Ships Section
Updated |
To finish out our anniversary
celebration week, I have updated the Ships section with
two more updated ship pages. These pages have new information and now include a
Flash video of the ship to give you something a little more interesting. Today's
vehicles are the X-34 Landspeeder and the Sandcrawler. Going forward, I will
continue to update the Ships and Characters pages to be sure they have the latest
information. It won't be everyday as we have this week, but I will try to keep
them coming. Enjoy!

New Feature-Flash
Video |
As with every anniversary or major
update, I try to bring something new and fresh to Galactic Voyage. Since the
site has been online now for 7 years, I am starting to notice (with your help)
that many of the pages have become out dated with the completion of the movies
and the expansion of the Expanded Universe.
To remedy the situation, I am embarking on a long journey of inspecting all
the Ships and Characters
pages to be sure they have the latest information. Many of the source books
available today were not around when some of the pages were created.
While I am in the process of updating the information, I am also going to add
a Flash video of the character or ship to give you something a little more
interesting. Galactic Voyage will be the first Star Wars site to offer this
feature!
I will provide updated pages all week as part of the celebration, and then
will provide an updated page as often as possible. The calm before the storm
seemed to be a good time for something like this.
The first two ships that have been updated are the TIE Torpedo Bomber and the
Millennium Falcon. Look for more updated pages this week! Enjoy!

Happy Birthday
Galactic Voyage - Serving for 7 Years |
Hello everyone! I would just like
to let you all know that Galactic Voyage is 7 years old today! I started the
site on November 14 back in the last century (1999). Thank you to all who have
come and enjoyed Galactic Voyage and supported me for these many years! It has
been been a pleasure.
With out fans like you and an understanding wife
and kids, I would not have been able to keep this site going! I hope that
Galactic Voyage will continue to grow and prosper in 2007. Now we can look
forward to the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars and the new animated series and
live action T.V. show. Take care all! |
