Sony Online Entertainment just announced that character transfers in Star Wars Galaxies will be free starting April 26. Here are the details:

• To be eligible for free transfer, characters must be at least 90 days old and must be on your active Star Wars Galaxies account in good standing.
• After a character transfers for free, that character must wait at least 90 days before it can be transferred to another qualifying server for free again.
• Characters will not be able to transfer to the Starsider galaxy, but characters from Starsider will be able to transfer off of that server to another galaxy.
