New year, old events! BioWare listed the upcoming, or rather returning, in-game events for the first month of 2020. In January we will get a week’s worth of each one of Relics of the Gree, Bounty Contract Week and Pirate Incursion!
This January will start things slow as BioWare is bringing back only three of the already known and regular events. I hope you had your fun with snowball fights and life day gifts already, because it is time to get back to farming!
BOUNTY CONTRACT WEEK
This is one of the oldest events available in SWTOR. It runs for one week each month and unless you started your adventure late in 2019, you have likely completed everything and looted everything there is related to this.
If you still have some contracts and bounties left unfinished, pack up your bags and start roaming the worlds of SWTOR. The event is currently going on and will end next Tuesday.
- Date: December 31, 2019 – January 7, 2020 (BEGINS AND ENDS AT 10:00AM PST/6:00PM GMT)
- Requirement: Level 15+
For a limited time, the Bounty Brokers Association has opened its doors to anyone willing to take on their dangerous contracts, offering an opportunity for both seasoned and rookie hunters to prove their skills and bring crime syndicates and violent gangs to justice!
Each day, you can sign up for one standard Henchman contract and one high profile Kingpin Contract, and each may take you to a separate planet. Complete five standard contracts to unlock Kingpin missions with bigger loot! Head to the fleet now, invite your friends and visit representatives of the Association to get started on your contracts!
FEATURED REWARDS:
- Reputation with the Bounty Brokers Association
- Bounty Tracker’s Armor Set and Contract Hunter’s Armor Set
- Assassin’s Bowcaster and Elite Tracker’s Bowcaster weapons
- Lobelot, Swamp Kell Drake, and Drink Server Probe Mini-pets

PIRATE INCURSION
The most recently added in-game events is now a monthly regular too. Journey to the still relatively new to SWTOR planet Dantooine and explore its small, but packed with stuff to do map.
Dantooine also has an off-event activities. You can find everything you need in my Dantooine Dailies Guide.
- Date: January 14 – 21, 2020 (BEGINS AND ENDS AT 10:00AM PST/6:00PM GMT)

The remote planet Dantooine has been thrust into the center of escalating hostilities between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. Spurred on in secret by covert Imperial forces, the Nova Blade pirates have staged an all-out attack on the pastoral Republic world. As the Republic scrambles to defend this key territory at the edge of Imperial space, the Empire plans to capitalize on the chaos and deal a major blow to the longtime Republic bastion.

RELICS OF THE GREE
Stop by this icy planet and defeat weird giant monsters and robots to earn the Gree’s favor and be allowed to… purchase some cool items at a not-so-discounted price at their vendors.
This used to be my favorite event, but I finished all it had to offer years ago, so I rarely visit Ilum any more.

- Requirement: Level 50+
Explore Ilum’s contested area in the Western Ice Shelf to uncover the mysterious purpose of the Gray Secant, an enormous ancient Gree starship. Get ready to face a powerful opponent that awaits you at the center of this ancient vessel. Visit the in-game News Terminal located on Carrick Station in the Republic fleet or Vaiken Spacedock in the Imperial fleet to get started on your adventure!
