Starships
All renowned heroes and villains require a means to travel the galaxy in pursuit of their goals. After proving your abilities and nearly reaching the halfway point of your career, you earn the privilege of captaining your own starship, large enough to hold you and your entire crew.
Starship Amenities
While a starship’s primary function may be space travel, there’s a host of other amenities on board.
Holoterminal
Your entire career would be spent traveling if you had to talk to everyone in person. Luckily, your starship comes equipped with a Holoterminal for instant communication. It's especially helpful during missions and for emergency situations.
Cargo Hold
Use the onboard Cargo Hold to clear up your inventory and store items that you don’t directly need on your person. Additional bays become available for extra storage when you reach level milestones indicated when using the Cargo Hold.
Crew
Your starship is home to both you and your crew. As your entourage grows, you can find your crew members hanging out in various parts of the ship. Check in with them now and then, as crew members will request your help at times, leading to missions that will strengthen your bond.
Galaxy Map
Use the starship’s Galaxy Map to travel around the galaxy with ease. Right-click the map control to view an overhead of the galaxy’s various space sectors. A player icon displays what sector you’re currently stationed in. Hover over a sector to view a list of the planets you can visit as well as the location of current missions.
Sector Icons
Each space sector is split in segments, and each segment is designated as an Imperial Space, a Republic Space, a Neutral Space, or a Contested Space. Hover over a space section to view its owner. Different icons within each sector indicate different actions you can undertake, from engaging in space battles to traveling to different planets and boarding mammoth space stations.
Planet
Hover over a planet to view its level range as well as any missions you have there. A blue stripe indicates that the planet is under the Republic’s control, while a red stripe indicates that the planet is under the Empire’s control.
Space Station
Space stations are much smaller than planets but often have useful things like trainers, vendors, and even Flashpoints. You’ll often be directed to space stations through missions, but they’re open to visit at any time.
Space Battle
Space battles challenge you to put your starship to the test and engage in full space combat. You must complete the assigned mission objective before the enemy can destroy you. As you play through the game, more space battles become available.
Space Combat
When engaging in space combat, your starship automatically flies through the best lines for attacking the enemy. It’s up to you to avoid incoming fire and space debris. Do your best to stay alive and complete your mission.
