Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees represented the second expansion to the Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided massively multiplayer online game. Its announcement occurred on March 9, 2005, with the release following on May 5, 2005.
This particular expansion brought with it the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk, along with its dedicated space sector. Kashyyyk stood out from the original ten planets because, unlike their 16 square kilometers of freely explorable terrain, it was structured around a smaller hub area connected to several "dungeon" instances. A fresh space zone was implemented as well. Further additions encompassed the option for players to equip their characters with cybernetic augmentations, missions focused on acquiring three never-before-seen creature mounts, and the introduction of a pair of new starships. A significant amount of the expansion's content drew inspiration from the movie Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, coinciding with the film's theatrical debut around the same time as the expansion's launch.
Customers who made a purchase of this expansion were granted a special-edition Varactyl player mount via digital download, or a BARC speeder if they opted for the physical box set.
