"Whether you?re looking to dominate the galaxy in the name of the Empire or rescue it from darkness as part of the Republic, you won?t get very far without a starship. In Star Wars?: The Old Republic?, your starship will be your base of operations, and it might even be your best friend. Ship models are specially designed to match the needs and tastes of each of the class types, so even though all the starships are outfitted for traveling the galaxy, each has its own character.
