Star Wars Galaxies: Hotfix 15.1 On Thursday, January 28th, at 4:00 AM PST all U.S. and European galaxies will be taken down for server maintenance and a Hotfix.
When the Hotfix is complete, all galaxies will be live but unavailable while we complete final testing. All galaxies will be made available after that time.

Star Wars Galaxies: Hotfix 15.1
GCW
City invasions now check to see if the general is alive and completes the invasion if the general has died, but did not notify the server.
A final communication from an Imperial or Rebel leader will congratulate faction and faction helper players that participated in a successful defense of a GCW city or killing the General.
Invasions will run concurrently in all three cities.
System messages for repairing or missing tools should not be sent on a menu request any longer for barricades and patrol objects. The system message now only displays after using the menu option.
Repair quests for barricades, turrets, and patrol points now require 10 repairs instead of 1 to complete. This reduces the spam of quest offer windows to allow faster repairing of invasion installations.
Patrol points can now be repaired.
Crafting tools no longer lose charges if an attempt to repair something fails due to the countdown timer already being displayed.
The GCW City Tutorial UI now has a button named "Get Nearest GCW City Waypoints" that will provide waypoints based on faction or mercenary status. Waypoints are issued if the player is within the city limits of a conflict city during construction and combat phases.
Entertainer - During the combat phase the General will give entertainers both the Rally and the cure Fatigue quest when asked.
Fixed an issue that would allow a smuggler to reset parts of the slicing minigame by stopping and restarting the dialog.
The Planet Map window title now contains the GCW planetary score.
Factional presence will not be granted if you are swimming (or if mounted, your vehicle/mount is on/above water).
Added crafting stations to the offensive camps in place of the junk dealers.
A "GCW Personal Contribution" radial menu has been added to the war terminal/intel pad that will display a breakdown of the various GCW regions/categories to which you have contributed over the past 30 days.
GCW Battle Worn Rebel Battle Utility Belt fixed for GCW rewards.
GCW score on nearby planets is affected by space earned GCW points.
User Interface
Score values for the History Graph tooltips are now correct (they were previously reversed).
After years of dedicated research from the far ends of the Galaxy, several experiments on various species of 'volunteers', and consultation with the Emperor himself; the Imperial Galactic Science Board has released the following amendment: the Galaxies Winner Icon and your Galaxy Winner Icon on the GCW Info screen no longer make sounds, or highlight, when you click on them.
The GCW Categories on both the GCW Information screen and the Planet Map are now alphabetized.
Being within range of a GCW city during a conflict, when an announcement is sent to all players within range, will provide the player with a one time popup user interface that provides details on how to participate in the invasion or defense of the city.
Players can access city conflict hints by using the slash command /gcwSkirmishCityHelp or use the GCW City Help Icon in their command browser.
Rebel and Imperial Helpers (mercenaries) will receive Rebel or Imperial announcements instead of neutral announcements.
