Obsidian Squad

The Obsidian Squad flair is a Cartel Market cosmetic portrait frame that can be found in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

The easiest way to get it is to buy it from the GTN from another player (the item is called Flair: Obsidian Squad) with credits or from the Cartel Market with Cartel Coins.

Strangely, Obsidian Squad does not seem to actually exist in the lore of the game - there is the Flair: Obsidian Squad item, the Obsidian Squad Recon Walker Mount, and the Holoshield Trooper Armor Set, but no mention of Obsidian squad any where else in the game or Legends Star Wars lore.

How to get the Obsidian Squad Flair

The Obsidian Squad flair is a Cartel Market item, which means it originally comes from the ingame Cartel Market, and can be obtained four different ways - bought on the GTN, bought or traded from another player, bought directly from the Cartel Market for cartel coins, or found by random chance in a Cartel Pack.

Buying the Obsidian Squad Flair from the GTN with Credits

The Obsidian Squad flair can be found on the GTN, which is an auction house where players can buy and sell unbound items. To find the GTN at level 10 or higher, look for the Galactic Trade Network section of the Republic or Imperial Fleet. The price and availability will fluctuate with what other players have to offer, the rarity of the flair, and its desirability. Flairs in general are quite expensive. When looking on the GTN, search for Flair: Obsidian Squad.

Buying the Obsidian Squad Directly from the Cartel Market with Cartel Coins

The Obsidian Squad flair may be available for direct purchase from the Cartel Market with Cartel Coins. Cartel Coins can be bought with real money, subscribers receive 500 per month, players with a security key earn 100 per month, and you can also earn Cartel Coins through achievements. Items are regularily rotated in and out of the Cartel Market, so the Obsidian Squad flair may or may not actually be for sale on there on any given day. If you can't find it on the Cartel Market, you will need to buy it from the GTN. Most Cartel Market flairs are available on the Cartel Market most of the time. They rarely go on sale.

Won by Random Chance from Cartel Packs

Ultimate packs are an item that can be bought from the Cartel Market, and contain random items from the Cartel Market. The Obsidian Squad flair is one of thousands of possible items that could be dropped from an Ultimate Pack.

Older Cartel Market items also drop from specific types of Cartel Packs, which are similar to Ultimate Packs but instead may only drop a smaller selection of items. These types of Cartel Packs are mostly retired and are hard to find.


In the flair dropdown list, this flair is listed as Flair: Obsidian Squad. The actual item is called Flair: Obsidian Squad. The nickname for the flair is usually just the Obsidian Squad flair.
