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!
