The LEGO Universe community has answered the call, recently completing construction on Nexus Tower, the biggest in-game structure ever built. As Nexus Tower opens its doors soon, tons of new content is being released for all players to explore and enjoy. Nexus Tower serves to protect Imagination from the chaotic Maelstrom, and is the new headquarters for the four Factions of the Nexus Force coalition.
This will include new characters, weapons, Faction-specific pets, and over 50 new missions, as well as access to the new LEGO Universe Vault system for safe-keeping extra models and gear.

As the Faction Leaders set up shop in Nexus Tower, players will finally be able to meet their fearless leaders for the first time, performing missions, receiving rewards and learning more about the LEGO Universe history from its founders: Duke Exeter, the mighty warrior of the honorable Sentinels; Dr. Overbuild, the master builder of the Assembly Faction; Hael Storm, a born explorer known for his wise-cracking antics in the Venture League; and Vanda Darkflame, who’ll win her battles by any means necessary for the Paradox, the most mysterious Faction of all.

By popular demand, a massive Vault in Nexus Tower has been constructed - the perfect place to store all of those items, treasures, models and goodies that players don’t want to lug around in their Backpack! Rumor has it that players may also be able to remotely access Vaults with a special Property Safe.

Here’s a peek at other new content, gameplay updates and improved functionality that players can look forward to:

* New Daily Missions - Embark on 20+ new Daily Missions available from the Faction Reps!
* New Rockets - Blast off in a new ride inspired by Nexus Tower, the Nexus Talon Dropship or the famous Venture Koi!
* Faction pets - Players can complete furry new quests to obtain their special Faction pet.
* Commendation Vendor - Have you sold or deleted some of your Mission and Achievement Rewards, but now you’d like them back? No problem, just visit Admiral Honor Accolade in the Sentinel vendor area in Nexus Tower. He has lost and forgotten treasures in stock now!
* New Items Galore - Other vendors throughout Nexus Tower sell amazing new items and gear. Use the Foreman’s Radio to drop a piano on your enemies, or the Man Eating Plant to gobble them up! And when you really want to pound on the Maelstrom, we’ve got two words for you: Mole Whacker!
* New Reward Models - Build on your Property with the new Construction Set, Office Set and an even larger selection from the Micro City Set!
* Upgraded Launch Pads - Launch pads have been reconfigured to select the first rocket in players’ Backpacks.
* Multi-Missions - Some mission givers will now offer more than one mission at once. Accept as many or as few as you like.
