What are Tech Fragments for in SWTOR?

Tech Fragments are a type of currency in Star Wars: The Old Republic which come from various quests, and are used to purchase high-level gear pieces, crafting materials, and cosmetic items.

You can purchase these things with your Tech Fragments:

1. Tactical Items

Tactical Items are a high-level type of gear that was introduced to Star Wars: The Old Republic in the Onslaught expansion. You can equip one tactical item at a time, just like you can only have one earpiece equipped. You can buy your first Tactical at level 75+ once you have saved up 3,000 Tech Fragments and 1 million credits.
