Cloning

Cloning is the term used in Star Wars Galaxies to refer to the system that allows your character to respawn after being killed. When your character dies, a menu will pop up with your cloning options. These options will always include "Closest Facility" and/or "Pre-Designated Facility".

You can always clone to the nearest cloning facility but let's say that you decided you want to go to a specific place regardless of where you died. To do this you would need to go to the cloning facility in the city you want to respawn in and pay a cloning fee to save your characters clone at that location. Now if you die you will have two options "Closest Facility" and/or "Pre-Designated Facility". The designated facility is the one you saved your clone at while the closest will vary depending on your location.

It is of note that just because you save your clone at a location does not mean that you saved your character, you have only specified the prefered location to clone at. If you choose to clone at the closest facility, then you will incur adverse affects to your character. When you clone in Star Wars Galaxies you will retain all the experience and skills that you had earned up to the point of your death, however you will also retain all of your wounds and battle fatigued incurred in the fighting up to that point.


Should your cloning options fail to appear for some reason, you can use the command /activateclone

If that still does not work for you use the emergency only command /activateclone now


Characters that do not store their cloning data in a facility will incur 100 wounds to all of their primary stats in addition to 100 battle fatigue if they clone without having designated a preferred cloning destination. Starting characters may clone up to 3 times before they must begin paying fees to a particular cloning terminal in order to escape incurring wounds and battle fatigue from cloning. Players may have only one pre-designated cloning position at a time. In the case of being off-world from their prior pre-designated position, they must use the cloning terminal on the current planet they are on to store their data on that world.


Note on Jedi:


Jedi have unique cloning destinations in the forms of force shrines. When killed, a jedi player may have a choice to clone at any one of the shrines available on the particular planet in addition to the normal cloning rules. If a jedi chooses to use a shrine then they will not suffer wound/battle fatigue upon cloning.
