FLEET BATTLES TABLE
The Ships PvE table, Fleet Battles, has finally arrived! Unlock Fleet Battles at Level 60 to start earning Ship blueprints, Reinforcement Materials, and even Ship Omega Ability Materials!

We’ve also made changes to the Heroic Sith Triumvirate reward structure which you can read about here.
