As we announced earlier this year, Game Update 6.3 "The Dark Descent" is introducing a new system called Galactic Seasons! The first season that players will experience is The Stranger from Kubindi. Throughout the next five months, players will be able to earn new and exciting rewards by actively completing Daily and Weekly Priority Objectives. The reward structure is split into two separate tracks: one is available for all players, no matter their Subscription status, and the second reward track is for Subscribers. We have a lot to discuss with this article, including Galactic Season Points, Daily/Weekly Priority Objectives, rewards, and much more!

Galactic Seasons Points

Players can progress through all 100 levels of Galactic Seasons by earning Galactic Seasons Points. Each Reward Level will require 8 Galactic Season Points to obtain, for a total of 800 Galactic Season Points over the course of the Season. There are three separate ways that players can earn these points:

• Logging into SWTOR
  • Earn Galactic Season Points through Login Rewards by simply logging in any 4 days of the week.
  • Free and Preferred players receive 4 Galactic Season Points per week.
  • Subscribers receive 8 Galactic Season Points per week.

• Completing Daily Priority Objectives
• Free and Preferred players receive 2 Galactic Season Points each.
• Subscribers receive 3 Galactic Season Points each.

• Completing Weekly Priority Objectives
• Free and Preferred players receive 8 Galactic Season Points each.
• Subscribers receive 12 Galactic Season Points each.

While Subscribers earn points at a faster rate, Free-to-Play and Preferred players will still be able to reach Reward Level 100 of Galactic Seasons, as long as they are diligent about completing Priority Objectives and logging into SWTOR. As the season progresses, a catch-up system will unlock, allowing players to spend in-game credits to catch up on season levels. Additionally, players may spend Cartel Coins at any time to jump ahead in progress. 

The primary avenue of earning Galactic Season Points, however, comes through Daily and Weekly Priority Objectives, so let's go more in-depth on what these entail.

Daily and Weekly Priority Objectives

These new types of objectives are found with a unique marker at the top of the Conquest Objective list. Priority Objectives may be replaced with a refresh: once a day for Daily Priority Objectives and once a week for Weekly Priority Objectives. The assignment of these objectives are random, so a group of friends could have different objectives! With that in mind, let's take a look at all the possible objectives.  

Each week, the Priority Objectives will shift from one region of the galaxy to another, and objectives will be relevant to the planets in that region. Sprinkled throughout each week are specialty requests from the new Kubaz Companion that this first Galactic Season is centered around: Altuur zok Adon. These missions require the player to tackle Priority Objectives that include locating and defeating Insectoids. After five weeks, the cycle starts again with the Week 1 objectives. Below is a listing of all potential Priority Objectives players could get for each of these weeks:

Ki'at Thavo, our other Galactic Seasons vendor, functions a bit differently. Ki'at's inventory is a select offering of Seasonal rewards found on the Subscriber reward track.

Once the Season concludes, Ki'at's inventory will open to everyone, giving Subscribers the opportunity to purchase rewards they might have missed out on.

FAQ

How much can I level up Altuur zok Adon?

• With all of the Companion gifts between the two reward tracks, Subscribers who reach level 100 will be guaranteed to have Altuur zok Adon at Rank 50 Influence by the end of the Season. 

How can I level Altuur zok Adon outside of Galactic Seasons?

• Just like other Companions, sending Altuur zok Adon on Crew Skill missions will increase his Influence. Additionally, the Commander's Compendium will increase his influence to Rank 50.

I got Altuur zok Adon to Rank 50 Influence on my main character, but what about leveling him on other characters?

• Once you have reached Rank 50 Influence with Altuur zok Adon, you will unlock a new Legacy Unlock that allows you to purchase Altuur's companion gifts with Credits. Visit Jaleit Nall, located in the Galactic Seasons alcove on the Fleet to purchase the gifts.

Will I be able to get both of the new Fleet Apartment Strongholds during this Season?

• It is intended for only one of the Strongholds to be obtainable during one Season, so you will be able to acquire the other in the following Season.

That's it for the in-depth review of our first Galactic Season: The Stranger from Kubindi. We broke down how to level up through the Season, what Priority Objectives players can expect to encounter, and most importantly, what cool rewards are up for grabs! This system will officially be live following the launch of Game Update 6.3 "The Dark Descent" tomorrow, April 27th.
