Early Access to Galactic Starfighter Granted to Subscribers

BioWare and LucasArts today granted early access for current subscribers to the new free-to-play Star Wars: The Old Republic Digital Expansion, Galactic Starfighter. The second Digital Expansion introduces 12v12 Player-vs-Player (PvP) free-flight dogfighting and factional battles as the war between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic expands into space. Players will compete and advance to earn experience, in the form of “requisition” to unlock new weapons, powers and abilities to customize their Starfighter.

Anyone who becomes a subscriber will be able to jump right into Galactic Starfighter and become part of the factional combat and free flight PvP experience (no minimum character level requirements apply). In addition to gaining early access to Galactic Starfighter, subscribers will receive exclusive rewards, including custom paint jobs, two pilot suits and two titles (“Test Pilot” and “First Galactic Starfighter”). Preferred Status Players will be granted access to Galactic Starfighter on January 14th, before the Digital Expansion becomes available to the public beginning on February 4th.
