Hi Holotable Heroes,

The current Galactic Challenge, Bounty Hunters vs. Empire on Bespin, features ship combat. In Tier IV and above, once the battle starts it may appear as though not much is happening. However, there is a Contraband button in the lower right corner of the screen. It’s blue and bigger than the other blue buttons. Go ahead and give that a tap to get the party started.

May the Force be with you.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We are aware of the following visual issues relating to Omicron upgrades:

• Omicron upgrades are sometimes displayed as Zeta upgrades in guild chat.
• Upgrading an Omicron ability can remove the Zeta upgrade visual indicator in both the character inventory and pre-battle screens.

While we are working on a fix for this issue, please note the above issues are confined to the visual representations of Omicron and Zeta upgrades in-game and do NOT otherwise impact gameplay or performance.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Today's update delivers items via inbox to players who were affected by the Conquest 10 issue in which players who were under 2 million Galactic Power were forced to join Easy mode rather than Normal Mode, despite having participated in Normal mode during past Conquests.

Contents:

• Maul shards x5
• Carbonite Circuit Board x20

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We are excited to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Lucasfilm with five characters from Star Wars Legends. These units will be released in a series of four Marquee events and culminating in a special Legacy event for Starkiller! The first unit required for Starkiller’s Legacy event is Dash Rendar.

Dash Rendar


This Scoundrel might be best known for the hefty 19-96 Kinetic Absorption Panels on his shoulders but Dash has done everything from training to be an officer at the Imperial Academy when he was younger to becoming a master pilot while exploring the Outer Rim of the galaxy to even helping the Rebellion overthrow the Empire.

As a Scoundrel leader, Dash enhances his squad when they have the Prepared buff. His Leader ability, Prepared for Anything, grants his Scoundrel allies additional bonuses based on th... Read more
