Galactic Seasons 6 “Building a Foundation” will begin with the launch of Game Update 7.4.1! 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!

A new BIG reward

Once completing Galactic Seasons objectives and unlocking level one on the rewards track, players will have unlocked a new Stronghold based in Copero!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

In this season’s story, “Building a Foundation”, players will be connecting with the Inkrokini Chiss family. Historically the Chiss Ascendancy forbade outsiders from accessing their worlds, as well as shunning the use of the Sight (the Force) among their own people. The Inrokini family sees the changing times across the galaxy and wishes to learn what strengths the other sentients of the galaxy possess, including the Sight, so that they can better prepare their own people. Secretly, and without the knowledge of the rest of the Ascendancy, they set up a remote facility in the mountains of Copero, and discreetly invite the player to recruit experts from other species. They offer the use of Chiss technology and a safe haven to pursue various kinds of training, in exchange for observation.

Three story missions can be unlocked from the Galactic Seasons track. The new story content will take place in the Copero Stronghold and three narrative NPCs will be unlocked alongside the story content and present in the residence. The story unlocks are found at levels 1, 15, and 40 on the tracks with level 1 unlocking the Stronghold itself.

Subscribers will have three additional room unlocks on their reward track at levels 42, 67, and 94 and three additional rooms can be unlocked using Cartel Coins or Credits.

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. While story missions are optional and the player can continue progress on the Reward Track regardless of story mission completion, remember that the story unlocks are directly tied to unlocking rooms in your new Stronghold! Story mission unlocks and keys to purchased rooms will be available in Collections.
