Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees was the second expansion pack to the MMO Star Wars Galaxies. It was announced on March 9, 2005 and released on May 5, 2005.

[edit] Features

This expansion pack added the Wookiee planet of Kashyyyk and its corresponding space sector. Kashyyyk is different from the previous ten planets: rather than being 16 square kilometers of openly navigable area, it is divided into a small central area with several instanced "dungeon" areas. A new space zone was also added. Unlike previous travel to other planets, players must launch into space, fly to the Kashyyyk space system and dock with the station in order to get to the planet surface. There is a loophole here, however. At a starship terminal, a player can select "Kashyyyk" from the drop-down planet list, then click "Travel" to go to Kashyyyk with his or her ship. This function, while quick and useful, does not grant the badge stating the player has visited the planet. Players must still use the space station to land in order to obtain the badge. Other content added in this expansion included the ability to add cybernetic limbs to a player character, quests for three new creature mounts and two new starships. A substantial portion of the content for this expansion was adapted from the film Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith which was released to theaters at approximately the same time as the expansion release.

Customers who purchased the expansion also received a limited-edition Varactyl player mount from the digital download or a BARC Speeder if they purchased the box set.

[edit] Boxed Set

Rage of the Wookiees is also available in the Star Wars Galaxies: The Total Experience and Star Wars Galaxies: The Complete Online Adventures compilation packs.
