The Complete List of Star Wars Galaxies Rogue Servers

Relive the greatest saga ever told - yours.

LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment may have shut down Star Wars Galaxies‘ official servers back in 2011, but rogue servers, private servers, and emulators have been making the game playable in an unsanctioned capacity since long before then. That means some of these projects have now been around for more than a decade, while many others have sprung up more recently.

In 2023 SWGEmu and SWG: Legends are the two most popular servers, reviving the game as it was during its 2005 and 2011 iterations respectively. Legends, along with most other servers have made some not insignificant changes to the game’s 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 CU patch, but with the launch of the Finalizer server, they have committed themselves to future content updates as well.

The beauty of rogue servers however is that there is unlimited freedom for different projects to offer player experiences which can appeal to niche tastes. Don’t write off the other servers on this list just on the basis of their somewhat 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 fresh character customisation options, and quality of life features which make the game a lot more accessible to modern gamers.

If you’re new to the Star Wars Galaxies community and not sure which server to start on, check out 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 running versions of the SWGEmu codebase, while NGE servers are running versions of SOE’s leaked source code. This list is updated monthly along with the Rogue Server Roundup.
