+1 I'd recommend the following battalions stay:
ST, 501ST, 212TH, RANCOR, 41ST, 104TH, 21ST + SOBDE.
This would help keep strong player bases not only for the battalions but the server. Nobody wants to play alone. The main reason people come back to the server is to hang with their battalion.
I think the cut back in battalions would help refine the server where it actually matters.
I'm sure every one has there sentimental mindset where they wouldn't want to lose their battalion but grow up. The name and color isn't why you're here, the people are. And I think it'd help alot if a 128 player server isnt spread across 13 battalions, and Jedi and Event stuff.
