The official Star Wars Galaxies servers may have been shuttered by LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment back in 2011, but rogue servers, private servers, and emulators had been making the game playable in an unsanctioned capacity long before then. As such, some of these projects have now been around for more than a decade, while many others have sprung up more recently.
In 2025, SWGEmu and SWG: Legends are the two most popular servers, reviving the game as it was during its early-2005 and 2011 iterations respectively. Legends, along with most other servers, have made some not insignificant changes to the game’s core systems, and have even added a large amount of original content. Until 2021, SWGEmu remained focused on recreating the game exactly as it was before the game’s notorious Combat Upgrade patch, but with the launch of the Finalizer server, they have begun to implement small changes themselves, all while endeavouring to maintain the vanilla flavour that so many players still want from the game.
The beauty of rogue servers is that there’s unlimited freedom for projects to offer player experiences appealing to all sorts of niche tastes. Don’t write off the other servers on this list just on the basis of their smaller communities. Some of them have done some truly incredible work with Galaxies‘ ageing game engine, adding new areas to explore, a diverse range of additional character customization options, and quality of life features that make the game a lot more accessible to modern players.
This list is a directory of every Star Wars Galaxies server available. SWG rogue server veterans will hopefully find it useful in finding alternative places to play. If, however, you’re new to the Star Wars Galaxies community and not sure which server to start on, I would advise you to first read my guide to the best rogue servers for every kind of player.
Servers are listed in alphabetical order with the Star Wars Galaxies (SWG) prefix omitted. Unless otherwise stated, Pre-CU servers are built upon versions of the SWGEmu codebase, while NGE servers are built upon versions of SOE’s leaked source code.
