Krymelord Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 At one stage in SWG's development the game was going to ship with 3 factions. The Rebel Alliance, The Empire and The Hutts. Last I heard about it was that it was not going to be included for the initial release of SWG, but was possibly going to be included after release. Most likely in the Space Expansion. Other than that I haven't heard much about it. The Hutts were out for now. That being said, there were plenty of us interested in it and it was most likely going to be put in, at a later date. I've been over here in the desert now for a while so I haven't been able to see anything about it. If anyone has a better grasp of where the Hutt Alliance stands for its introduction into the game, please let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-=ReApEr=- Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Ok thanks for the help Krymelord, i take it the hutts will be against all sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Moon Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Hmmm... I heard that Black Sun was going to be a faction at some point, and maybe the Hutts would be a subfaction in it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krymelord Posted May 6, 2003 Author Share Posted May 6, 2003 As a faction, my understanding was that the Hutts would be against both Rebels and Imps. Also Tatooine would have been under their control. But now... Maybe as more planets are added, factions will shift and the Hutts will be added... As for Black Sun, I never heard of it but that doesn't mean that it won't be the name they use. I just knew it as the Hutt Faction, almost a year ago when it was still "in".

Dark Moon Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 If they are planning on making a faction such as the Hutts, it would be better to create it as the faction Black Sun to include more criminal elements and not just be limited to the activities of the Hutss.

Dagobahn Eagle Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 One word: Balance. The Hutts would be HEAVILY outgunned when pitted against the Empire. I don't even think Black Sun comes close. But I agree, a smuggler's/pirate's faction would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=ReApEr=- Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 The hutts will deffintley do, and i doubt they will be overpowered as you will be on there turf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 The Hutt faction was for Bounty Hunters, Mercenaries, and other outlaws who wanted to be Neutral, but not NEUTRAL. You would get certain perks, just like being in the other Factions, and you wouldn’t have to participate in the GCW. I think that’s one of the reasons they took them out; if the game is focused around the GCW, and nobody participates… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Punisher Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 I don't think that was on the slang thread, what does GCW stand for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Yes it does, but I'll answer it anyway. It stand for Galactic Civil War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackrabbit Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 It is. It's a huge crime syndicate run by a Prince I think. I don't know much about it, but you could probably search Google. There is a PA out there that has the name Black Sun. I wonder if that will cause a problem later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Most likely, that PA will face the problem of not being able to use that name in the game, simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect they will easly change it Dark sun or something around that sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Moon Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 *IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT EU DON'T READ* Black Sun is the biggest group of organized criminals in the known universe and is run by Prince Xizor. The organization served the Emperor a lot durinf the GCW and at one ponit Prince Xizor was trying to snake his way above Vader in the Imperial hierarchy.
