Galactic Seasons 8 “Rising Powers” will begin with the launch of Game Update 7.6.1 on March 11! Once the update goes live, players will be able to make progress through the Free Reward track or the Subscriber Reward track (both tracks are available to Subscribers!) and earn new rewards. Below are the details of what players can expect from this new season!


Uprisings with a twist!

For the duration of Galactic Seasons 8 (GS8), players will be encouraged to jump back into Uprisings to complete their weekly objectives. While similar to Flashpoints, Uprisings are fast paced 4-player group content that can be completed quickly. Each Uprising is available in Story, Veteran, and Master Mode. All modes can be accessed through the terminals in the Combat Training section of the fleet. Veteran Mode Uprisings are also available through the Activities Window for players who are looking to group up with others. 

Previously, Uprisings were available to Subscribers between levels 75 and 80. Beginning with 7.6.1, this content will now be available for all players beginning level 10 and will remain openly accessible after the season ends. 

At the start of “Rising Powers”, none other than Kai Zykken will reach out with an offer to test a new adrenal boost created by Czerka. These Experimental Combat Enhancers have a variety of effects that can give you a special buff. Upon using the combat enhancer, you will receive the following buffs that will last for the duration of the Uprising:  

  • Destruction Overload - Every 5th enemy that is defeated will explode causing a damaging AOE effect
  • Czerka Combat Drones - Drones will assist you in taking your enemies down
  • Unstable Radiation Field - A devastating point blank AOE will help you decimate your enemies

Be careful though! Your enemies may also benefit from combat enhancers as well, so stay sharp!

These Experimental Combat Enhancers can be found on the Galactic Season reward track and in Ki’at Thavo’s inventory during the season.

As with previous Seasons, there will be a Free and Subscriber track that players can earn rewards from as they complete objectives and progress through Galactic Seasons 8.
