The Crash Site Outpost is a new area on Dantooine that level 80 players can travel to. There they will be met with new Dynamic Encounters and three unnatural biomes that were unexpectedly created by the crashed ship. Players that manage to level up the biomes completely will be able to take on a challenging 4–player boss called the Orbital Core.
As players successfully complete encounters and explore the area, they can earn a plethora of new rewards including mounts, armors, minipets, Titles, decorations and Achievements! Players who make progress through the Crash Site Reputation Track will also unlock a cozy Dantooine Stronghold.
