SWGRealms eliminates the technical barriers that have prevented passionate community leaders from creating their own Star Wars Galaxies servers. For over two decades, running a Star Wars Galaxies galaxy has demanded significant technical knowledge, constant security monitoring, and complex infrastructure management.
While the open-source SWGEmu code provides the foundation for these communities, many talented organizers found themselves overwhelmed by database administration, backup strategies, bot detection systems, and server maintenance tasks instead of focusing on content creation and community building.
SWGRealms is a comprehensive managed hosting platform that handles galaxy infrastructure, security, and operational concerns automatically:
For Galaxy Owners
- Easy Setup: Launch your galaxy in hours instead of months
- Unified Management: Intuitive control panel for non-technical users
- Advanced Development: Managed git repositories and automated deployment pipelines for custom modifications
- Automated Operations: Backup systems, monitoring, alerting, and bot detection handled automatically
- Focus on Community: Spend time creating content and building experiences, not troubleshooting servers
For Players
- Single Account: Register once and access all galaxies in the SWGRealms universe
- Secure Authentication: Your account credentials are protected by centralized security systems
- SWGRealms Client: Automatically keeps game files updated for each galaxy you visit
- Seamless Galaxy Switching: Move between communities without managing multiple accounts or passwords
- Protected Privacy: Galaxy owners cannot access your account details or see your activity on other galaxies
Galaxy operators sign up through our unified portal and configure their community settings through an intuitive dashboard. The system handles all underlying infrastructure, including database management, backup scheduling, security monitoring, and performance optimization.
Players register for a single SWGRealms account that works across all galaxies in our universe. The SWGRealms client automatically manages game files and updates for each galaxy, so you can safely explore different communities while maintaining consistent access and up-to-date content.
Community operators can choose between invitation-only private communities or open galaxies welcoming all players, giving them complete control over their community experience.
We believe technical complexity should never stand between passionate community leaders and their vision for engaging player experiences. SWGRealms provides enterprise-grade infrastructure and security while maintaining the accessibility that grassroots communities need to thrive.
The platform is built on proven infrastructure that has successfully supported large-scale Star Wars Galaxies communities for years, bringing professional-grade expertise to community gaming.
SWGRealms is currently in invite-only beta, working closely with early adopters to refine features and ensure the service meets real-world community needs. We're prioritizing diversity of community types and geographic regions to build a robust universe of interconnected galaxies.
Community leaders interested in launching their own Star Wars Galaxies galaxy can apply for beta access through our website. We review applications from both established community organizers and newcomers alike.
