With all of the turmoil throughout the galaxy, many in both the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire have begun to look for an escape from the uncertainty of impending war through competitive contests. Others have found themselves already found themselves locked in battle with others throughout the galaxy.

In specific areas outside of the main character story, players can face off against each other in exciting Player-vs-Player combat. Whether alone or teamed up with others, players can battle each other through intense ground combat or take the fight to space in epic dogfights in their own customizable starships.

Warzones

Warzones in Star Wars: The Old Republic are instanced areas where Imperial and Republic forces battle each other in Player-vs-Player combat on the ground in planets throughout the galaxy. Players from each side enter the Warzone and then compete to defeat other players and accomplish the mission they’ve been assigned. To emerge victorious, players will have to work together strategically, leveraging their strengths and exploiting their enemies’ weaknesses. Different maps will require different objectives to be met to come out victorious, ranging from capturing strategic points to simply eliminating all players on the opposing team.

At the end of each match, the winning team will be recognized, and individual players on both sides will be rewarded according to their contributions to their respective teams.
