How to Start the 7.9 “Legacy Reborn” Storyline – What’s Required and Where to Go

News Date: June 2, 2026 Patch: 7.9

The final story update for SWTOR’s Legacy of the Sith expansion has finally arrived! If you’re not seeing the start immedately and need some help to finish off the last chapter before the upcoming expansion, read on to figure out how advance.

Step #1 – Check Your Mission Log!

If you’re eligible for Legacy Reborn, you’ll have it immediately. Characters that have completed up to current content should get the Legacy Reborn Mission breadcrumb in your mission log, plain as day. Maybe you checked out this guide looking for where to go without realizing you already have it! Click it and you should start some cutscenes and get teleported right to the story. If that’s NOT the case and you definitely don’t have this lingering in your log, you can try re-logging. But if that doesn’t work…

Step #2 – Catch Up on the Story!

If it’s not being awarded to you, the chances are you aren’t far enough in the current story to get started on Legacy Reborn. But where are you so far? That can be easily answered by checking the “Eras” page quite recently added to the in-game UI:

There’s a few ways to open it. The first is above: hit the mission button on your menu tray, and find Eras up the list. In addition, if you just hit your mission log hotkey, Eras is a new Tab inside of there, between Guild Invasions and Codices.

The Eras menu is kind of purpose built to find out exactly where each of your characters are at in the story, with a button to pick up your most recent Story Mission and get started. You should see a checkmark over and expansion or update that you’ve completed, and only a “Missions” button over ones you can still go and do. Legacy Reborn is a part of Legacy of the Sith, so check for a button over Legacy of the Sith to get started!

Step #3 – Checking More In-depth

If you know you’re SOMEWHERE in Legacy of the Sith and aren’t seeing a way to start from Eras, we should still have you covered! Here’s a list of locations and questlines from each recent planet and story in order, so you can click through and see what seems familiar:

Good luck getting caught up! If nothing here gets you started on a purple mission, chances are something is seriously bugged!
