Launched in August 2011, these new battles comprised the second major part of the Galactic Civil War update that began with Game Update 15. Plans for a fully fledged space version of the ground-side Invasions had been teased by developers for a long time, and full details about what they had planned was announced at Fain Faire 2011. Developers promised capital ships laying siege to space stations, and three new ships, the T-Wing Interceptor, TIE Defender and Havoc Starfighter, as well as a craftable version of the Vaksai Starfighter.
