Here is all the new content you’ll find after today’s update, 8/22/18.
NEW CHARACTERS
This week we’re bringing a little bit of everything to the holotable with a new character, new ship, and another rework in the Bounty Hunter faction.
Aurra Sing is a master of stealth and assassination whose skills are well known throughout the galaxy. Cad Bane features a brand new contract and payout along with a reworked kit.
Bossk’s deadly ship, the Hound’s Tooth, is a sustainable front line taunting tank that introduces the new debuff, Breach.
For more info on these units, check out the kit reveals and strategy guides below:

Contraband Cargo
Keep on Smugglin'! With this release we're adding a new “resource event” (think Credit Heist & Droid Smuggling), called "Contraband Cargo". In this event you use Cargo Ships to try and sneak one over on the Empire and get your smuggled goods to their destination.
- Event begins: August 23rd
- Level requirements for event: 60+
The event has 4 mission tiers:
- Easy is intended for players who have just unlocked the Ships feature and are around level 65. The recommended/required units are any Fleet Commander and 3 Cargo ships at level 65+, with crew at 65+ gear 7+. This tier primarily awards things meant to help players build a stronger fleet of Cargo Ships to do the more difficult tiers of the event. Note that due to how Ships fundamentally works, you will need 3 Cargo Ships to enter the event, but it meant to be easier, so that you do not need very powerful ships to complete.
- Moderate is intended for players around level 75. The recommended/required units are any Fleet Commander and 3+ Cargo ships with crew at level 75+, gear 8+ and mods equipped.
- Tough is intended for players at level 85 with multiple cargo ships and a powerful Fleet Commander. The recommended/required units are any Fleet Commander, 3+ Cargo Ships, and crew at g10+ with level 15 5-dot mods and all units at level 85.
- Deadly is intended for players at level 85 with 5+ cargo ships and a powerful Fleet Commander. This tier awards Reinforcement Ability Materials as well as Ship Omega Materials. The recommended/required units are any Fleet Commander, 5+ Cargo Ships, and crew at g12+ with level 15 5-dot mods and all units at level 85.
All tiers in the events share Victory Counts. For an explanation of what a Victory Count is, follow this link
New Ship Class Tag: Cargo Ship
We have added the "Cargo Ship" ship class tag to the following ships:
- Slave 1
- Ghost
- Phantom 2
- Lando's Millennium Falcon
- Millennium Falcon (EP7)
Even though many ships can technically be a "Cargo Ship" the intent of this tag is not to add it to all such ships, but rather ones which might reasonably be usable for illicit or scoundrel type purposes. We will evaluate on a case by case basis the ships which will be getting this tag with future ship releases.
Galactic Bounties 2
Bounties are Posted! We have created a new Galactic Bounties event! This event will feature 5 new Bounties to capture. This event will exist alongside the previously released Galactic Bounties event (now named Galactic Bounties 1 to help distinguish the two events). As before, assemble a squad of Bounty Hunters and track elusive targets across the galaxy to capture them (and earn their shards).
- Event begins: August 24th
- Level requirements for event: 75+
The bounties in Galactic Bounties 2 are:As with the previous Galactic Bounties event, Galactic Bounties 2 is a rare event, but with two Bounty events your Bounty Hunter squad is now twice as useful. Good hunting!
- Easy: Qi'ra
- Moderate: Visas Marr, Amilyn Holdo
- Tough: Ahsoka Tano (Fulcrum)
- Deadly: Enfys Nest

- The "Main Quest - Ships Room - Prelude Event" requirement will now correctly complete when finishing the last tier of Mace Windu's Fleet Commander Training event, rather than the last tier of his Fleet Challenge.
- [Localization] The "Imperial Chimaera Legendary Event" Tier 6 Strategy Tips text has been updated.

Took me maybe 5 minutes for the update to come through but it’s good now. I was also worried about my arena climb for a moment.
I do have a question about the new Contraband Cargo. What exactly does it reward? I get that the highest event awards a ship omega. Is it a ship version of Credit Heist or a combination of Credit, Droid, and Omega events for ships?
I think there was a mistake in the Content post... I don't see anything about the Mods slicing in there.
I got a pile of mods, and want to get to work on them!
This.
No Mod changes this patch but they will be here soon!
And events. I haven't done my run on the current event yet. Hope this gets sorted soon.
New toon locations are in place on cantina and hard nodes but none of the shards that have gone to fleet battles are there
Edit:
My bad, excuse my dumb ***
1. Why is Hound's Tooth not in the classification class of "cargo Ship"?
2. Will there be any compensation for the DSTB fix as that has been a reason for guilds not getting maximum stars? Orbital bombardment is vital to clearing waves.
Thanks for nothing, CG. Guess I'll have one or two of them in a year, maybe. If more important characters don't out-prioritize them, which will probably happen - Bastila will definitely be a higher priority than any of these when she inevitably gets put there, and she's just the one we already know for sure.
1) Cap has a requested for Hound's Tooth to get the tag. The list of ships for the event was decided weeks ago. He said on reddit. Fingers crossed in a future update.
Thanks for looking out, I rarely hit Reddit.
Any chance they fixed foo to operate the same way?? Because nothing worse than giving marching orders to fox and having traya, thrawn or nihilus wipe buffs out before he can take a turn.
Really thought i was done with Phoenix a long while back.
Took a bit to find (not a regular redditor, or whatever the term is), but yeah, not sure what to take from that.
