R-4 Anomaly Operation

In this new 8-player Operation, players take on an obscure Sith cult set on harvesting technology from an ancient weapon of terrifying power. This new operation is available in Story Mode and Veteran Mode to all characters at level 80. Look for it in the Activity Finder window! 

The following can be obtained from this Operation:   

  • Virulent Armor Sets
  • Hazardous Armor Sets
  • Bosses and R-4 Anomaly Operation Decorations

Travel to Manaan for two new, faction-based storylines and repeatable Missions. To access these Missions, characters must have completed the Onslaught and Legacy of the Sith expansions. Manaan Daily Area Missions will be available on the Daily Missions Terminal on Manaan or in the Activity Finder window.  

Like other Daily Areas, Manaan will offer several new rewards. To earn them you’ll need to reach the appropriate reputation rank with your respective faction by completing Daily and Weekly Missions. Each faction has a vendor in its base who sells items, including: 

  • Firaxan Weapon Sets 
  • Manaan Defender and Nightlight Armor Sets 
  • Cerulean Turtle Minipet 
  • Manaan-inspired Stronghold Decorations
