I am trying to figure out what alliance alert missions are. Usually at least 2 of your companions have an associated alliance alert mission to do to complete their legacy section. For example, Yuun, the trooper companion, has an alliance alert mission called To Find a Findsman. Where are these missions/how do I complete them? I've never had them offered to me spontaneously on any of my different characters, so there must be a place I have to go to get them, I just don't know of it. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Alliance Alert missions are part of the KotFE/KotET story line. You will start getting them, with the To Find a Findsman mission first, after you finish Chapter IX of KotFE. Alerts will appear at the top of your Companions and Contacts window (hit N to open it). To start the mission, select it from the list, and click on Travel to Alert Location.

First, you have to have completed through to Chapter 9 of Knights of the Fallen Empire and reached the point where you meet and speak to your Alliance Specialists: Beywan Aygo, Hylo Visz, Dr Juvard Illip Oggurobb, and Sana-Rae. Then Dr Oggurobb will want to speak with you and give you the mission "To Find a Findsman". Completing this mission will unlock most of the other Alliance Alert missions, such as: "The Forgotten Trophy" (to recruit Major Pierce [imp only] or M1-4X [Rep only]), "Death before Dishonor" ( to recruit Xalek), or "Shining in the Darkness" (to recruit Guss Tuno). Not all are unlocked immediately. For example, Guss's alert will only unlock after you have progress a little further in Fallen Empire.

 

Here is a link to a guide for the Alliance Alerts that become available with Chapter 9 if you want a walkthrough/spoilers.

Thanks for the replies! I haven’t started the KotFE chapters yet, so never seen these. At least I know they are coming up now.

I have only done the Find the Findsmen alert why cant you have a companion during this?
