In a galaxy far, far away, adventure awaits in the worlds of Star Wars Galaxies. During character creation, players may choose from ten different species and nine different primary professions, all of which are mentioned in the Star Wars franchise.

There have been three expansions since Star Wars Galaxies’ initial release (Jump to Lightspeed, Rage of the Wookies, and Trials of Obi-Wan), all of which have added additional features to the main game. This has provided players with infinite chances to be the hero that the galaxy may need.
