Where in the real life world do you live? Just south of Cocoa Beach in sunny central Florida.

How long have you played Star Wars Galaxies? Four years.

What other MMOs have you played? Some Vanguard and, it saddens me to say, World of Warcraft.

What type of work do you do? I work in an Architecture and Engineering Department for a large home builder. Basically I draw house blueprints.

How long is your typical gaming session when playing Star Wars Galaxies? I do not have a "typical" session. I try to commit time to in-game and real life so it all depends on... well, my girlfriend!

What does a typical Star Wars Galaxies day consist of for you? My typical SWG is an all day event. My guild has a very active web site so I keep in touch through our forums, as well as staying active in the Wanderhome, Role-play, and General Discussion forums. It makes the work day go by quicker.

When I do get in game I typically hop onto our guild Ventrilo server. I'll check my mail, handle any guild matters, and see how everyone is doing in guild chat. Much of my time now is politics, policing my guild, and working with the community.

Once the politics are handled I'm looking for action. We are typically at war with multiple guilds so PvP is everywhere. We try to run the heroic encounters often so that has become part of my daily routine along with random crafting runs into the Death Watch Bunker and Reverse Engineering. My days are typically busy but I always find the time to hangout with friends.

What was the species and profession of your very first character? Human (Mandalorian), was a Bounty Hunter/Combat Medic/0004 Pistols.

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? I've always been into gaming as far as consoles go. I didn't get into MMOs until my girlfriend got it for me as a birthday present. She instantly regretted it.

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other than playing Star Wars Galaxies? I enjoy playing around with Photoshop, and nothing beats a few drinks with friends. I try to take advantage of the Orlando attractions and enjoy playing X-Box Live.

What is your highest character level in Star Wars Galaxies? I've got more CL 90s than I'd care to admit... okay, I think I've got 10 of them.

What species and profession is your main character? Dose Ordo is a level 90 human commando.

What do you like the most about the profession you have chosen for your main character? Well, a big factor would be that it allows me to wear my Mandalorian armor while still being useful in PvP and PvE. Commando is fun and it's come a long way from grinding Bols with my launch pistol, posting about how commandos should get tank vehicles.

What faction is your main character? Technically Dose is Imperial, but I make it perfectly clear that I'm loyal only to my vode (in Mando'a it means "brothers and sisters").

What is your favorite player owned ship? Dose flies a Vaksai fighter named Can'gal Ka'ra.

What is your favorite ground vehicle? It would have to be the armored BARC Command vehicle. I get shot at a lot so it's nice to have a speeder that's up to the task.

How did you choose your main character's name? The first name has a bit of a random story. It started as Dos (Spanish for "two") as I am the younger of twin brothers. Over the years it evolved into Dose. The last name Ordo is based on Canderous Ordo from the Knights of The Old Republic series.

Which current professions in Star Wars Galaxies have you NOT played? I've done them all at one point or another. I currently have one of everything, except the silly glow bat profession.

What is your favorite expansion? I'd have to say Jump to Lightspeed. It wouldn't be Star Wars without space.

What is your favorite planet? That would be Lok. It has become a home to me over the years, not to mention it matches my armor.

What is your favorite NPC? Well, I'm sure it's an easy guess but I would say it has to be Boba Fett.

What are the most credits you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters? That's a tough one, probably Mandalorian armor. I'm sure I've spent 100+ million credits on a part once or twice.

Do you have an item you no longer use but keep around for nostalgic reasons? If so what is it and why do you keep it? Many, Mandalorians take trophies and my city hall is full of them. Mostly armor, weapons, and Mandalorian-based decorations.

What do you like best about Star Wars Galaxies? Hands down Star Wars Galaxies has a better community than any other game.

Describe your best experience playing Star Wars Galaxies. Simple, the overall experience of taking part in my guild. I started the guild as a fresh face in the CU basically because there where no Mandalorian guilds around. I never planned to be a leader, or think that it would blow up to become what it is.

• Undefeated in guild wars
• Active in the PvP community for both factions
• 150+ members
• Server first on all heroics encounters with exception of ISD
• Fourth overall in game on Exar Kun encounter completion
• Brought role-playing to the front lines of Wanderhome
• Challenged the entire server to fight for the galaxy, and won in a climactic battle at Theed Palace

It has been an honor, and I look forward to what the future holds.
