Sony Online has produced a lengthy FAQ about the free character transfer program for Star Wars: Galaxies. The FAQ includes everything from why they do it, how long the free promotion will last, and how to start the process.

Free character transfers are coming to Star Wars Galaxies early next year!

A list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) is now available to let you know more about items that will and will not transfer during the upcoming promotion. More details about this promotion, including dates and a list of servers, will be released at a later time.

Chapter 11: The Battle of Echo Base includes a number of improvements to the character transfer service (CTS). Please note that some of the items listed below do not transfer at this time if you are paying to transfer a character before Chapter 11 launches. Once Chapter 11 is released, items such as factory crates and resources will transfer. However, vendors and the contents of vendors will not transfer even when Chapter 11 is live.

The details found below about items, names, character slots, player associations, vendors, and server firsts apply to both standard (paid) character transfer and the free character transfer service promotion. The only difference between free CTS and standard CTS is that a same account transfer between certain designated galaxies during the free CTS period will be free of charge.
