Darth Malgus Conquest News - Jan 28th 2025

Another Total Galactic War came to an end today and Twin Suns Squadron was able to continue its streak of successfully conquering a planet during this event by claiming first place on Onderon this time. After a heated battle against Ace of Saints in December, we got away with coasting this past week, as we achieved victory with a mere 33 million points, the second lowest score of all first place winners, only "outdone" by Looking for Drama claiming Makeb with a bit over 31 million points. (I took it relatively easy myself, only scoring 100-400k on all 22 of my currently guilded characters...)

The scoreboard for Onderon at the end of Total Galactic War. Twin Suns Squadron finished in first place with over 33 million points, with the next guild in line scoring only 16 million points.

The rest of the scoreboard revealed some interesting stories as well this time. Ace of Saints were not discouraged by how horribly things went wrong for them last time and successfully managed to claim victory on Section X by beating Remnants of the Eternal Empire. Both of the "Remnants" guilds, who are long-standing competitors in Total Galactic War, had a rather disappointing week as Remnants of the Eternal Alliance was also beaten by Czech Alliance on Tatooine.

The Czechs (with whom TSS had its own run-in last year) could also happily lay claim to Ruhnuk, which appeared to be quite hotly contested this week, with both Jade Empire and Some Like it Hoth seemingly also making a push for first place but ultimately not quite cutting it.

Another planet that was actually fought over this past week was Corellia, where Bogan ultimately triumphed over Eternal Hunger, though according to one member of the former, "nobody in Bogan cares" and they simply may have succeeded by sheer strength of numbers.

Over on Imperial Taris, Sith went up against Sith as Sith Ascendancy fought Sith Dominion for first place, with the former coming out ahead by less than three million points. Meanwhile on Imperial Balmorra, Primordial Flame came in first place with over 64 million points, their highest score on record yet.

The highest score of all guilds was, somewhat surprisingly, achieved by Looking For Group on CZ-198, where nobody was even competing with them and yet they nearly achieved 168 million points. Is this a sign that the "Looking For" conglomerate may be gearing up to take on Ashla and Beyond Madness during regular Conquest weeks as well? We'll see!

Newcomers this week were Dynasty of Choas, whom I'd never noticed on the board before but who conquered Ilum with a strong showing of 80 million points without being driven by any direct competition. Out of Control, who first appeared on the scene in December, also managed to win a planet again, this time on Manaan (Invasion Zone).

Finally, in a somewhat random move, Beyond Sanity went to conquer Quesh - the exact same planet they conquered in the last Total Galactic War less than two months ago. They must really like those toxic fumes.

Meanwhile, abroad...

Congratulations to the Imperial branch of New Outriders (Intisar's guild) for conquering a planet for the first time in ten years and securing first place on Ossus over on Star Forge! Even though I was quite busy on Darth Malgus, I managed to squeeze in about 1.5 million points for them over the weekend so I could say I'd at least done my part. It's been great to see how excited everyone got over the whole thing. You know you'll want to do that again some time, right? (wink wink)

  1. I'm surprised TSS doesn't claim Tatooine as a default, given the presence of Twin Suns there, and expand your empire to other worlds. Still, grats on keeping your streak alive!

    1. In short, that's not really how it works. 🙂 We did conquer Tatooine twice in the past, but there's only so much you get out of "RP value". There are achievements for conquering all the different planets, and if we actually want to have a chance at first place and considering that we aren't a huge guild, we have to pick our targets carefully based on what other guilds do.

    1. Congratulations I suppose, though I'm pretty sure BRACTWO did that before at some point. 🙂
