Star Wars Galaxies' Galactic War update jumps onto test server

When patches hit the test server, it's almost like an official patch day, but without the luster of permanence. Still, Star Wars Galaxies players can now check out (and help bug test!) the Galactic War update on the game's test server. The update is loaded with a substantial ranking system that aims to supply players with a bevy of new rewards to earn -- seriously, the amount of rewards is simply staggering.

Seems like a pretty good deal, assuming you're interested in fighting for your faction. Then again, what member of the Rebels or Empire wouldn't want to kick butt and take names for, well, glory? Mmm, glory, it's almost as delicious as bacon with twice the daily fiber content. You can check out the enormous list of new mechanics on the official SWG site, and if you'd like to dive deeper -- and maybe give some input -- there's always the official forums, too.
