Sony Online Entertainment is asking Star Wars Galaxies players to help recruit new members of the Rebel, Imperial and neutral forces as part of the Galactic Civil War. To participate in the Buddy Initiative, all you need to do is have your friend download the 14-day free trial and try out the game. Once they convert their trial account to an active account, both of you will receive rewards.

The new recruit will get a Holocron of Knowledge that will raise any new character to level 50. The veteran buddy will get a token that can be claimed for one of four rewards, including an exclusive Light Bending Gasgano Podracer. A veteran player can get all four rewards on one character by inviting four friends to play Star Wars Galaxies. The offer ends on Oct. 15 at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
