Galactic Season 5 will begin with the launch of Game Update 7.3.1. 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!

New storytelling

In previous seasons, players embarked on their storyline missions with a new companion. Season 5 introduces a new way to engage with the story told in Galactic Seasons, with story progression now a part of the Galactic Seasons rewards. Players will unlock new story missions as they progress through the reward track, with the final mission granted at Season Level 40. 

In this season’s story, “Confidence in Power”, players will meet an astromech named 3V-1L, a peculiar droid who serves a mysterious Master. 3V-1L will test the player through a series of trials, to see if they are worthy of the Master’s teachings of the “dark side”. Whether this is a prank or a serious threat, the player must decide how deeply they will commit to these “dark” trials to uncover the truth.

(3V-1L pictured above)

The story progresses through the use of special transmission items that are gained from the Seasonal Reward Track and mission completion, with each subsequent mission item granted as the player progresses through the Reward Track. If a player has completed the mission on any character, they will be able to re-acquire the mission items on other characters from the Galactic Seasons vendor, Jaliet Nall. Story missions are optional and the player can continue progress on the Reward Track regardless of story mission completion.

Updating objectives

We are adding new objectives that will involve companions being set to specific roles, Space Missions, and Operations. There are more objectives available for players who are Subscribers or have Preferred accounts. 

We have added a few new objectives with the goals of creating more variety in play, and making objectives easier to understand. 

Flashpoint and Uprising objectives will also be updated to make it clearer what requirements need to be satisfied in order to complete said objectives. Below is an example of how these objectives were displayed previously and how they will read once the season goes live.

Previous Seasons: Complete Flashpoints (1 point). Earn bonus progress for completing Depths of Manaan, Assault on Tython, Korriban Incursion, or Secrets of the Enclave (requires content) (4 points). Earn additional bonus progress for defeating their Bonus Bosses (3 points).

Will now read: Complete Flashpoints from the following list: Depths of Manaan, Assault on Tython, Korriban Incursion, or Secrets of the Enclave (requires content).

Lastly, more objectives will be added for Subscribers. The number of objectives will increase to 11 (up from 10) to allow for more options to be available to players. The maximum number of objectives allowed to be completed in a week will remain 7, however, this additional objective will create more opportunities for players to take part in grouped content including Uprisings, Operations, and Chapters. 

Further details on the new objectives can be found in this forum post!
