The [[Freedom Base]] quest involves avoiding [[Pirates]] that spawn upon accepting the quest and also spawn randomly. This makes it more of a challenge than simply delivering a few crates of medicine. Three [[Pirates]] spawn per person who accepts the quest with a maximum of 9 [[Pirates]] per server. Prior to the public release, there was no max amount of [[Pirates]], leading to swarms of [[Pirates]] able to take down an entire fleet of Dreadnoughts. The [[pirates|Pirate]] [[Osprey]] was removed to make it a bit easier for players to destroy the other ships. The [[Pirates|Pirate]] [[Starblade]] was also later removed for being too OP with backward firing torpedoes, aimbot, and ramming, leaving only the [[Pirates|Pirate]] [[Avenger]]. [[Pirates]] will attack any ships (including [[Aliens]]) that approach the Freedom base. It is recommended to kill the [[Pirates]] first before delivering the medicine. Most people that complete the quest either had support ships taking out the [[Pirates]] or tried their luck with an army of [[Wyrm]]s/traders. Many players found great entertainment in watching large "Alien Fleets" fight dozens of [[Pirates]]. (As of February 2018, the quest rewards have been shutdown via Roblox's request; while you still can complete the 2 quests in game, you can no longer earn the event prizes linked to the 2016 Galaxy Star Wars event.)

The [[Military HQ]] was also added to Galaxy during this event. It currently serves no purpose and does not spawn in regular servers.
