Star Wars Galaxies Friday Feature

SOE's official Star Wars Galaxies website has been updated with a new Friday Feature, this time revealing information about new collectables that can be found scattered across various planets in the Chapter 7 update.
Collectors are seeking new treasures that can be found on all planets in the galaxy. These objects are recent, prized discoveries, so existing items and enemies you have slain before Chapter 7 will not count toward completing a collection.

A collection begins when you come across a distinctive item, either in the environment around you or as loot dropped by a defeated creature. There are also treasure-seeking NPCs in certain parts of the galaxy that might be looking for someone to track down the particular valuables they're looking for.

Once you have started a collection, a system message will display and the Collections screen updates to show the progress of your treasure hunt.
