For fans of Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR), two big events are underway! The Pirate Incursion and the All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally are back, bringing players to the remote planet of Dantooine and the swoop tracks of Tatooine, Dantooine, and Onderon. Whether you’re into daring swoop races or fighting off intergalactic pirates, these events deliver a bounty of excitement, rewards, and epic battles. If you’re a fan of Star Wars movies, comics, or video games, there’s no better time to dive in and experience the action firsthand.
Pirate Incursion on Dantooine: A Galaxy at War
Event Duration: October 29 – November 4, 12:00 PM GMT
Level Requirement: 20+
Our first stop: Dantooine. Typically a quiet, pastoral planet, Dantooine is now caught in the crossfire between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. With the Empire subtly backing the notorious Nova Blade pirates, the Republic faces a relentless assault as it scrambles to protect this strategically crucial world. It’s up to you, brave players of SWTOR, to decide Dantooine’s fate!
What’s Going Down on Dantooine?
Here’s the setup: covert Imperial forces have stoked the fires, motivating the Nova Blade pirates to launch an all-out attack on Republic territory. It’s an ideal opportunity for the Empire to weaken the Republic’s defenses on the Outer Rim and strike a major blow to their enemy. As a player, you’ll join the Republic’s defense forces or sneak in as a Sith-aligned saboteur, taking on quests, battling pirate troops, and disrupting enemy strategies.
Exclusive Pirate Incursion Rewards
What’s a SWTOR event without some stellar loot? The Pirate Incursion event brings a bounty of rewards to sweeten the deal for the brave souls defending (or invading) Dantooine:
- Nova Blade and Dantooine Homesteader Armor Sets: Gear up with battle-ready armor inspired by both the fearsome Nova Blades and Dantooine’s resilient settlers.
- Ugnaught Companion: Ever wanted a scrappy Ugnaught by your side? Now’s your chance to unlock this trusty companion.
- Walker and Kath Hound Mounts: Mount up with either a mechanical walker or a fearsome Kath Hound to make your way across the galaxy in style.
- Kath Hound Mini-pet: A smaller, cuter version of the Kath Hound for those who prefer pets over mounts.
- Dantooine-themed Stronghold Decorations: Bring a piece of Dantooine back to your Stronghold with these exclusive decorations.
Ready to step into the fray? Make sure you’re geared up and ready to face the pirates—and maybe a few Imperial agents along the way.
The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally: Thrills, Spills, and Galactic Glory
Event Duration: November 26 – December 2, 12:00 PM GMT

Once the dust has settled on Dantooine, it’s time for the galaxy’s most anticipated speed event: the All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally! Swoop racing fans from across the galaxy gather on Dantooine, Tatooine, and Onderon to watch (or join!) the most daring swoop riders in SWTOR. Think of it as the Star Wars version of the ultimate extreme sport, with high-speed races, death-defying jumps, and, of course, big explosions.
