Double XP Event

The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally
Date: 04/30/2024 - 05/06/2024 (BEGINS AND ENDS AT 12:00PM GMT) Requirement: Level 20+
In the growing shadow of war, swoop fans across the galaxy descend on Dantooine, Tatooine, and even Onderon for the sport’s biggest spectacle—The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally! They’re packing the stands, eager to take their minds off their troubles and cheer their favorite swoop gangs. The bikers are here to take on dangerous challenge courses, show off their piloting skills, and flaunt their souped-up swoop bikes. The thunder of the engines, the deafening applause from the fans, the wind battering their helmets… there’s no bigger rush for these thrill seekers.
Despite their reputation as wild rebels whose makeshift courses disregard local districting restrictions, swoop gangs aren’t a serious threat to anyone--something all true swoop fans know! They just love adrenaline-pounding speed, sweet jumps, and big explosions, and the All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally combines all three in one crowd-pleasing package. The biggest gangs on the circuit — Horizon’s Razor, the Pit Screamers, and the Blatant Beks — are ready to show their fans a great time.
FEATURED REWARDS:
Swoop Rally Mounts (regular and gold versions)
Swoop Gang Outfits
Promotion Droid Mini-pets
Various Stronghold Decorations

Executive Producer Letter - Q1 2024
Hi folks!
We’re coming up on the tail end of Q1 for 2024, and there’s quite a lot that’s happened since my anniversary post last year. We’re seeing new players and returning players jumping into SWTOR, so I wanted to provide a recap of what’s been happening in the game since Update 7.4 went out in December.
Dev Streams
We kicked off the year with a dev stream, hosted on February 14th, that gave a glimpse into what content players could expect with Game Update 7.4.1. We’ll be doing the same with Game Update 7.5, which we expect to host sometime in April!
PvP Season 5 “Pirate’s Plunder”
Season 5 began February 27th, giving players who enjoy a PvP mode opportunities to earn rewards like new armor, decorations, and a new Flair called “Pirate’s Bounty.” The season will run for 12 weeks!
Game Update 7.4.1
We just released our latest update on March 12th! Game Update 7.4.1 “Building a Foundation” features Galactic Seasons 6, the debut of a narrative feature called Date Night, and we opened transfers to our Shae Vizla server that is hosted in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
Galactic Seasons 6 comes with a breathtaking new Copero Stronghold that can be earned from the reward track. All the details can be found here.
Date Night Missions are a replayable, multiple-outcome cinematic feature, and the perfect treat for story-driven players seeking opportunities to develop deeper relationships with their romanceable companions. These weekly repeatable missions feature Theron Shan, Lana Beniko, Arcann, and Koth Vortena to start. Our goal is to release 1-2 Date Night Missions alongside Galactic Seasons and eventually have a polished and unique scene for every romanceable companion.
When 7.4.1 went live on March 12th, we opened character transfers to the new Shae Vizla APAC server:
From now until April 12th, Subscribers who have been consistently subbed since January 2nd will receive 16 free transfers.
From now until June 10th, Subscribers will have 50% off (500CC) these transfers.
There is a 15 million credit cap per character transfer.
Characters must be at least level 20 in order to qualify for a transfer.
The Cartel Market offerings for this update include Ahsoka™ inspired armors, new weapons (my personal favorite is the Prime Centurion Vibroblade), and a Copero themed Utility Bundle that would match perfectly with your new Stronghold!
Other Updates
We updated our SWTOR Launcher to present information more efficiently. We'll be making a similar update to the Steam launcher in the near future.
Players who have a Preferred account can post in the Introductions, New Player Help, and Bug Reports sections of the SWTOR Forums.
What’s coming up?
I can’t spoil too much, of course, but we did tease a little about what’s on the horizon for Game Update 7.5. First, the new story content is named “Desperate Defiance,” and we will be returning to Hutta!
Players familiar with SWTOR know that we have seasonal events such as Nar Shaddaa Nightlife (summer), Feast of Prosperity (Autumn), and Life Day (holiday). Clearly, one season is missing. Happy to say that the team is also working on a new Spring event that will be debuting with 7.5! More details to come, but what I can say is that players will have a pretty cozy time with it.
Lane Vizla has been up to a lot in our last few updates, and with 7.5, players will see all of her story missions come to fruition.
We’ll be going over the above and more in further detail with the Game Update 7.5 dev stream. We are tentatively scheduling this coming April, so stay tuned for more announcements!
Thank you for reading and I’ll see you all soon.

Galactic Seasons 6 “Building a Foundation” will be taking players back to a place with quite a view! We’re headed back to Copero! Players will be working with Inrokini family bringing them records of galactic events in exchange for the use of Chiss technology. The reward track features a brand new Stronghold based in Copero that players can unlock.
How does the Stronghold work for Galactic Seasons 6? This season will use story unlocks similarly to the way they worked in Galactic Season 5. A story mission will give access to the Stronghold, with 2 more rooms also able to be unlocked through more story missions. Subscribers will gain access to three additional rooms through the Galactic Seasons Subscriber Track. Three additional rooms can be purchased with Cartel Coins.
Here's a sneak peek of some of the decorations that can be earned on the reward track!

Ashley Ruhl, Narrative Director and Caitlin Sullivan Kelly, Lead Writer, introduce a new narrative feature called Date Night!
Date Night Companion Missions are weekly repeatable, cinematic-only missions designed to give players some personal time with their love interests. Game Update 7.4.1 will feature four companions: Lana Beniko, Arcann, Theron Shan, and Koth Vortena. Our goal is to have 1-2 companion missions released alongside Galactic Seasons.
For the creatives in the community, we are releasing cosplay kits based on the four companions featured in this update's Date Night release. They will be available on swtor.com at Game Update 7.4.1's launch.
(Sample of Koth Vortena's cosplay kit)
Timestamp 34:40
Keith Kanneg, Executive Producer, and Eric Musco take the stage and discuss Character Transfers to the Shae Vizla server. Transfers will be opening at 7.4.1's launch! Here are some things you need to know about them:
There is a 15 million credit limit per character
Minimum level 20 requirement
Players that are active Subscribers and have been a Subscriber since January 2, 2024 will have 16 free transfers to Shae Vizla for 30 days after transfers open
For the first 90 days after transfers open, all Subscribers will receive a 50% discount (500 Cartel Coins off) on transfers to the Shae Vizla server
Paid transfers will become available at 7.4.1 launch and will still cost 1000 Cartel Coins for non-Subscribers. The credit and character level requirements will still apply
Requirements may be adjusted in the future
Timestamp 42:45
Keith and Eric tease what's coming in Game Update 7.5. The story update is called "Desperate Defiance" and will be taking place on Hutta. Lane Vizla's research comes to fruition and a new spring event will be launching with 7.5! We will share details on the next livestream!
We look forward to sharing Game Update 7.4.1 ‘Building a Foundation’ with all our players in March 2024! Keep an eye on swtor.com and our social channels for future updates!
Game Update 7.4.1 Livestream coming February 14th!
Mark your calendars! We will be hosting the Game Update 7.4.1 livestream on February 14, 2024 at 1:00pm CT / 7:00pm UTC over on Twitch!
We’ll be going over all the features in the upcoming update and we may even give a hint as to what’s to come later. See you soon!
