The Kuat Drive-Yards (KDY) are a unique Flashpoint that can’t be found through groupfinder you can repeat to earn it’s own unique Reputation and Rewards. KDY is the first and only Flashpoint of this kind in the game so far. It takes place after Oricon, and before Assault on Tython\/Korriban Incursion.<\/p>\n

\"\" Thank you player Zahk<\/strong> for all your help on this guide to make it easier for other players to find the quest objectives!<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

How to Start<\/h2>\n

Chronological Start: <\/strong>As part of the Galactic Starfighter update, Kuat Drive Yards takes place just after the Dread War on Oricon, a few patches after Rise of the Hutt Cartel, but before Fractured Alliances kicks off with the Assault on Tython\/Korriban Incursion storylines leading up to Shadow of Revan. Story Order Guide<\/a><\/p>\n

Early on Other Characters:<\/strong> You can run KDY even if you are not caught up on the story, as long as you are the correct level for it – 55+<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> a lower level may get the error below: “This Flashpoint May Only Be Accessed Via Group Finder Until You’ve Reached Level 55”. This error is outdated; when released, the level cap was 55. At the time, Kuat Drive Yards was added to the group finder’s random rotation of flashpoints you could randomly get by queueing up from levels 15-54, but due to it’s unique nature, KDY was later removed from the Group Finder<\/strong> and cannot currently be accessed by the tool. All characters must be 55 or higher to play KDY, and they must physically travel there via the fleet.<\/p>\n

How to Get There:<\/strong> You can head to Kuat Drive Yards by one way only – physically walking to the entrance and picking up the mission on fleet. To do so, head to the Mission Departures<\/strong> elevator on your fleet (this is the west side on impside and the image below – it will be reversed, east, on republic). Once there, select “Starfighter Launch Deck<\/strong>“, Kuat Drive Yards was released alongside Galactic Starfighter, so this fact may help you remember which floor it’s on.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Reputation<\/h2>\n

Reputation is a way of gaining favor with different groups by completing missions for them. As you level up your reputation rank, more rewards for that reputation track become available. Reputation is shared by all your characters on your server, so it’s legacy-wide.<\/p>\n

By using multiple characters, you won\u2019t be limited to how many KDY flashpoints you run, but you will still be gated by how many reputation points you can earn \u2013 you can only earn a hard limit of 12,000 reputation points per week.<\/p>\n

There is one Reputation track for KDY named differently for Republic (Republic First Fleet<\/strong>) and Empire (Imperial Forward Command<\/strong>). Progress gained on Republic Side won’t need to be redone on Imperial side.<\/p>\n

Ranks<\/h3>\n

As you run the KDY Flashpoint, you’ll rank up your reputation, and each rank unlocks new rewards from the Kuat Drive Yards Reputation Vendor in the Starfighter Launch Deck.<\/p>\n
