Star Wars: The Old Republic - Legacy of the Sith

The Shifting Sands of Conflict

The central narrative thrust of this expansion revolves around an escalating war that is spreading across the galaxy. Dangerous fringe elements are emerging from the dark corners of the galaxy while the enigmatic Darth Malgus pursues a secret, galaxy-altering agenda. Players are immediately drawn into this unfolding mystery, where their choices continue to shape the fate of the galaxy.

Return to Manaan

A key focus of the new storyline is the return to the underwater world of Manaan. This planet, renowned for its vital supply of kolto—a crucial medical resource—has been invaded by the Sith Empire. Players will engage in intense military campaigns across Manaan’s underwater facilities, with distinct story paths available depending on whether the player aligns with the Republic or the Empire. Successfully completing the Manaan storyline unlocks a new, faction-specific base of operations.

Unraveling the Secrets of Elom

The narrative continues onto the planet Elom, where players investigate a ruined Sith Fortress that has been mysteriously erased from historical records. Rumors suggest Darth Malgus may have uncovered ancient relics there that hold critical importance for the future of both the Jedi and the Sith orders. This new storyline is accessible both as a solo narrative experience as well as a cooperative multiplayer Flashpoint.
