86SGre

86SGre is a popular online gaming community and platform primarily focused on the *Star Wars Galaxies* (SWG) massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). Launched in 2005, the site became a hub for players seeking immersive role-playing experiences, particularly in the *Star Wars* universe. The name "86SGre" is derived from the in-game faction "Star Wars Galaxies Republic" and the year 2006, reflecting its early origins.

The platform operates as a fan-driven wiki and discussion forum, allowing users to share lore, character profiles, and role-playing guidelines. It emphasizes deep immersion, encouraging players to adhere to strict in-character (IC) rules, including proper dialogue, faction loyalty, and adherence to the game’s lore. The community fosters a collaborative environment where players develop complex storylines, alliances, and rivalries within the game’s sandbox setting.

Over time, 86SGre expanded beyond *Star Wars Galaxies*, engaging with other *Star Wars* media, including *The Old Republic* and *Knights of the Old Republic* (KOTOR). However, its core focus remains on SWG, where it remains influential in shaping player-driven narratives. The site also hosts events, such as lore contests and role-playing challenges, to encourage creativity and engagement.

While 86SGre is not an official Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) platform, it serves as an unofficial resource for players seeking to enhance their role-playing experience. The community’s emphasis on authenticity and storytelling has made it a respected reference for long-time SWG enthusiasts. As the game’s player base has evolved, 86SGre continues to adapt, maintaining its role as a key resource for those invested in the game’s rich, player-driven universe.
