Galactic Civil War (GCW) and Temporary Enemy Flags (TEF)
The Galactic Civil War (GCW) will be heating up as players fight for control of the planets. The system is broken into two major components. The introduction of an improved flagging system for factionally aligned players (removal of "Temporary Enemy Flags" - TEFs) and the introduction of a GCW tracking system that allows players to battle over planets and win control of cities for their faction.

If you have any further questions when you are done, check out the forums where a discussion is taking place on these changes.
* The new pvp factional bases are now purchasable from faction recruiters, and the PVE bases have had their prices reduced by half.
* For now, when you buy a factional base (of any type), you'll get two more base deeds of PvE type for free of one level lower, each. (Buy a PvP or PvE HQ, and get a PvE field hospital and a PvE forward base, or something similar)
* Players are now capped at three factional bases of any type
* Removed covert detectors
* Enemy characters are now allowed to perform secure trades.
* Some very important persons with a vested interest in the Galactic Civil War are rumored to be making appearances at their stronghold cities.
Group Friendly Looting
* Group Looting in Star Wars is a variety of methods for how players in Star Wars Galaxies can distribute loot. These systems will allow the group leader to determine what type of looting system his group will use.

Player Event Perks
Every week there are a many player-run events held across the galaxy. These events can be anything from PvP tourneys and role-playing events to murder mysteries or dance parties. To help players more easily run these events, the Event Team has been working on some special tools and perks that will soon appear on Test Center. Be aware that some options and perks may change between Test Center and live. Click here to read more about the Player Event Perks and click here to join in on the discussion.

* If you have triggered more than one veteran reward at the same time, the announcement will remind you that you need to claim the first reward before the second will be offered.
* The command /claimVeteranReward will now bring up the choices for the new veteran rewards, in addition to the Sorosuub. This will also fix an issue where players choose the option to be reminded in a week for rewards and they change their mind but have to wait out the week, now players can type /claimVeteranReward to reinitiate the process.

Harvesting / Resources
* There will no longer be a penalty to harvesting while in a group. Instead, there will now be a 20% harvesting bonus if you are in a group and at least one group member is within 64m of you when you harvest.
