@Luke_Maxxing Garik Loran or bust. We won't settle for Tetran Cowall.

@Luke_Maxxing I'm slightly appalled that I understood that reference. RIP Tal'dira.

Week 4 of Taanab Harvest has arrived. The Norulacs, backed by Warlord Zsinj, are attempting to take control of Taanab space. The Taanab farmers and the New Republic garrison aren't going down without a fight. Will you join them?

Making its first appearance in Star Wars Galaxies on EiF, the XQ-1 platform first appeared in the 1994 game TIE Fighter and was a staple in the X-wing series. On EiF, it brings some much-needed visual diversity to space stations.

Week 3 of the Taanab Harvest has arrived. Help the farmers' cooperative move grain to the Pandath starport via AT-ACT, then take to the skies in an R-22 Spearhead to escort loaded YT-1300 freighters through hostile space.

The Taanab Harvest has entered Week 2! Tensions continue to rise as the farmers' militia prepares for a shooting conflict with the Norulac pirates.

We've launched an EiF wiki! With a nice, easy-to-remember URL:

The Taanab Harvest event has returned to Empire in Flames for 2025 - and this year includes JtL! Fly new fighters against new enemies...but beware new danger lurking.

The event runs for four weeks, with new activities each week. Join us!

The deeply piratical roots of the New Republic navy has ensured captured vessels are put back into service. KDY's Raider Corvettes undergo a refit at Mon Calamari before joining the Republic's order of battle.

We're implementing proper ion damage on EiF, where components are disrupted or disabled instead of destroyed. Players will also have access to counterplay...

Developed by Koensayr for the Republic, the BTL-B Y-wing shocked the galaxy by becoming the GAR's fighter-bomber of choice during the Clone Wars. Old Republic Y-wings are still in use in the Outer Rim, though few still boast the original bubble turret.

[Empire in Flames @EmpireInFlames]

Following the Clone Wars, the Incom corporation produced a new fighter designed for police work and planetary defense - the S-91x Pegasus "Tri-wing". The flood of surplus Republic fighters, however, prevented widespread adoption of the Tri-wing.

[Empire in Flames @EmpireInFlames]

The Xg-1 Assault Gunboat, built on Lambda shuttle technology, was a potent fighter, but disfavored compared to the usual Imperial TIE-series starfighters. Heavily armed and armored, it could escort Imperial VIPs from Coruscant to the Outer Rim.

[Empire in Flames @EmpireInFlames]

Designed during the Clone Wars in complete secrecy, Incom's RF-1 Dart was positioned to become the next flagship fighter of the Republic.

The new Empire's decision to award the contract for a fleet fighter to Sienar on a non-competition basis led to the Dart being shelved.

@EckhartsLadder I do like me a StarViper. (On a Star Wars Galaxies rogue server.)

[Empire in Flames @EmpireInFlames]

Empire Day! This year, on Empire in Flames, we have a new mission: take to the skies for the very first time and escort a corvette of your faction through the Alderaan system - the Graveyard - and fend off enemy fighters.

JtL awaits...

[Empire in Flames @EmpireInFlames]

Remember how, in SWG: Jump to Lightspeed, the Empire had a Star Destroyer but the Rebellion didn't have anything close to that scale? The biggest things they ever got were a space station and a Nebulon-B Frigate?

Yeah, about that...

[Empire in Flames @EmpireInFlames]

Big things coming for EiF and JtL. Things never seen in SWG before...

[Empire in Flames @EmpireInFlames]

With the T-70 X-wing's deployment stuck in legal litigation, FreiTek offered the New Republic a new design free of Incom's patents: the E-wing.

However, the E-7's teething problems, from finicky blasters to brand new R7 droids, leave its future as a frontline fighter in doubt.

[Empire in Flames @EmpireInFlames]

FreiTek's new T-70 X-wing shows promise as a successor to the Incom T-65, but ongoing lawsuits between Imperial-owned Incom and Republic-friendly FreiTek over patent infringement and trade secret violations have slowed deployments to active squadrons to a crawl.
