The Star Wars: The Old Republic site has been updated with a new developer blog that lays out the details on a forthcoming feature called "Galactic Command". According to the post, Galactic Command is a new progression system for Premium players at level 70. Essentially, everything in the game universe is collected into a single interface that can then be used to que for missions, story chapters, flashpoints, operations, PvP warzones, Galactic Strfighter complete with difficulty level.
Completing the new Command Bonuses every day will yield Command Experience. In addition, almost anything done in game yields more Command Experience that raises Command Rank and reward items called Command Crates. The more difficult the content completed, the more CE is earned.
Starting with Knights of the Eternal Throne, players will be able to choose whether they are fighting for the dark or light side of the Force™. Upon doing so, all actions, including killing elite enemies, completing Missions, and making story choices will contribute to the ongoing dark vs. light side war on each server .
These Dark and Light side choices will influence the balance of the two sides of the Force on each server, reflected on the dark vs. light side meter shown at the bottom of the Galactic Command interface. As one side begins to dominate, players will begin to see the impact all around them. For example, if the dark side is growing stronger (i.e. reaching “Dark 4”), suddenly players may see Sith Acolytes begin spawning and attacking Alderaan and Tatooine!
