SW: Galaxies - Chapter 9 Preview @ RPG Vault

A preview of the upcoming free add-on, Chapter 9, has been published at IGN's RPG Vault:

Chapter 9 of Star Wars Galaxies will feature a new heroic encounter, the Temple of Exar Kun. These instances are design to provide high-level challenge for our players. They are instanced, scripted encounters where a group of them faces elite tests, and they allow us to create a custom event per chapter that feels completely unique. For example, we started the heroics system with an IG-88 battle in his droid factory, moved onto a Tusken raid on Mos Entha where players battled a new Tusken King boss, and then took players out to space and into a rogue Star Destroyer. In addition to their uniqueness, these encounters allow us to place some crazy high-end loot for the players that's not available to them anywhere else.

The preview also contains three exclusive screenshots.
