The next chapter
In one Live stream Among other things, the next chapter of the main story was announced with “Desperate Resistance”.
After the events in “Chains in the Dark”, you recruit Sa'har as a new companion and go on a risky mission to recover the holocron and find out more about Heta's plans.
You also travel to Hutta to negotiate with the businessman Yusinduu, the Hutt, while a workers' uprising is raging in the Minboosa district.
If you want to take a break from the fighting, you can farm on Dantooine. You get to know them through a short story and later receive a piece of land. At the Spring Festival of Abundance you can also collect seeds, dance, bake pies, care for animals and take part in an egg hunt.

“Challenging new single-player ventures” also await you, starting with the “Basilisk Prototype.” This is linked to the story of Lanz Vizla and deals with the training of the Basilisk prototype B3-S1 aka “Bessie”.
This can become your companion and be used by you in limited time windows. You must continuously train with him so that you can reach his full combat potential and activate new abilities. This way he becomes a permanent companion.
