see. I didn't do well on the move to Finalizer but I'll definitely be logging in to say goodbye.

Thank you.
What's the plan for the days before 11/11/2022? Can we please have the server up and running? I want to take a lot of screens and make videos. You know, I'm a sentimental player

Thanks
