Star Wars Universe Online is an open-world game where players have the freedom to do what they want however they want. All players are presented with the option to stay neutral, join the Galactic Republic, or join the Empire.
Progressing as a Jedi Knight or Sith Knight unlocks powerful Force powers as well as unique Lightsaber parts for players to customize their game load out. Members of these factions host tournaments, lore lessons, and take on other members in a student-teacher dynamic to learn more about Star Wars.
Joining either the Republic or Empire enlists you as a Republic Solider or Empire Trooper. Climbing the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic or Empire unlocks new equipment and blasters for the soldier. Both factions have sub-factions players can join to bond with other players and form teams within their overarching faction.
Neutral players have the option of playing solo or creating their own crew traveling through space and our variety of planets. These players can choose to be upstanding citizens, become outlaws, or bounty hunters. Outlaws are wanted people by the Galactic Republic or Empire and bounty hunters are mercenaries for hire by anyone.
The entire game is a community run and anyone is welcome to join at any time. The tight-knit community invites everyone to play regardless of how much experience they previously have with Star Wars lore. The game is built by the fans of Star Wars for the fans of Star Wars.
