Choosing your first city is one of the first important decisions you will make in SWGEmu.
Starter cities determine where your adventure begins, what services are nearby, and how quickly
you can find trainers, missions, travel routes, faction recruiters, and other players.
For brand new players, the safest and easiest starting locations are the major hub cities.
These cities usually have strong access to trainers, terminals, starports, cantinas, medical centers,
banks, cloning facilities, and other important services.
- Mos Eisley, Tatooine: A classic starter city and one of the most recognizable cities in Star Wars Galaxies.
- Theed, Naboo: A large, organized city with strong services and easy navigation.
- Coronet, Corellia: A major hub city with excellent access to trainers, terminals, travel, and player activity.
Bellum Gero Tip: If you are unsure where to begin, choose a major hub city first.
You can always travel later once you earn credits and learn the basic systems.
