Double XP Event
Everyone’s favorite time of the year aligns (as always!) with everyone’s favorite in-game event in SWTOR. Double XP returns for two weeks right in time for Christmas and New Year when most of us will be at home, resting and celebrating the holidays.
Date: May 1 – May 22 (begins and ends at 12:00PM GMT)
Requirements: Level None
Pirate Incursion
The Nova Blade pirates will once again attempt to take over Dantooine. Maybe for the fresh apples. Maybe for the pastoral views and gardens. Maybe for other valuables. You have to go and stop them.
Date: May 12 – May 19 (begins and ends at 12:00PM GMT)
Requirements: Level 20+
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.
