If you're an active Star Wars: The Old Republic subscriber, it's time to saddle up and jump in your starfighter. As promised, subscribers can now access the new Galactic Starfighter free expansion, which brings 12v12 PvP free-flying space battles to the ongoing Star Wars MMO.

Subscribers will also receive exclusive rewards, including custom paint jobs, two pilot suits, and the "Test Pilot" and "First Galactic Starfighter" custom titles. There's no minimum character level required to participate in space battles and players will be able to customize their starfighters, as seen in the trailer below.

Subscriptions begin at $14.99 for 30 days. Players with Preferred Status (anyone who makes an online store purchase) can get Galactic Starfighter on January 14, while everyone else will receive the expansion on February 4.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
