The SWTOR developers sit down and have a chat with Samantha Béart, the voice behind the mysterious Darth Nul.

Galactic Threads is now available with Game Update 7.8 "Pursuit of Ruin"!

Galactic Threads Storyline

The next arc in the Legacy of the Sith storyline is here! While players have delivered a decisive blow to the Hidden Chain, tensions are running high after Mandalore Shae Vizla freed Darth Malgus from his prison. Players will join several allies as they seek answers to Shae's betrayal, Darth Nul's holocron, the Hidden Chain, and the looming threat of Darth Malgus.

Note: Players using a French or German client will be able to play Galactic Threads with English voices and French or German subtitles. Players can opt out of beginning the storyline and waiting until the French and German voiced dialogue is added. As soon as we have an update on French and German recordings, we'll share when players can expect these to be added!

Wreckage on Dantooine

A ship of unknown origin crashed into Dantooine’s surface. The damage from the crash caused the ship’s systems to behave erratically, infinitely expanding three of the biomes it was sustaining. The multitudes of flora and fauna that were aboard the ship now threaten to overtake Dantooine's native environment.

The Crash Site Outpost is a new area on Dantooine that level 80 players can travel to. There they will be met with new Dynamic Encounters and three unnatural biomes that were unexpectedly created by the crashed ship. Players that manage to level up the biomes completely will be able to take on a challenging 4–player boss called the Orbital Core.
