STAR WARS: GALAXIES EXPANSION PACK
Posted by VE Reporter
 Verant Interactive has announced a special space-expansion pack to be distributed six months after the official release of their primary product, Star Wars: Galaxies. The much-anticipated first add-on for the Star Wars: Galaxies series will introduce personal starships and starfighters, which can be used for interplanetary travel or space combat. The expansion also promises additional worlds, playable species, non-player characters, new creatures, the ability to explore the inside of starships and much more.
“The staggered release schedule of the space component of the Star Wars: Galaxies series will benefit players because they will have time to establish their characters and explore different elements of the core game before we add the space layer,” says Rich Vogel, director of development at the Austin Studio of Sony Online Entertainment. “Once the space component becomes available, players who have been with us since the beginning will be ready to buy their own starships and launch into this new arena.”
Star Wars: Galaxies has also set the gaming community buzzing due to their showing at the 2001 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), even earning a nomination for "Best in Show" from such notable media conglomerates such as MSNBC, Gamespot, CNN and Gamespy.
