LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment announced the launch of The Battle of Restuss, an epic, server-wide event in Star Wars Galaxies that will advance the Galactic Civil War and allow players to work together to permanently alter the Star Wars universe. Word is "Beginning this week, guards will be stationed in major cities throughout Star Wars Galaxies to give players more information on the brewing conflict. Guards will be found in Theed, Mos Eisley, Bestine and Coronet, and will direct players to Restuss, a small city on the planet Rori. There, players who have dedicated their allegiance to the Rebels or the Empire will work together with their fellow faction members to build up their base and arms in preparation for the upcoming conflict". Players of all levels in Star Wars Galaxies can participate in building up the factions’ forces, along with discovering the backstory of this escalating conflict, by accepting gathering, mining and assassination quests in-game.
