Where the Wild Roads Lead

The traveller left Hanna City's voices behind. Beyond the road, grazers lifted their heads and a survey party waved from the grass. Far away on Mandalore, six armored figures broke the silence. The wilderness was no longer empty.

Twelve places worth remembering

At each destination, the traveller paused. The coordinates had become more than marks on a chart: they were memories worth keeping.

  • All twelve current points of interest across Chandrila and Mandalore now award exploration badges.
  • Chandrila: Hanna City, Nayli Outpost, Crystal Canyon, Lake Sah'ot, Chandriltech and Gladean State Park.
  • Mandalore: Bralsin, Keldabe, Sundari, Norg Bral, Enceri and Shuror.
  • Approach within 75 metres of the listed outdoor destination to discover it. Previous visits are not automatically credited; return after updating.
  • Each badge has a readable name and description. Earned badges persist and use the normal character-sheet and player-examine displays.

Life beyond the landing fields

The next tracks belonged to a nerf herd. The ones beyond those were deeper. A scientist urged caution; an outlaw preferred that nobody hear the warning.

  • Eighteen new encounter types, nine per planet, draw from 29 creature and NPC identities.
  • Chandrila adds grazers, meadow and nerf herds, predators, peaceful surveyors and travellers, and highwaymen.
  • Mandalore adds plains and dryland herds, voritor and gurk hunters, graul packs, surveyors, salvage parties and pirates.
  • Four rare named threats await: the level-250 Gladean Grove Warden and Chandrilan Outlaw Captain, level-350 Ashen Rancor, and level-300 Mandalorian Exile Captain.
  • These are dynamic encounters as players travel, not guaranteed spawns at every waypoint. Peaceful parties are ambient NPCs, not new shops or quests. Rare enemies retain their established source loot rather than introducing promised unique drops.

The Watch walks Mandalore

Bloodguard, Wraith and Ghost moved through the wilds under a shared oath. To an ally, their colors meant company. To everyone else, the road suddenly felt much narrower.

  • Mandalore gains frequent level-350 Death Watch wilderness patrols: Bloodguards, Wraiths and Ghosts.
  • A dedicated population allows up to 24 six-member patrol groups, subject to normal spawning conditions.
  • Existing Death Watch alliance rules remain in force. Original bunker enemies, pets and other planets are not globally rescaled.
  • City and travel-hub protections remain; Mandalore and Hoth still prohibit player construction.

Bring the right charts

Close the game and run the current launcher's Scan/Update before reconnecting. The badge names and displays need the matching client update.

The download page now offers the verified complete launcher 2026.9.26.6 from the current host, replacing its obsolete repair and ZIP links. This is a corrected download route, not a newly numbered launcher binary. That version includes the existing one-file scan-loop repair and normal allied-display integration.

If an older launcher cannot update itself, close it and use the complete installer. Keep normal Windows security prompts enabled. Existing users on the current version need only Scan/Update for this game release.

Server and download checks passed. Actual badge display, discoveries and wilderness encounters remain welcome in-game reports; please include your planet, coordinates and exact symptom if something is wrong.
