Star Wars: The Old Republic: Galactic Strongholds

Star Wars: The Old Republic: Galactic Stronggholds is the third Digital Expansion for The Old Republic, and it was first officially announced on March 19, 2014 with an intended release to the general public in August 2014. It gives players the ability to purchase and customize in-game homes, or "strongholds", as well as guild capital ships.

Announcement and promotion
At the beginning of the year, BioWare announced that they would be releasing two more expansions in 2014 after Galactic Starfighter, which released in February. Galactic Strongholds was not confirmed or even hinted at during this time. Prior to the official announcement, Galactic Strongholds was teased as the "SSHP", or "Super Secret Housing Project". On one of the game's community live streams, the developers release a short teaser displaying a character walking through an apartment on Coruscant. Nothing else was said about the expansion until the official announcement on March 19.

Much like the release of Galactic Starfighter, there were a variety of benefits announced for subscribers and preferred access players. Subscribers will be given early access to the expansion on June 24, 2014, along with a free Nar Shaddaa apartment, a "Stronghold Label", and a Character title. Preferred players will receive early access on July 29, 2014. Preferred players will be granted the label and the title, but without the free apartment. The rest of the general public will get access to the expansion in August 2014, and will be given only the bonus character title.
