Are you ready? We’ve been given hints and clues about what we can expect, and where decorations could possibly come from. But what can you do to get ready for the big date?

Listen to the cast on gaddockgaming.com! JD has some really interesting ideas about how PvP can be incorporated into strongholds, including allowing players to “create their own warzones” and allowing large multi-player fights in a controlled environment.

We know it’s coming, but not the specifics. There are still so many unanswered questions about player housing. Here’s just a small sample of them.

Star Wars: The Old Republic players have been requesting a smaller apartment stronghold for quite a while now, and the developers have responded with two new Penthouse strongholds located on the Republic and Imperial fleets. The Republic Fleet Stronghold (properly called the Carrick Station Penthouse in-game), has only four rooms, and is much smaller than the other strongholds, but still has six hundred hooks available for decorating and cool view of space and of the VIP lounge of the Fleet.
Public Test Server Information, subject to change
To unlock access to the Republic Penthouse, you will need to purchase a “deed” items from the Galactic Seasons vendor. The deed costs 7 Galactic Seasons tokens, and subscribers would receive their seventh token by the time they reach Galactic Seasons Level 62, and free-to-play players can only earn a total of 4 tokens per season.
This Deed and the use of it transfers ownership of one Carrick Station Penthouse from its former owner (the grantor) to the new owner (the grantee) as defined by statute of the Galactic Republic. This deed is non-transferable to those outside of your Legacy. This deed may not be resold. Per regulatory statute of the Carrick Station, only those who have standard grade Station access are permitted within the Penthouse at any given time. (You can’t buy or sell the stronghold deed on the GTN or give it to a friend, [[you can not invite Imperial players to the stronghold]]. )
During the final months of the Great Galactic War, the Republic became desperate to develop a new hyperroute for supplies in their conflict with the aggressive Sith Empire. To facilitate their new route, a nearly forgotten supply base known as Outpost 22 was returned to full service. By the time the Treaty of Coruscant was signed and the war had ended, Outpost 22 had become such a major hub of activity as to be as indispensable a gathering place as the capital world itself. The base was given a new and significant identity–Carrick Station–in dedication to Zayne Carrick, a once-unassuming Padawan who rose to a position of great importance during the Mandalorian Wars.
This modest penthouse apartment is located in the upper levels of Carrick Station, the Republic’s primary space station. Such prime real estate is reserved for powerful and well-connected individuals. It features state-of-the-art architecture, a magnificent view, and a high-grade security system to ward off unwanted solicitors.
Your initial unlock gets you a small entry area, a main room, two windowed rooms and a large octagonal room. One of the windowed rooms overlooks the VIP Lounge on Carrick Station and the other overlooks space, ships, and Carrick Station’s exterior. This is a copy of Carrick Station – you will not be able to see other players running around if you look down out the window. You do hear cantina music in the cantina-facing room.

Thirteen images of upcoming stronghold decorations have been released through the thumbdrive given away during the Los Angeles Community Cantina. From the Firebrand tank to the Ancient Voss Sarcophogus, we still don’t know how we’ll be able to get these decorations… but at least we can see them.

Trying out the PTS, I wanted to share my “varactyl room”. There is a limit on how many “living” creatures you can put in your house though, boo! This is almost all the interesting decorations I have.

Bought with Warzone Commendations
Warzone Commendations can be gained by playing warzones, and are character-bound. Doing you daily and weekly quests from the PvP terminals is the best use of your time for gaining warzone commendations.
The Warzone Decorations Vendor is in the “Crew Skills & Strongholds” section of the fleet, in the same room as the flagship console and conquest vendor. It is not in the PvP section!
