  • Adrenaline Rush: Through countless battles, fear has hardened you for combat allowing you use an adrenaline rush to your advantage. Your combat skills are quickened in the face of danger.
  • Last Man Standing: Seasoned by many battles, you alone have been the deciding factor between victory and defeat. Pushing yourself beyond the abilities of common soldiers, you are destined to be the last person standing.
  • Retaliation: After years in the battlefield, your mind has instinctively learned to suppress pain by immediately counter-attacking your enemies. As you are wounded, so shall they be wounded.
  • Unstoppable: Your body has become so used to pain and wounds that you ignore all but the most severe. When other solders would be on their knees begging for mercy, you will fight on...unstoppable.
  • Legendary Warrior: Soldiers and warriors throughout your faction recognize you as a legend. Your presence on the battlefield will dramatically boost the morale and combat abilities of those around you.
  • Imperial Airstrike: Your high rank in the Imperial army gives you the authority to call down a TIE Bomber to attack your enemies.*
  • Rebel Airstrike: Your high rank in the Rebel Alliance gives you the authority to call down an X-Wing to attack your enemies. *

[/font]
  • Officers are on active duty and active participation in the war is a must! Because commissioned Officers are on active duty, Officer Ranks* 7 and above decay over time. As a result, a percentage of your GCW ranking points will be lost each week.

    * Players holding the Rank of Officer, not the profession Officer.
  • No more than 40% of your current rank will decay in a single week.
  • As rank decays, an officer will need to earn enough GCW points to overcome the amount of rank that has decayed each week.
