Special note Players using a French or German client will be given the option to play Galactic Threads with English voices and French or German subtitles. Players can opt out of beginning the storyline and waiting until the French and German voiced dialogue is added. As soon as we have an update on French and German recordings, we'll share when players can expect these to be added! **Wreckage on Dantooine** A ship of unknown origin crashed into Dantooine’s surface. The damage from the crash caused the ship’s systems to behave erratically, infinitely expanding three of the biomes it was sustaining. The multitudes of flora and fauna that were aboard the ship now threaten to overtake Dantooine's native environment. 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. **PvP Season 9 "Gladiators of the Outer Rim"** New rewards including Titles, Achievements, Flairs, armors, and a jetpack mount await players who partake in PvP Season 9 “Gladiators of the Outer Rim”! **Cartel Market Items** The Reforged Havoc Squad Armor, Yavin Utility Bundle, and Yavin Equipment Decoration Bundle will be available at 7.8 launch!
