MMORPG.com Star Wars Galaxies Correspondent RJ hubbard writes this interesting piece on various collections found in SOE's Star Wars Galaxies.

Collections have been part of SWG for over a year now; there are literally hundreds of collections to complete. Some simply give XP whereas others grant cool rewards like titles, weapons, pets, DNA, decorator items, abilities, etc. Here is a quick guide to some of most rewarding or fun collections. It’s by far not definitive and certainly not inclusive – as with anything SWG, the value of the reward depends on the player and play style.

Contraband Collection

I have to admit, this is my favorite collection and yes, it IS because I am an old school smuggler/pistoleer. How could I NOT like a collection of contraband that rewards me with a cool kinetic based pistol with unique animation, skin, sound effect, and range bonus?

Complete the following collections by finding all five pieces of each:

its always a pleasure to write about the features of SWG - I don't think they're promoted enough

Great article, thanks! It is easy to forget about some of these collections and the contraband notes will be very helpful for me :)

it was a fun article. Made me realize just how in depth these collections are.  It's not "pre-cu complex" but its still complex... take the fish tanks for example. Not only do you need the schematic but you need other parts like bubbling rocks, tubing, etc which are all collection drops - same goes for the NS jewlery. To craft it, there are other drops you need. You can make a career out of just those alone. Yeah, it's a timesink but people enjoy doing it so how can you fault it?

I enjoy the collections that give an item as a reward, XP and badges are not as cool to me. I got the server first on SS for the tauntaun holopet/emitter. I just wish the emitter was repeatable.
