Galactic Season 9 Begins – “Flashpoint Resurgence”: Galactic Season 9 will begin at 7.7.1 launch and run for 26 weeks.

Galactic Season 9 Rewards: Claim new titles, collapsible and themed weapons, the Commandant’s and Ascendant Admiral Armor Sets, and five mounts.
Modernization of Character Creation and Design: As part of ongoing efforts to modernize many elements of the game, the character select screen has received improved lighting and a new Depth of Field update that keeps the focus on the player character. Plus, the face definition and texture smoothing that was implemented in Game Update 7.7 has been added to Rattataki, and hundreds of new hair and montreal color options have been added for Cathar, Chiss, Cyborg, Human, Miraluka, Mirialan, Togruta and Zabraks.
Andor-themed Items: A new hairstyle customization, head accessory, and outfit inspired by the Disney+ series Andor™, and an Imperial Scout Mount will be coming to the Cartel Market in 7.7.1. There will also be a unique companion customization reward inspired by Andor that can be used on companion droids 2V-R8 and C2-N2, acquired by redeeming a limited time log-in reward currency.
Quality-of-Life Improvements, Including for F2P: With this update, F2P/Preferred players will be able to access companion customizations, use Legacy titles, earn Rest XP, get the first Cargo Bay for free, use the Hide Head slot, withdraw more credits from Escrow when using Cartel Coins, and access all quickbars.
