Mission

Missions are game objectives that yield a reward, often in the form of player missions or Crew Skill missions. These may be referred to as "quests" in other games. Mission icons Yellow triangle This indicates a mission is available. Blue triangle This indicates a repeatable mission is available.

Small yellow triangle with circling parentheses This indicates an area where a mission objective can be found. Party mission objectives use the same icons as above but are shown in purple. Types of missions Aside from the normal Empire or Republic missions, there are other types of missions. Area missions Area missions are acquired when entering certain areas of a planet. Bonus missions Bonus missions are often given while doing missions. Completing these missions aren't necessary but give additional XP and bonus mission chains can give additional rewards. Class missions Class missions are specific to each class and drive the storyline throughout the game. Class missions will sometimes take place in class story areas. Companion missions Companion missions can either be conversations that provide XP and affection or missions that have objectives that need to be met. Companions will indicate when they have a mission by an icon on their portrait saying they would like to speak in private or a mission icon over their head while on the player's starship or cantina. Crew Skill missions Crew Skill missions provide a way of gathering crafting materials, gifts, and other goods at a cost. The list of available missions changes from mission to mission. Companions have a chance of failing the mission, returning with no reward. Both gathering skills and mission skills have missions available. Group missions Group missions are specific to flashpoints and operations. Heroic missions Heroic missions can be found on every planet and require at least a group of 2 players to complete. These missions take place in heroic areas and involve strong, elite, and sometimes champion difficulty mobs. Heroic missions can be repeated daily. Space combat missions Space combat missions are acquired on a player's starship and reward XP and Fleet Commendations. There are also missions that can be completed daily.
