Download launcher — Windows 64-bit

First run installs the full game (~3 GB). Keeps itself — and the galaxy files — current.

Install

Make a folder, e.g. C:\Games\Stardust (or use a copy of an existing SWGEmu folder).
Unzip the download there and run Pre9Launcher.exe.
First run downloads and verifies the game, then asks you to run Options once (resolution/audio). Click Play when it turns green.

Windows SmartScreen may warn about an unknown publisher: choose “More info” → “Run anyway”.

Using your own launcher or an existing install?

Any SWGEmu Pre-CU 14.1 client can join without Pre9Launcher — configure it by hand (you take over keeping these current; they change when the server updates, so re-check this page after each release below):

Remove any older pre9_jedi_r* lines and files.

In swgemu_login.cfg:

[ClientGame]
loginServerAddress0=login.stardust.swg.ninja
loginServerPort0=44553

Optional quality-of-life (in user.cfg, and make sure swgemu.cfg has .include "user.cfg" uncommented):
```
[SwgClient]
	allowMultipleInstances=true

[ClientGame]
	0fd345d9=true
```

Verify downloads against /api/v1/checksums?path=<file> (sha256); the full file manifest is at /api/v1/files. Launch SWGEmu.exe directly — never the official LaunchPad (it reverts cfg edits).

What's changed on this server

2026-07-04 — Grand opening, take two: the full MTG set

Five custom planets are OPEN: Chandrila, Coruscant, Jakku, Moraband and Hutta. (Kaas needs terrain data that never surfaced — it stays closed for now.)
The complete ModTheGalaxy archive set is now distributed with the client: custom species content, appearances, textures and the MTG planets. First sync after this update downloads roughly 5 GB of new archives.
Almost all of the custom loot that lost its art earlier today got it back — original armor sets, rare weapons and decoratives drop with their real looks and stats again. (One knuckler keeps a stand-in model.)
Two galaxies on one account: Stardust Fun (main) and Stardust Dev (test). Fresh database — accounts are created automatically on first login.
