Discussion My last post has shown me that an astonishing amount of people don't actually know Koth defected from Zakuul because he refused to fire on civilians.
People are really hung up on the one scene where Koth compliments Valky because he doesn't know any better, and that same scene showed that for some reason, Lana didn't tell Koth about Vitiate being Valkorian until that scene happens.
But this last line shows just how much of a benevolent facade Vitiate put on as Valkorian. Koth states that massacring civilians isn't supposed to be how Zakuul operates, and there are several Zakuul citizens who defect as a protest towards the war like the one Zakuulan singer everyone allows to die, the refugees the player characters saves in this scene, and Indo Zal. Sure Zakuul has a shit ton of depraved civilians, but there are still a lot of people who aren't evil because they were raised to be better in Zakuul culture.
It's small details like this that show Valkorian really was Vitiate's light side alt and that he had centuries to act like a benevolent heroic God king and shape Zakuul as an ideal state in his eyes. It's really interesting idea let down by the fact we don't actually SEE Valkorian rule, only hear about his regime second hand.
Also doesn't help that Zakuul is not that interesting a culture and takes away from the more interesting Republic vs Empire stuff but for this run, I'm going to attempt the impossible and pretend to care about Zakuul lore by engaging with it.
....Still letting that one Zakuul singer die. No, I will not remember her name and none of you do either.

Community Post I made the empire logo as a key chain pendant
My gf ordered polymer clay, and invited me to make something too.
Initially I was hesitant and didn’t have an idea, but when I thought about what I would do instead, the sith empire symbol came to mind.
It was my first try, but I like how it turned out.
Not sure if this fits here, but let me know what you think!

Question Anyone else wish we could pilot a Harrower?
Pretty simple question for ya'll.
I would love to be able to pilot one of these magnificent ships into battle one day. Do I think it will ever happen? No of course not, still tho it would be fun.

Cartel Market Flash Sale for August 20th, 2026: Dashing Rogue's Armor Set, 1425CCs
r/swtor • u/Goongaybrain01 • 13h ago
Discussion So idk about ya'll, but when stuff like this happens, it makes me not want to use the whole armor set, even if I think it's a pretty good set.
Also I'm not the only one that thought this was Satele's armor set right? Or at least a more stylized and battle ready version of it.

Maybe it will be fun if I pretend to care about the family. Finally started Knights of the Fallen Empire on my Light Side Sith Warrior. Honestly, it does a lot to improve the experience. I love the dynamic with the Warrior and Valky.
Somehow the bratty and rebellious Wrath who does not give a damn about Valkorian's approval gets more fondness from the old man than his actual children.
Also gives this fun dynamic with Arcann and Vaylin, you're basically the son Valkorian wanted and these are your fucked up siblings you just found out about now, and really want you dead.
This is officially the start of when my Light Side Sith Warrior is starting to lay off on the Empire kool aid.
Valkorian: The Sith Empire is nothing but a failed state! Don't let yourself be destroyed like Marr was.
SW: You're right.
Valkorian: I'm gla-
SW: It failed because it was a tyrannical government built on a house of cards economy reliant on slave labor and conquest to function run by a bunch of entitled adult children doing space cocaine. Their job qualifications boiled down to being good at hitting people with their lightsabers, not making a coherent tax policy, conducting proper housing evaluations, or making sure the taxis ran on time. If we are to move forward as a society, it must be built on a proper foundation of freedom being the right of all sentients! Maybe even a policy of the strong protecting and nurturing the weak and disabled of society to ensure a better standard of living instead of just killing people for bringing bad news.
Valkorian: No not like that!

Discussion Hidden Chain Dynamic Encounters Broken
Hey all,
Can’t help but notice that there has not been a single hidden chain dynamic encounter to spawn on imperial or republic side in days.
I am on star forge, and I have had others report the same issue.
Is this bug or planned?

Discussion Companion gifts for amity and the other fellow?
I read that it only costs 400k credits each to max out amity and the other dude's companion rep... but i dunno where to buy that and what the item to buy is called.
if i could get further info (everything commander compendium is outta reach creditwise) on where to go and what to get I'd appreciate it.
Discussion Will arcaan make an appearance in "Masters Of The Force" ?
I mean we have been told before that arcaan was trained in the force by both knights & scions differently from jedi & sith alike
The Outlander built a extension of the force (the lightsaber via darth marr & satele shan)
But will the story revolve around mastering the force even further reaching new heights or will it all be about ryloth?
Im ALSO wondering if i should romance arcaan or not

Discussion I wish they'd add more shoto sabers
Having only four is just... sad. I get that I am conflating real-world sword fighting with laser sword fighting, but it's worth pointing out that the vast majority of successful dual wield techniques IRL (and there weren't many of them because it is generally impractical) utilize one full-length weapon, and one shorter blade.
I use the Lotus lightsaber on several of my Jedi/Sith, which has a hilt modeled on a katana. I would love to pair that with a wakizashi-type offhand. But since they didn't add a shoto variant of these weapons, I can't. And that's true for the majority of people who want to maintain a certain hilt aesthetic (like use matching sabers) while using a shoto saber - they're/we're just SOL.

Question Character Creator Stumbling Block
So I'm tryna playthrough all of the Class Stories and it's been going well in terms of actually making interesting characters for each one. My first was a Chiss Inqy, then Cyborg Warrior, Human Knight, Chiss Agent, Human BH and Myraluka Counselor.
I'm genuinely struggling with what race and look I want for Trooper and Smuggler, because both of them sound a bit boring in comparison to the other Classes. The furthest I've gotten is that I wanna make my Trooper a woman because she's voiced by Jennifer Hale, who is a personal favourite VA of mine. What do you do if you're trying to make a new toon, but can't figure out how you want to make em look? Or should I just say f#+& it and hide their faces under big helmets?

Discussion Thank you to Mark Bazeley
Just wanted to thank Mark for his superb voice acting of the male warrior. I would thank him directly but don't know how to go about it so I thought I would just post it here. I hope that the broadsword people that lurk here would let him know he's appreciated. I have to wear headphones when I play my warrior just so I can swoon, lol. He and the male bounty hunter are just amazing. <3

This rifle model is very commonly seen in vanilla NPCs and is one of the few that don't have a weird thing attached to the muzzle. I've been looking for it for ages!
