Added The Third Bi-Annual Petranaki Tournament event is now live until April 20! It is a celebration of death, and all participants will be rewarded. You can read the full details here: https://swgr.org/post/the-third-petranaki-tournament.4489/
- If you signed up to be in the tournament, your characters above CL54 will be assigned to their teams and flagged for PvP.
- All GCW and other ground PvP functions will be disabled for the duration of the tournament.
- Participants will receive an Acklay, Nexu, or Reek pin depending on their team, once per account (claimed through the Entitlements system). These pins can be worn on the brooch slot. While on your character (including in inventory), the pin will keep track of your kills, assists, and (most importantly) deaths in the tournament.
- After the tournament, the team pin will be updated with the Bonus Token charges for Heroics and Battlefields, for eligible players that participated. Be sure to have the pin on your character to keep track of your progress and eligibility!
- Teams may be added to the entry list of buildings by adding "team:reek", "team:acklay" or "team:nexu" to the Entry list
- Jedi participating in the tournament will not lose experience points when dying

Added A new season begins! The GCW scores have been reset, and player ranks have been reduced down to Sergeant Major. After the tournament when the GCW is re-enabled, the following changes will be in place:
- Space will now contribute to exactly 25% of the overall planet score(s) including for shared space sectors. This is roughly in line with how it was previously, but has just changed to be more consistent regardless of how many ground regions were present.
- The PvE and PvP special categories on the GCW scoreboard have been removed, leaving only ground and space regions
- Gaining GCW points in a region no longer contributes to the control score. Instead, specific mechanics (listed below) will be the only way to accrue points for your faction.
- Watchtower control: 50 points, applied every 5 minutes, on vulnerable planets.
- Factional Presence - Ground: 10 points applied to a zone, maximum once every 5 minutes, regardless of how many people are there. Must be visible, not swimming, not afk for it to count. Bonus for being in your defended region at Senior Officer Rank (above Major)
- Factional Presence - Space: 10 points applied to a zone, maximum once every 5 minutes, regardless of how many people are there. Bonus for being in your defended region at Senior Officer Rank (above Major)
- PvP kill - Ground: 250 points for the first kill/day, 10 points each subsequent kill on that player. 2-4x bonus if the player was high rank. Only applies once per death, not per kill credit/assist
- PvP kill - Space: 250 points for the first kill/day, 10 points each subsequent kill on that player. 2-4x bonus if the player was high rank. Counts for every member that is present on a Space POB
- Successful Base Bust: 2500 points (no bonuses, multipliers, limits)
- Preventing a Base Bust: 1000 points for disabling a terminal after countdown, or disabling/expiring a Phase Inverter.
- Space Battle Victory: 2500 points for an SF space battle with player participants, for the winning side.
- Space Duty MIssions: Tier 5+ SF Duty Missions only. 20 points applied whenever you receive token payouts, an extra 200 when completed. Bonus applied for being in your defended region at Senior Officer Rank (above Major)
- Watchtower control: 50 points, applied every 5 minutes, on vulnerable planets.
