Since the cadence of territory wars has two wars so close together, we are combining the competition to cover two wars at a time!
We're also trying a new type of scoring for the next several iterations, measuring success based on max banners. Our original approach hasn't scaled well as we get players across a wider GP range.
For all players of Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes who are in a guild participating in Territory Wars, it's time for the Brotherhood to stake it's claim on the galaxy! Prepare your roster for war and show the power of the dark side on the holotables.
Post two screenshots (one for each war) in #galaxy-of-heroes showing your total banners earned during these two Territory Wars. Players of all experience levels and roster size can show their prowess on the field of battle!

On the 1st of each month, for a 6 month period commencing 1 Oct 24, a SW themed crossword will be released for completion by BG3 members. Each crossword will be focused on a specific squadron of BG3, celebrating current and past events. All participants are to return their completed crossword to GN La'an by the close of the final day of the month (GMT), who will record the time of submission and number of correct answers to rank entries. 1st to 4th place will be determined by most correct answers and fastest submission time, with full listings shared monthly!
Remaining: 5 months, 26 days

Pilots within the official organizational guilds on the Star Forge server (“Emperor’s Hammer” for the Sith Empire and “Infiltrator Wing” for the Republic) will compete against each other for placement awards while they aide the organization to meet its in-game goals.
Criteria:
Weekly Placements:
Weekly placement awards will be given, per faction, and will be determined by the sum of all conquest points earned by a pilot’s legacy (all characters a pilot has on the server, within the official guilds), calculated from the guild roster screen. Screenshots of the pilot totals will be taken between 10am-12pm GMT on Tuesday. Due to scheduling conflicts, points earned between 10am and 11am GMT on Tuesday may not be represented on the official screenshots. Pilots earning conquest points between 10am-11am GMT on Tuesday will need to submit a screenshot containing all points earned by a pilot’s legacy to eh.gytheran@gmail.com or in DMs to Gytheran on Discord for consideration.
NOTE: It is a good habit to take a screenshot of your conquest totals each week as a back-up in the off chance a catastrophic event occurs, and official screenshots cannot be acquired.
The conquest totals can be accessed by all members. While in game, press “G,” select the “Roster” tab, set one of the two right-most columns’ drop-down menus to “Conquest Points,” and sort by “Legacy.”
Each week, the top three pilots in each of the two guilds will be awarded Iron Stars and given “placement points” used in the calculation of monthly and final competition awards. Any pilot reaching 100,000 conquest points in either or both SWTOR guilds will also be awarded an Operational Readiness Award (ORA). The ORA can be granted once per faction, per week, for a maximum of two ORAs per week.
Placement points are ONLY given 1 time per faction, per week and will be determined by a Pilot’s highest placement within that faction. Placement points for pilots earning 100,000 conquest points are only granted if that is their highest award for that faction.
Weekly Awards:
Imperial Guild:
1st Place: IS-SW and 12 Placement Points
2nd Place: IS-BW and 11 Placement Points
3rd Place: IS-CW and 10 Placement Points
4th Place: 9 placement Points
100,000 Conquest Points: Any pilot whose legacy earns over 100,000 conquest points for the Imperial guild, “Emperor’s Hammer” will be awarded 1 ORA and 8 Placement Points.
Republic Guild:
1st Place: IS-SW and 12 Placement Points
2nd Place: IS-BW and 11 Placement Points
3rd Place: IS-CW and 10 Placement Points
4th Place: 9 placement Points
100,000 Conquest Points: Any pilot whose legacy earns over 100,000 conquest points for the Republic guild, “Infiltrator Wing” will be awarded 1 ORA and 8 Placement Points.
NOTE: Pilots earning over 100,000 conquest points for both the Imperial and Republic guilds will be awarded 2 ORAs.
Example: “Pilot A” earned 1.2mil conquest and a 1st place finish for the Imperial guild, but did not place for the Republic guild, managing to earn 150,000 conquest points. “Pilot A” would be awarded one IS-SW, 2 ORAs, and given 20 “Placement Points” (12pts for placing 1st for the Empire and 8pts for reaching 100k conquest for the Republic).
Monthly Placements:
There will be four monthly placements calculated by the sum of “placement points” earned by pilots from each of the two SWTOR guilds each conquest week during a given month and awarded a single set of awards. Again, monthly awards only occur once per month and are calculated by placement points earned in both faction guilds.
The conquest dates calculated for the four months’ placements are as follows:
September: 3, 10, 17, 24
October: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29
November: 5, 12, 19, 26
December: 3, 10, 17
Awards:
The top four pilots, by total placement points each month will be awarded Iron Stars w/ Wings.
1st Place: IS-GW
2nd Place: IS-SW
3rd Place: IS-BW
4th Place: IS-CW
Ties: In the event there is more than one pilot with the same number of placement points, monthly placement will be determined by the total number of conquest points earned during that placement period.
Overall Placements:
At the end of the 16 weeks, concluding 11:00am GMT December 17, 2024, all placement points earned by members of both guilds will be tallied and the top pilots will be ranked and given the following awards:
1st Place: IS-PW & Title: “Legendary Conquest: Season 5 Champion of Star Wars: The Old Republic”
2nd Place: IS-GW
3rd Place: IS-SW
4th Place: IS-BW
5th Place: IS-CW
Ties: In the event there is more than one pilot with the same number of placement points, the final competition placement will be determined by the total number of conquest points earned throughout the entire competition period.
Remaining: 2 months, 12 days

Each week on Monday evening (usually), Phoenix will send out a link pointing to five trivia questions for everyone to answer. The trivia questions will come from the canon Star Wars Universe. Responses are due the following Monday before Phoenix releases the next set of questions. Bonus questions may be sent out intermittently, either attached to a normal week or coinciding with a holiday or special event. Answering these questions will count towards the participation rewards, but not the weekly/monthly/overall awards. == Point System == It's pretty mathy, but the formula is: # Correct + (5 / Time in Seconds) * 1.5 The intent is for all players to earn points based on how many correct answers they provided and the amount of time it took to provide those answers while still providing the most points for players that provide all five correct answers. Example: If GN Frown answered all five questions correctly in 45 seconds, he'd earn 5.167 points that week. If LC Tempest answered two questions correctly in 35 seconds, he'd earn 2.214 points that week. For any participant that has access to more than one database PIN, uses both to access the trivia and the second entry has a significantly quicker time than the first, the second entry will not be eligible for any time-related scoring bonuses. == Weekly Awards == First place weekly from the Corps - IS-SR Second place weekly from the Corps - IS-BR == Monthly Awards == First place monthly from the Corps - IS-GR Second place monthly from the Corps - IS-SR Third place monthly from the Corps - IS-BR == End of Season Awards == Note: For the End of Season awards, each player's average will be the sum of their best 19 weeks, meaning that their lowest two weekly scores will be dropped. First place overall from the Corps - IS-PR and the title Trivia Grand Tour Season Eight Champion Second place overall from the Corps - IS-GR Third place overall from the Corps - IS-SR Fourth place overall from the Corps - IS-BR == Participation Rewards == IS-CR for every 50 correctly answered questions. IS-SR for correct answers at the following landmarks: 327 - Docking bay aboard the Death Star where the Millennium Falcon was captured (and later “escaped”) 725 - The odds against surviving a night on the frozen surface of Hoth IS-GR for correct answers at the following landmark: 1138 - In honor of The Maker Participation totals are carried over from comp IDs 2623, 2696, 2741, 2869, 2893, 2947, 2957, 2979, 3003, 3038, 3047, 3053, 3055, 3103, 3222, 3244, and 3266.
Remaining: 1 month, 5 days
