Fast Travel.
Open Conflict.
SWG Apex is a custom Pre-CU sandbox built to cut down the old waiting and bring players into the real game faster. Build your character, travel the galaxy, join the faction war, grow a city, and make your place in a more open version of classic SWG.
What is SWG Apex?
SWG Apex is not a strict museum copy of old Pre-CU. It keeps the sandbox, professions, cities, crafting, exploration, and faction war, but removes more of the friction that slows players down.
Get In Faster
Character building, travel, movement, vehicles, and gear access are being tuned so players spend less time waiting and more time playing.
Open World Risk
Rebel and Imperial players are treated as overt while out in the open world. Outside protected major NPC city areas, faction choice matters.
Player-Driven Galaxy
Cities, guilds, factions, crafters, hunters, and rivalries are meant to drive the world instead of locked-down systems and endless grind.

On Apex, mayors do not own cities. Citizens do.
