    New Story: Desperate Defiance<\/h2>\n

    If you are up to date in the story<\/a> and have completed the previous story update in Update 7.4 in Kessan’s Landing on Ord Mantell, you should be eligible to automatically start the new Desperate Defiance story<\/strong>, which should lead you to the first quest, What Bothers Minboosa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    (SPOILERS) <\/span>The last few updates have all been parts of a larger story, with Darth Malgus in the center.\u00a0 Each update has been a “chapter” like in a book (not mechanical chapter) of the story. Desperate Defiance is the turning point of Sahar Kateen’s story. At the end of Update 7.4, Sa’har reaches out to the player for help, to get the holocron from Darth Nul’s temple away from Heta Kol, a rogue Mandalorian<\/p>\n

    (SPOILERS) <\/span>Up until this point Shar really hasn’t had control of her own story. She has been manipulated by her Master and Jedi, by Darth Malgus, by her brother Rikan, and ultimately by Heta Kol. And this is where she really defines her direction and decides “I can’t do this, I want to get this holocron away from Heta.”<\/p>\n

    (SPOILERS) <\/span>In Desperate Defiance, she’s going to reach out to the player for guidance and a plan to get this holocron away from Heta. You get to journey with Sahar as your companion, and also get to shape her story a little bit. She is a Padawan – a little wayward – she’s just finding her feet, so you have a lot of opportunities to shape her direction and where she’s going to go. There’s a lot of opportunities to decide how you would like to treat a young unprepared character that you are traveling with, and it will change who she will become, and how she reacts to different situations, based on if you support her or don’t support her, and your relationship with Sahar ultimately.<\/p>\n

    Hutta Art Modernization<\/h2>\n

    Hutta is getting a makeover! The modernization of the artwork will not only be in Minboosa the new area of Hutta for the story, but also the original Hutta area you are familiar with in the Bounty Hunter and Imperial Agent story.<\/p>\n

    Dantooine Spring Event – Abundance Festival<\/h2>\n

    To fill in the “Spring” gap for seasonal events in the game, the developers are introducing the Dantooine Spring Abundance Festival, a more casual laid back style of event. Players will return to Dantooine to help restore old farmland and enjoy daily and weekly missions.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Creature Rescue around the galaxy<\/li>\n
    • Festive holo-pole dance<\/li>\n
    • Cultivation missions<\/li>\n
    • ‘Fishing’<\/li>\n
    • Egg Hunt<\/li>\n
    • Pie Baking<\/li>\n
    • Pie sampling<\/li>\n
    • Achievements<\/li>\n
    • Decoration, armor, mount and pet rewards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The spring event was on the test server, so we have a whole bunch of info about the Dantooine Spring Abundance Festival Event Guide<\/a>!<\/p>\n
