SWG Death Troopers
Star Wars Galaxies: The Death Troopers have arrived in a galaxy near you!
The new content for Star Wars Galaxies is now live! If you never thought it would happen, well my friend it has… undead in Star Wars! While the initial thought of mixing that into this Genre is a bit nauseating, give it a moment and understand that this is not something which Brother Bundah Voodoo threw together with his black magics.
This is more along the lines of Resident Evil, so if you can try for a moment to take the image of Han Solo holding a crucifix to ward off the undead minions out of your head and instead picture Milla Jovovich wearing a hospital gown putting the beat down on some reanimated bad guys then you are more mentally prepared for this next and dare I add weird chapter in the Star Wars saga. Below are the full patch notes to prep you for what lies ahead. Good luck and may the Force be With You.. if you can convince Alice (Milla’s character in Resident Evil) to come along that wouldn’t be a bad idea either.
Edit: I went ahead and added in the two patch notes for the hot fixes that were introduced after this publish was released. You can find those additional items at the bottom of this initial Chapter 14 publish messages.
“Publish Notes, October 12th, 2009
Death Troopers
After a mysterious turn of events the Empire has mustered an enormous military presence in a remote location on Dathomir. Imperial High Command has issued a travel warning to notify citizens to avoid travel to the planet if possible. Citizens that cannot avoid travel to Dathomir should be aware that certain locations are now considered restricted areas. Unauthorized travel by citizenry to these restricted areas may result in fines, arrest or both. While rumors have circulated that restricted areas are being used to contain a biological threat, no official report has been confirmed or denied by High Command.

Death Troopers - Known Issue
- After further experimentation with the Blackwing virus, we discovered that the Sullustan race was particularly susceptible to the infection. Sullustan’s who have been infected will exhibit symptoms including mood swings, cold sweats, and white eyes. Rest assured we have an inoculation ready and it will be administered in the next update.
Vendor/Bazaar
- Search By Attribute: You can now search by attribute factory crates by the attributes of the item contained inside the crate. If the Misc->Factory Crate node is selected, you must first specify the Type search attribute to indicate the type of item you are looking for, and based on the specified item type, additional search attributes for that item type will be added to the attribute list. If an item type node under the Misc->Factory Crate node is selected, the attribute list will be automatically populated with the search attributes for the selected item type.
- Fix issue where the Offers and Stockroom tab return all items regardless of what is selected in the Object Type Filter tree.
