Pre-CU Freedom.
No Endless Grind.
SWG Apex is built for players who love the old Star Wars Galaxies sandbox but do not want the old grind wall. Build fast, gear fast, claim a place in the galaxy, and get straight into cities, faction conflict, crafting, PvP, exploration, and player-made stories.
What is SWG Apex?
SWG Apex is not a strict museum copy of old Pre-CU. It is a freedom-first custom server built around the best part of classic SWG: the sandbox. The goal is to remove outdated friction while keeping the world, cities, professions, faction war, crafting, exploration, and community politics that made the game special.
Come and Play
Get into the world quickly. The server is tuned so players can build a character, grab usable gear, and start playing instead of grinding for weeks.
Freedom Over Friction
Apex keeps the classic sandbox feel, but removes needless roadblocks that make people quit before the real game starts.
Custom Patched
This server is actively being patched around the Apex identity: fast setup, open cities, lower grind, stronger mobility, and more player-driven conflict.

Cities are Open
Cities are a major part of the Apex identity. The server is being tuned so cities are easier to start, easier to grow, and harder to lock down as private kingdoms.
On Apex, mayors do not own cities. Citizens do.
- City zoning is permanently open/off
- Players should be able to move into cities more freely
- Mayors must lead and earn support
- City rank requirements are tuned for low-friction growth
- Future placement patches will make cities easier to establish
