SWTOR Galactic Seasons 11, titled Light and Shadow, began August 18. Its reward structure brings back material from Shadows of the Underworld and A Passage of Peace, including the companions Fen Zeil and Amity.

SWTOR Galactic Seasons 11: confirmed details

Players progress through a free reward track, while subscribers can also claim the subscriber track. Companion gifts on the seasonal vendor have lower prices, with a further discount for Fen Zeil and Amity gifts during the season. Both seasonal vendors receive previously retired rewards, and the tracks include currencies, crates and Galactic Season Tokens.

What changes for players

Returning companions give newer accounts access to rewards that were previously tied to older seasons. Veterans who already completed those tracks still receive a new set of rewards, so the season is not only a rerun. Discounted gifts reduce the resource cost of raising the returning companions to influence level 50.

Timing and wider context

The season is live as of August 18. Exact objectives and the full reward order should be checked in the current in-game season panel, especially for the distinction between free and subscriber claims. Vendor inventories can rotate separately from the progression track.

The feature list and timing above reflect the developer’s announcement published on August 18, 2026. Future hotfixes can adjust balance or availability, so live values should be checked against the current client.
