This collective article will help and keep you updated with the events after the launch of Patch 4.7.1 and the Bonus Chapter of SWTOR Fallen Empire, in which we had the chance to take control over HK-55 and discover the secret of The Shroud.
How to start the Bonus Chapter
The starting mission quest is located on the player’s personal ship – under the Fallen Empire tab on the terminal.
Lag and other known issues
Many of us, who logged in right after the maintenance ended, had to endure the whole chapter with incredible lag (ability delay), which took a bit of the fun of playing as HK-55. Bioware claims to have fixed that issue, but in case you keep having it, a simple exiting and re-entering the mission should help resolve the issue.

We made some changes on our end and, if you’re still experiencing lag, leaving and re-entering the Chapter should resolve it.
Server restart on 8th September
Bioware announced a new short downtime on 8th September to fix an issue with starting the chapter and the initial email players receive.
► Server Restart – 9/8/2016 | 09.07.2016, 11:13 PM
We will be restarting the servers between 5:30AM PDT and 7:30AM PDT (13:30 – 15:30 BST) tomorrow, September 8th.
There will not be a patch involved, but it the downtime will result in the “Shroud of Memory” Bonus Chapter being automatically granted to eligible Characters on log in
As you have no doubt guessed it, I have full collection of videos about the chapter. Below is my first Playthrough, the Cinematics-only movie-like experience and my short review. For more, check my YouTube channel.
