The second chapter of the Star Wars Galaxies, "The Talus Incident",brings into the table new quest series building off of Chapter 1's quest series, "The Corellian Captives". So what could be in store for you in the second chapter? The heat is on in Restuss as the Galactic Civil War reaches an intense and deadly level. Everybody seems to be getting sucked up into the civil war, including Corellian Security Force (CorSec) Officer Dathnaeya Loessin.

As both forces -- the Empire and the Rebellion -- flex their powers, Dathnaeya Loessin must make a decision: should she fight for the empire or aid the rebellion? This is where you enter the picture. Having been a great help in finding The Corellian Captives, she turns to you for answers. You are then tasked to investigate military contractors and try to uncover the truth about the Empire and the Rebellion for CorSec.

The guys responsible for Star Wars Galaxies would be giving you some chapter goodies. This chapter will have a short-duration, military grade buff that will heal your wounds in combat as you take damage. A new feature called Auto Aim Targeting would enable you to take lock on to any target to ensure you are engaging the enemy target you choose in the heat of battle. To make use of the new targeting options, open your keymap options and select the key bindings for "Toggle Safety" and "Set Intended Target."

The new chapter will also feature a new expertise system which aims to give your character more depth. Starting at level 10, the Jedi will earn Expertise points that can be spent on specialized Expertise abilities. This new feature allows you to develop a variety of different Light and Dark Jedi abilities for your character. Aside from that, Bounty Hunter Expertise is also making its presence felt in this chapter. First Strike, Defensive Tank, and Sustained Damage are all different ways that you can specialize your Bounty Hunter using the Expertise System.

Also, the chapter made room for static galactic civil war bases. Following the battle in Restuss, both forces have intensified their efforts to oppose one another. Both sides have identified what they believe are strategic locations that are important to their operations. Strategic places such as Talus, Naboo and Corellia are now the causes of heated conflict as both sides attempt to control them.

Characters also get their makeovers. Humans, Zabrak, and Twi'leks get an appearance improvement in Chapter 2! These playable species have been upgraded so that your character's customized details take advantage of the latest visual technologies. Skin tones will look richer and more natural; body details will be more distinct and other details will be more striking.
