Galactic News: By decree of Darth Vader and the Emperor himself, any abandoned structures (*abandoned since April 2006 or longer) in the galaxy will be demolished by the Empire’s forces beginning June 12, 2007.

Rumor has it that the demolition plan is merely another tactic in the battle between the Rebel Alliance and the Empire. However, the Empire’s forceful threat has opened an incredibly lucrative opportunity for realtors across the galaxy who suddenly find themselves in the center of a galactic land grab. To add to the chaos, there are rewards being offered to citizens who support the demolition plan by finding and demolishing structures with the “abandoned” tag. Once you see the sign with the red “abandoned” text, simply click on the radial menu and choose “Structure Management >> House Pack-Up” to initiate the bombing by the crew from Galactic Vacant Building Demolitions and watch it fall! It is a trader’s paradise that makes even Jabba himself salivate, and is motivating many to journey across the galaxy beginning on June 12, 2007 to find and destroy the identified vacant structures.

Those looking for a way to acquire some very rare and valuable items for either their personal collection, or just to make a profit, will be certain to support the demolition effort. Rewards include an Imperial painting, a Rebel painting, an INS-444 Holo-Pet Droid, CLE-004 Holo-Pet Droid, Xeno couch, and other luxury items all available from the Lucky Despot! For every house or structure they destroy, citizens earn one point that can be used to purchase these very intriguing items.

Although the destruction does not start until June 12, the only way to participate is by being an active member of the galaxy…and that means coming back to the galaxy on or before May 17. Although nothing is ever what it seems with the Emperor, this sounds like the event of the galaxy! Remember, tell all your friends and anyone who has an abandoned house in your city – an opportunity like this only comes once in a galactic moon cycle!
