At first,you need swg credit in the game.
The Galactic Republic
The Galactic Republic has been a beacon of hope and civility for more than 20,000 years. Governed by the Galactic Senate and defended by the Jedi Order, the senate has representatives from hundreds of star systems and planets in the known galaxy. When the Sith returned, the Jedi and the Republic were caught off guard and the capital city of Coruscant was sacked. The Republic was forced to sign the Treaty of Coruscant, which required them to withdraw support for many of their allies. Since the treaty’s signing, the Republic has been plagued by bickering and in-fighting. Some blame the senate for the imperial conquest, others blame the Jedi. Republic resources are in short supply and allocated accordingly. The shortage of resources has only added to the friction within the Republic.
Sacking of Coruscant
Coruscant is the capital world of the Galactic Republic. Representatives from all over the galaxy meet here to decide law and make decisions affecting the Republic.
When the Sith Emperor made an offer of peace, leaders from the Republic met with Sith representatives on the planet of Alderaan, but the meeting was a deceptive trap set by the Sith, one the Republic learned all too late. While representatives were away on Alderaan, the Sith launched a massive attack on the planet of Coruscant. The Sith bombarded the planet from space and sacked the Jedi Temple, slaying many Jedi and six Jedi Masters. The Sith then captured the Galactic Senate and held the whole planet hostage.
With Coruscant under Sith control, the Galactic Senate had no choice but to sign the Treaty of Coruscant. The treaty terms forced the Republic to abandon support for long-time allies and outlying worlds. At any moment things could get too heated and you could end up with a full scale war.
In conclusion,the peace treaty between the Sith Empire and Galactic Republic is strained at best. This presents an excellent setting for the high tension atmosphere that SWTOR will embody. Besides, We provide SWG Credits and SWG money for all the servers of Star Wars Galaxies
