Star Wars Galaxies was a game developed by Sony Online Entertainment that was released in 2003 and ran until the end of 2011. Considered the absolute apex of open-world MMORPG experience, it consisted of several different eras marked by substantial updates that changed the way players experienced the game.

Star Wars Galaxies allows you to create, customize, and play out your own Star Wars experience. The game takes place in a war-torn era of Star Wars history where the Rebel Alliance challenges the might of the Empire. The two sides struggle for control. Power comes in many forms, and it's at your whims to decide how to wield it.

In this open-world Star Wars game, you'll be able to team up with other players and work together to face challenging bosses, obtain legendary loot, and immerse yourself in the Star Wars universe.

The best part is that Star Wars Galaxies has something for everyone. With one of the most robust crafting systems across the gaming industry and an expansive player city and housing system, it doesn't matter if combat's not really your thing. Steal enemy intel as a stealthy Bothan Ranger, take to the stars as a Sullustan pilot, or plan several steps ahead of your enemies as a Chiss squad leader.

You have the power to gather resources and create the best products possible to build up your merchant empire in this player-driven economy. Outfit your friends and guildmates in the best armor money can buy or supply them with the strongest weapons to help tip the scales of this Galactic Civil War or overcome perils from the likes of the deadly Nightsisters, the legend of Exar Kun, Geonosians who are creating monsters, ancient Krayt Dragons, HK-47 and his assassin droids, the forces of Death Watch, and much more.

Build up and manage your city to give your citizens the most beautiful views, provide the most convenient travel points, and experience the most trafficked marketplaces in the galaxy.

Or maybe you're not even interested in fighting on the ground and want to take to the stars. If ground combat isn't really your thing, perhaps you'd prefer to solidify your name as a legend of the Star Wars galaxy by becoming the best X-Wing pilot and taking on squadrons of TIE Fighters. Whether you want to take part in epic space battles between the Rebellion and the Empire, make a living as a simple smuggler dodging pirates and delivering cargo, or cruise around in the Clone Wars classic ARC-170, the Star Wars galaxy is out there waiting for you.
