Star Wars: The Old Republic 5.10.3 "The Dantooine Incursion" Launches Later This Month

Star Wars: The Old Republic announced update 5.10.3 today titled "The Dantooine Incursion" which is scheduled to launch sometime later this month. 5.10.3 introduces a new limited time event on the planet of Dantooine and will join the rotation of other recurring events in the game, such as Rakghoul Resurgence and Relics of the Gree.

Unable to breach the Republic lines and attack the planet directly, the agents of the Empire have recruited the brutal Nova Blade pirates to attack Dantooine from within the Republic's own territory, catching the planet's defenders completely off guard with the overwhelming violence of their attack.

In the ensuing chaos, elite Imperial forces have infiltrated Dantooine and established a hidden base on the planet's surface, aiming to cripple the Republic's efforts with a series of surgical strikes. The Nova Blades lash out at anyone and everyone they can find; despite originally being hired by the Empire, this brutal pirate armada cares only for the plunder they can claim. Staggered by the pirates' ruthlessness and the Empire's cunning, the Republic's harried defenders put out a call for assistance from anyone who can help them hold Dantooine against the enemy's deadly incursions...
