NOTES:
Tython, Ord Mantell, and Coruscant are Republic only.
Korriban, Hutta, and Dromund Kass are Empire only.
Balmorra and Taris exist for both factions, but they are separate instances. They are at different levels, and things are not in the same places. You won’t see players of the opposite faction on these planets.
The rest of the planets are shared, however each faction has its own landing area or spaceport. Bases and taxis are faction specific, and are guarded by level 50 Champion NPCs, usually turrets. Some areas are faction specific, and entering the enemy’s territory will flag you for PvP. It is possible to map the entire planet, although it may entail some quick turn arounds and suicide runs!
Some of the shared planets have areas that are only accessible by one faction. On Tatooine, Imperials may not enter Anchorhead, and Republic players cannot enter Mos Illa. On Corellia, the Blastfield Shipyards are Republic only, while Incorporation Islands are Imperial.
There are some areas that are only accessible by taxi, such as those on Courscant and Nar Shaddaa, although each of those has two areas you can walk between. Anchorhead and Mos Illa on Tatooine are isolated, and each sector of Corellia is separated and you must take the rocket tram to travel between them.
Nar Shaddaa is a little weird. The map appears the same for each faction, but the names are different in some areas. Some areas are shared, and there’s a contested area where you’ll get flagged for PvP. Each faction has its own taxi pads and quick travel points. There are a lot of levels to the different sectors that are not shown on the main map!
