BBP CUSTOMER NOTICE: The firm responsible for monitoring incubator activity for BBP wishes to apologize for the lack of concrete data concerning the unstable DNA situation. BBP wishes to make it known that those responsible have been terminated. BBP announcements have thus been reconfigured at great expense and at the last minute. Unstable DNA variations have completely usurped (and have therefore become) the native forms of all Crystal snakes, Spined snakes, and Fanned Rawl.

BBP CUSTOMER ALERT: BBP wishes to stress that the rumors of horrific experimentation upon small furry creatures on Dathomir are completely unfounded and unequivocally false. Through constant vigilance, BBP maintains the utmost in quality at all times. Persons found partaking in such slanderous attacks upon the integrity of BBP will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of Imperial Law. As a possible alternate explanation for what may be at the root of this slander, over the past several galactic standard cycles, BBP monitoring has established and confirmed an increasing number of unstable DNA variations. Initially reported in the species of Dantooine but quickly spreading through Naboo, Dathomir, and Lok, these DNA deviants appear to be supplanting the more stable native varieties and contaminating gene samples galaxy-wide. Unconfirmed reports even go so far as to claim such things as a Dantooine native species now possessing the genetic potential of a species indigenous to Lok. Select Heavy-use customers have already been urged not to underestimate the current genetic situation and to take all available precautions including, at the very least, the immediate cessation of all incubator activity until further notice. Third party bio-labs on multiple planets have confirmed BBP's initial findings, in many cases to their detriment; the identities of these third-party labs are being withheld pending notification of next-of-kin. These tragedies serve to indicate that it is during the laboratory processing that the unstable DNA presents the greatest risk and to underscore once more the severity of this situation. Again, BBP urges most strongly that all genetic experimentation activity cease and desist until further notice. :END ALERT

GALAXY-WIDE ALERT!!
If you missed this last year then make sure not to miss it again! Galaxy-renowned toymaker, Dr. Fool, has lost control of his latest inventions. If the current malfunctions continue at the existing rate, we expect containment to be lost at 12AM PDT, April 1st. Dr. Fool is known to have toy creation laboratories on Tatooine, Naboo, Lok, Corellia, and Endor. Citizens on those planets should be extra cautious and never attempt to approach these renegade toys alone. Citizens brave (or stupid) enough may attempt to disable these toys for recall at their own risk.
The good news is that, even if any of the inventions breach containment, they are expected to run out of power in 24 hours.
Missed the Toy Recaller Title from last year? Now is your chance to get it! Make sure to help your friends and / or get the title on your alternate characters as well. Remember, they are expected to run out of power in 24 hours.

Game Update 16: Star Wars Galaxies™: Stronghold of the Lok Revenants
On the planet of Lok located in the Outer Rim Territories, a well known Feeorin by the name of Nym leads a colorful band of pirates called the Lok Revenants. Their Stronghold is out of sight from the prying eyes of the Galactic Empire, but they aren't without problems. For the foolhardy, getting involved can mean a quick end on a barren, dusty planet. For those seeking a career opportunity as a pirate, the problems may just be opportunity. If you're the latter, contact Vana Sage in Nym's Stronghold.
