Star Wars: The Old Republic Announces Week-Long Pirate Incursion Event As 7.3.1 Nears

What’s worse than pirates? Space pirates.

Star Wars: The Old Republic has announced the Pirate Incursion event. Running from September 5 to 12 in the MMORPG, this event requires players to have reached at least level 20. Pirate Incursion’s backdrop is the planet Dantooine, which finds itself in the midst of a growing conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire.

The tension escalates as covert Imperial forces manipulate the Nova Blade pirates into launching a full-scale assault on Dantooine, a previously peaceful Republic world. As the Republic rushes to defend this strategically important territory located on the fringes of Imperial space, the Sith Empire seizes the opportunity to create chaos and strike a significant blow against its long-standing rival.

During the event, players have the chance to earn a variety of rewards. These include the Nova Blade and Dantooine Homesteader Armor Sets, a loyal Ugnaught Companion, as well as mounts like the Walker and Kath Hound. Additionally, they can acquire the Kath Hound Mini-pet and Dantooine-inspired decorations.

Game Update 7.3.1 will be launching on September 6th! We will deploy the update beginning 7am CT / 12pm UTC. Expected downtime is 4 hours. Patch notes will be made available on Tuesday here: https://t.co/rhuO8yXqY1 https://t.co/2gWLVxTD5z
