Hondo Ohnaka promoting the Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Era of Piracy event

Yo-Ho-Hondo! The Era of Piracy Arrives in Galaxy of Heroes with a Booty-Laden Battle and Smuggler’s Run 3

Hondo Ohnaka Returns, and He’s Brought Booty

If your holo-crystals have been burning a hole in your smugglin’ satchel, it’s time to cash in—Galaxy of Heroes is kicking off its most swashbuckling event series yet: the Era of Piracy. And leading the charge? None other than Galactic Legend Hondo Ohnaka, the smooth-talking, score-chasing pirate who always seems to profit, even when the galaxy’s on fire.

This August, prepare for a high-seas (or high-stars?) adventure in the newest Era Battle: Raiders of the Outer Rim. This ain’t just another relic grind. This is full-on pirate roleplay with blasters instead of cutlasses and loot that even Jabba would drool over.


The Era Battle: Raiders of the Outer Rim

The main course of this event is the Era Battle, where players get to flex their pirate-themed rosters. Expect new pirate-aligned characters, themed combat tiers, and yes—a bonus tier that requires Hondo Ohnaka himself. Think of it as the treasure map’s X: you’re not getting the biggest pile of space-booty unless you’ve got the mustachioed maestro of mischief at your side.

To access that glorious bonus tier, you’ll need Hondo at Relic 9—because if you’re going to pillage the Outer Rim, you might as well do it in style (and with extra health and damage scaling).


Smuggler’s Run 3: The Booty Continues

If you thought the Jabba’s Run of 2 was spicy, Smuggler’s Run 3 is basically its unshaven, rum-swilling older sibling.

This new Smuggler’s Run 3 takes all the good stuff from previous versions and wraps it in a treasure map covered in grease, charisma, and chaos. It’s a Hondo-themed economy event, which means more materials, more mods, more credits—and a much bigger smile on your holo-projected wallet. But don’t forget: Hondo must be at Relic 3 and 9 for various rewards.

Whether you’re in it for the gear, the credits, or the sheer absurdity of seeing pirates rule the battlefield, this event has something for every scoundrel at the table.


Write a Pirate Shanty, Win Real Booty?

In one of the most charming twists in recent Galaxy of Heroes history, the devs are running a pirate-themed contest. Drop your original pirate poem or shanty in the event comments section (with your Ally Code), and you could win bonus booty—no blaster fire required.

Even better? The shanty with the most likes hauls in extra loot. So don’t be shy—summon your inner bard, throw in a “yo-ho-ho,” and hope the algorithm favors your rhyme.


Why This Event Hits Different

Let’s be honest—Star Wars has always had a soft spot for scoundrels. From Han Solo to Lando to Hondo himself, these are the wildcards that bring spice to the saga. This update leans fully into that vibe: chaotic good, maximum charisma, and plenty of loot to chase.

It’s not just another relic-gated content drop—it’s a full-blown pirate festival, and it’s one of the most personality-driven events the Galaxy of Heroes team has ever rolled out. Whether you’re a high-roller chasing the best gear for Grand Arena or just here for the space vibes, Era of Piracy is absolutely worth your grind.


Final Thought: Treasure Awaits, But Only for the Bold

Don’t sleep on this event. Whether you’re building toward a Relic 9 Hondo or just want to test your pirate meta in the latest Era Battle, this one promises chaos, charisma, and credits galore. It’s like the casino tables of Canto Bight—only this time, the house doesn’t always win.
