Welcome to SWGCreatures, your #1 Star Wars Galaxies Creature Resource! Here you can find detailed listings of all the creatures in the Star Wars Galaxies Universe!
Update 2024.01.07 - In an effort to maintain the relevance of swgcreatures.info for current players, while preserving the nostalgia it brings to many, I have implemented several updates. The core data and overall layout of the site remain unchanged. However, improvements have been made to the site's font, font size, and spacing to enhance navigation and readability. The site menu has also been revised by removing outdated resources and adding relevant ones. To facilitate more detailed filtering and sorting of creature data, a new menu link has been added, directing users to a Baserow table that contains all the creature data used to build this site. Additionally, each creature's detail page now includes a link to view the data in JSON format. I hope these updates and the added data enhance your experience with the site. Thank you for your continued interest. May the force be with you.
Update 2023.12.26 - After having been back online for almost seven (7) years, and to ensure this site remains online for at least another seven, over the holiday I built and migrated this site to an all new virtual server. Using my preferred hosting provider AWS, the new server was built with the latest Windows OS, SQL Database engine and additional virtual hardware resources. New Cloudflare hosted security measures have been added and existing measures expanded to thwart ongoing efforts to compromise the security and responsivness of this site. I continue to maintain this site out of my love for the Star Wars Universe, Star Wars Galaxies, and you the dedicated players. If you run into any issues, or just want to reach out and say hello, please feel free to contact me by the email address listed below. May peace and good health be with you in the real world and SWG universe.
2016.02.28 - After a long absence SWGCreatures is back online as the #1 Star Wars Galaxies creature resource. Using a combination of original source code provided by Juntao Ta'kor and a variety of sources and means SWGCreatures has been restored back to it's Pre-CU state. With only one surviving backup and much of the original site content altered or lost due to hackers, restoration was challenging but not unsurmountable. Restoration took several weeks and was accomplished by combining SWGEmu open source LUA files, data manually scraped from WayBackMachine.org and whatever viable information could be recovered from the original site backup. Even though all creature data now comes from the SWGEmu project, most of the other SWGCreatures content was recovered including 6100 forum posts, 4200 comments, 4600 sightings, 750 pictures, 3700 Pre-CU DNA samples, the BE DNA Laboratory script and more.
The following data sources were used in the recovery of SWGCreatures
Creature Details - Creature data was mined from SWGEmu Core 3 project LUA files. Data was reviewed against the latest Prima Guide and/or WaybackMachine.org for accuracy. The original site backup creature data was compromised or contained information from the post-Pre-CU period. Creature IDs - All creatureID values are identical to the original site making it easy to compare with data from WayBackMachine and other sources. Creature Pictures - Restored by combining pictures from the original site backup and WayBackMachine.org. Creature Comments - Restored from the original site backup. Creature Sighting - Restored from the original site backup. DNA Samples - Recovered by manually scraping WayBackMachine.org snapshots taken of the orignal site on or before 4/27/2005. DNA Laboratory - Restored from the original source code and fully functional when using Chrome or Firefox. Forum Posts - Restored from the original site backup. Note: The restoration process and removal of malicious script tags has exposed phpBB tags as plain text. Hyperlinks - Updated and annotated with one of the following reference numbers.
1. Link changed to WayBackMachine.org version due to dead link. 2. Link removed due to dead link; WayBackMachine.org version unavailable.
Although some of you may be disappointed, I did not restore SWGCreatures to re-establish the great community that made this site what it was. I did it to provide an up to date creature resource for current SWGEmu players and as a Pre-CU historical reference for the SWGEmu community. Like many of you I have a deep passion for SWG and am committed to maintaining and enhancing this site for the benefit of the players and SWGEmu community.
Many of the sites that were created during the original SWG era are now gone and unlike those sites I didn't want that fate to also fall upon SWGCreatures. I hope this site brings back fond memories and provides the SWGEmu community another valuable resource to use in their efforts to restore SWG back to Pre-CU.
Thanks to the dedicated developers and players Star Wars Galaxies Pre-CU lives on with SWGEMU and the many servers based on it. SWGCreatures.info supports players of SWGEMU by continuing to host this PRE-CU creature resource site so that players who love Star Wars Galaxies like we do continue to have access to this information. A special thank you goes to Juntao Ta'kor for sharing his source code and backup data with me, upon which this site is based.
