It\u2019s your job to free these worlds by destroying the battle stations.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed youtube-video-size-big\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZYSQJs4BLZ4\" class=\"video-thumbnail\" target=\"_blank\"><img src='https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/ZYSQJs4BLZ4\/maxresdefault.jpg'><i><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZYSQJs4BLZ4\" class=\"youtube-below-video\" target=\"_blank\">Watch Video<\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve already had a chance to complete the Star Fortress missions, you may not know just how many secret achievements there are related to running them, as well as some really cool rewards, in both solo and heroic mode. In this video, we\u2019ll be going over all the hidden achievements and rewards you can earn from the Star Fortress missions!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you haven\u2019t started the Star Fortress questline, you\u2019ll be able to start running Star Fortresses at level 60 or higher once you\u2019ve completed Chapter 9 of Knights of the Fallen Empire, which is Star Wars: The Old Republic\u2019s third expansion. Look for Miot Dengd in the hallways of your alliance base, who has a quest symbol over his head, and enter your first Story-mode Star Fortress.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Solo Mode Achievements<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s start with the achievements you can do in solo mode.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Ghost Mode<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First off, there are six different Star Fortresses.

There\u2019s one hidden in each planet Star Fortress. Scyva&#8217;s is on Alderaan, Aivela is on Belsavis, Nahut is on Hoth, Esne&#8217;s is on Nar Shaddaa, Tyth&#8217;s is on Tatooine and Izax&#8217;s is on Voss. You can check your achievements to see which ones you\u2019re missing. Finding all the datapads will grant you the the <strong>legacy-wide title Follower of the Old Ways.<\/strong> You can find them in either the story or heroic mode Star Fortresses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I really like these devotional texts, so here they are if you&#8217;d like to read them together!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cThe Grieving of Scyva\u201d<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u2026Walk the path with Scyva, the Constant Companion.

If you\u2019ve earned a pair of Macrobinoculars from the Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion, you\u2019ll be able to look for hidden droids outside the Star Fortress\u2019s windows and scan them with your Macrobinoculars. As far as I can tell, you can not use the macrobinoculars mission quest item &#8211; you can only use the version that you earn as an ability by completing the macrobinoculars quest chain. If you find one, you\u2019ll be granted the <strong>The Ever-Watchful legacy-wide title.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Aid from Above<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re hunting after achievements, make sure to complete bonus objectives while running Star Fortresses in solo or heroic mode. There\u2019s an achievement for completing\u00a0 25 bonus objectives called Aid from Above, which will grant you <strong>20 Cartel Coins<\/strong> if you complete it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Heroic Mode Achievements<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To complete all the Star fortress achievements, you\u2019ll need to complete all six planet alerts from the Companions &amp; Contact window after finishing the original Star Fortress quest from Miot. The rest of the achievements are only available in the heroic mode, which has additional boss fights. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Heroic Star Fortress versions become unlocked as you help your new allies destroy the Star Fortress bunkers on their planets. If you destroy a bunker, you\u2019ll be able to go to to start Heroic mode for the planet from an NPC outside the Star Fortress entrance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conquered Exarch Armor<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>While not a secret achievement, there are four <strong>legacy-bound armor sets<\/strong> you can collect through the Star Fortress encounters in Heroic mode. The trick is that you can only earn one piece per set, per character, per planet, so if you want to earn them all, you&#8217;d need to run Star Fortresses in four different characters, each one picking a different set type. If you missed a piece along the way, you could re-run Star Fortresses on a different character to earn it, since the pieces are legacy-bound which means any of your characters can use them once you&#8217;ve earned them. There are other sets similar to these, but the one-time quests for Heroic Star Fortresses are the only way to get the orange and gold-colored legacy-bound versions! These sets do have a requirement of level 10 and up to wear.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36776\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ipp.class_.lmhs_.heavy_.social.exarch_shell.chest_.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"56\" height=\"56\" \/> Alderaan &#8211; Chest<\/li>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36782\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ipp.class_.lmhs_.heavy_.social.exarch_shell.feet_.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"56\" height=\"56\" \/>\u00a0Belsavis &#8211; Boots<\/li>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36779\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ipp.class_.lmhs_.heavy_.social.exarch_shell.legs_.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"56\" height=\"56\" \/>\u00a0Tatooine &#8211; Legs<\/li>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36781\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ipp.class_.lmhs_.heavy_.social.exarch_shell.hands_.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"56\" height=\"56\" \/>\u00a0Hoth &#8211; Gloves<\/li>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36780\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ipp.class_.lmhs_.heavy_.social.exarch_shell.head_.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"56\" height=\"56\" \/>\u00a0Nar Shaddaa &#8211; Helmet<\/li>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36777\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ipp.class_.lmhs_.heavy_.social.exarch_shell.waist_.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"56\" height=\"56\" \/>\u00a0Voss &#8211; Belt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The headpiece is from Nar Shaddaa, the chest from Alderaan, the hands from Hoth, the belt from Voss, the legs from Tatooine, the boots are from Belsavis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36778\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ipp.class_.lmhs_.heavy_.social.exarch_shell.wrists.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"56\" height=\"56\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The seventh piece, the bracers,<em> used to be<\/em> a random drop from the paladins in Heroic mode, but no longer are available to be earned in any way.

Interrupting the cast sometimes works, while other times he&#8217;ll simply restart it, so you can start by interupting as many as you can. Beyond that, you&#8217;ll need to use the same tricks to get better as in any other content &#8211; raise your companion&#8217;s influence, learn to play your class better and use your abilities more efficiently, use a stim, get better gear, use heroic moment, or bring a friend.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yDEHwbU\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"646\" height=\"351\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3697 \" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_5d7e945e43d10.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_5d7e945e43d10.png 646w, https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_5d7e945e43d10-300x163.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 646px) 100vw, 646px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"dDUFUHE\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"149\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3698 \" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_5d7e94697ec42.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_5d7e94697ec42.png 400w, https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_5d7e94697ec42-300x112.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>All For One<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now here\u2019s where we get into the fun ones. There\u2019s two special achievements, the first is called All for One, and the second is One for All. To get All for One, you\u2019ll need to use all four hidden Alliance Equipment Caches and receive all four buffs at the beginning of your Heroic Star Fortress. When you reach Rank 10 Influence with each of your Alliance Specialists by turning in heroic crates, you\u2019ll be able to find and use the four Alliance Equipment Caches hidden in Heroic Mode Star Fortresses, and access their special buffs that show up at the beginning of the Star fortress as glowing blue machine. Completing a heroic Star Fortress with all four buffs and all four equipment caches will grant you the<strong> Fully Armed and Operational legacy-wide title<\/strong> and fifty copies of <strong>four unique decorations.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/zakuulan-prototype-medical-probe_1-300x169.jpg\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Zakuulan-Force-Focus-300x169.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/xr-9-scrambler-grenade-in-suspension-chamber-300x169.jpg\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/portable-zakuulan-sentry-turret-300x169.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>One for All<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The All for One achievement is all about working with your alliance, but the One for All achievement is all about completing it on your own. This achievement requires that you complete a heroic Star Fortress alone, and that you don\u2019t click the buffs at the beginning of the fortress or the equipment caches. If you complete this more difficult achievement, you\u2019ll be granted <strong>The One and Only legacy-wide title<\/strong> and<strong> 20 Cartel Coins.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Both Feet on the Ground<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now we\u2019re getting into the true hidden <strong>achievements.<\/strong> The first is called\u00a0 Both Feet on the Ground, where you will need to use an impeccably timed stun breaker during the final fight with the Exarch in any Heroic mode. In the final fight, the Exarch has a couple different moves that he repeat, but the one you are looking for is called Impaling Strikes. To recognize this move, look for when the castbar for Impaling Strikes shows up above the Exarch\u2019s head &#8211; it\u2019s quite fast, so you need to pay special attention to it. Near the end of the move, the Exarch will stun you and fling you up in to the air. In the very short period between him throwing you into the air and the point where you hit the ground, you\u2019ll need to use your Stun Breaker. All classes get their stun breaker at level 9 or higher, and here\u2019s a list of the stun breaker abilities for each class. To do this achievement, I focused 100% on watching for the Exarch\u2019s castbar, stopped worrying about attacking him, hovered over my stun breaker key, and mashed it as soon as I saw him throw me in the air. Be aware that he has some other casted moves as well as some other knockbacks, so it\u2019s important to watch specifically for Impaling Strikes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>When You Play With Fire\u2026.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second <strong>hidden achievement<\/strong> is called When You Play With Fire, and the achievement requires that you defeat an Exarch with their own Star Fortress\u2019s Sun Reactor. This achievement is actually quite difficult as it requires\u00a0 great timing. You\u2019ll need to take the Exarch down to a very low percentage of health, say 3-5%, then drag him in to the red boxes around the floor of the arena near the edges. The hard part about this is avoiding all the other ways he could die. For example, make sure to stop attacking him yourself when he gets weak, and make sure your companion is set to passive so your companion doesn\u2019t attack him. As a tank, I struggled with this one because even if I stopped attacking the Exarch, and set my companion to passive, some of my chosen utility abilities dished out reflection damage. If you complete this achievement, you\u2019ll earn the <strong>Playing with Fire title for your character.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nice part about the last two achievements, is that if you are working on doing all six star fortresses in heroic mode, if you miss earning Both Feet on the Ground or When You Play With Fire on one Exarch, you can still earn them on the other five Star Fortresses you\u2019ll run next.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Star Fortresses with a Group<\/h2>\n<p>Star fortresses can also be done in groups. All the members of your group will need to have access to Chapter 9 of Knights of the Fallen Empire, and will have to go pick up the quest from the questgiver in their Odessan base. Once they&#8217;ve got the quest, and talked to the second quest giver outside the Star fortress entrance, you can then team up and run Star Fortresses together &#8211; the first player who enters the Star fortress door will pick which Star fortress to run, and the others will walk in to the entrance and join them. The Heroic versions were actually designed to be done with two or more players, but, all players must have completed the introductory Star Fortress quest, and also completed the step where they destroyed a bunker so they can access the Heroic versions with you. Sharing a Heroic quest will not work if they are not eligible to run that Star Fortress normally.<\/p>\n<p id=\"jxAXtXb\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"763\" height=\"489\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3700 \" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_5d7e9679ddcb3.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_5d7e9679ddcb3.png 763w, https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_5d7e9679ddcb3-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_5d7e9679ddcb3-728x467.png 728w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 763px) 100vw, 763px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion, you\u2019ll have the chance to work with potential allies to take down enemy targets across the galaxy.
