EiF Patch Notes 09/28/2025 – Tanaab Harvest Week 1

The Taanab Harvest has returned to An Empire in Flames!

  • Players can participate by traveling to Taanab, to the Arcon Multinode Hybrid Plantings.
  • The event will run for four weeks, with each week bringing new missions, new prizes, and new risks.
  • Assist one of four farmer cooperative NPCs to earn a unique prize.
  • Participate in multiple events to earn more coins to purchase prizes from the farmers cooperative R4 agromech vendor!
  • And new this year: speak to the farmers’ flight operations officer, Wes, to undertake missions in Taanab space against Norulac ships. Fight brand-new enemies from the cockpit of starfighters never seen in SWG before

JtL

  • Ion encumbrance system added. Ion cannons no longer do hull or armor damage, but instead shut down components when struck.
  • Added a new command: /coldStart, which forces all ship systems to reboot and clears ion encumbrance.
  • Mission NPCs can now only be attacked by the mission owner (or other pilots grouped with the mission owner).
  • New space zone: Taanab.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where a player’s server position continued to be updated by a multipassenger vehicle after the player dismounted.
  • Fixed an issue with the Taanab space map. (Client patch required – make sure you re-run your patcher!)

Empire and Remembrance Day Event

Join the community on Empire in Flames for this year’s celebrations of Empire Day and Remembrance Day! While once a commemoration of the foundation of the Empire, Empire Day is now also a day for loyal Imperials to mourn the loss of their Emperor. For the former members of the Rebellion, what was originally a day to honor soldiers fallen in battle in Remembrance Day now also celebrates the New Republic’s founding. Whether you fight for the Empire or the New Republic, players can listen to speeches, tear down or put up propaganda posters, race across Endor, group up and join the PvE and PvP battlegrounds, or even take to stars in a state-of-the-art starfighter and escort a corvette to the Alderaan system. Completing objectives will award you Empire/Remembrance Day coins, which can be used to barter for rewards including new schematics, air-speeders, and decoration items that haven’t yet been seen on the server. Unlike other holiday events, Empire Day allows you to participate in as many events as you want, as many times as you want. This means you can grind out all the coins you might need in the course of a couple of days, or take your time and earn them over the course of the event.

This year, Empire/Remembrance Day starts on July 6th and will run until August 12th and boasts a new event, as well as new rewards to come. Head on over to Kuat City on Kuat (for Imperials) or Hanna City on Chandrila (for NR) to get started.

Once you land at your respectively-aligned city, talk to your Event Coordinator for a quick run-down about the holiday, and the types of events available to you. Each Coordinator also has a BB-unit that you can speak with to check your Empire Day or Remembrance Day Coin balance, as well as redeem your earned coins for the available rewards.

Speak with Ingri if you’re NR, or Wulf if you’re Imperial.

Amidst the decorations and troops gathered in celebration, a handful of other NPCs are scattered about that will have more information on quests or activities you can participate in.

How to Harvest – Week 3

The Taanab Harvest continues with a new series of events and activities for the third week. Thank you to Traycn for putting together this guide!

Hello, Empire in Flames players! Welcome to the third week of the Taanab Harvest. We’re on the back half of the event, and the activities will only increase in difficulty, but the rewards are about to stack up as we prepare the Taanab farmers for the imminent pirate invasion!

For Week 3, our quest givers have a brand new set of tasks for you to complete at the Arcon Multinode Hybrid Plantings POI on Taanab. You’ll need to seek out Kari, Jaa, And Vinon to begin these quests, earning you Harvest Coins that you can spend at the reward vendor. The first quest you complete on your chosen character will earn an exclusive reward! Like the previous weeks, you can only earn one of the three rewards on a particular character.

By completing Kari’s quest, you’ll earn a Carbon-Frozen Canister that contains the Creature Handler Massiff pet.

 

If you complete Jaa’s quest, you’ll gain the Taanab Wheat Tea, which increases your dodge chance by 50% for a short time and comes in a stack of 50.

 

Finally, completing Vinon’s quest rewards you with the Smuggler’s Lucky Dice for a guaranteed Armor Effectiveness slice.

 

Below is a breakdown of the three quests for you to check out! Feel free to read through them to see what tasks you’ll be working on this week as we prepare for the final stretch of the Taanab Harvest, and good luck out there!

The Taanab Harvest – Week 2

Week 2

The Taanab Harvest event has entered its second week!

  • Players who travel to the Taanab Arcon Multinode Hybrid Plantings can speak with co-op president Bukrom in person, who will give players details.
  • The Taanab Harvest is a four-week event, with each week introducing a new phase with new missions, loot, and escalating danger.
  • Quest givers have a new set of missions for Week 2 as the harvest continues, with Norulac predations rising and the farmers racing against time to combat the threat.
  • Kari Saarek needs volunteers to whip militia recruits into fighting shape by taking them on patrols around the hex farm.
  • Jaa Haruss needs brave players to investigate reports of Norulac activity across Taanab.
  • Vinon Daivik is looking for travelers to track down contacts who may provide the Taanab farmers the materiel they desperately need to fight the Norulacs…for a price.
  • Special note: Vinon Daivik’s quest cannot be repeated this week.
  • Completing missions for a co-op leader will provide a single-time, unique prize, in addition to harvest coins. You can only earn one of these unique prizes per week. (I.e. if you earn Kari Saarek’s unique mission prize, you cannot earn Jaa Haruss or Vinon Daivik’s prize for this week!)
  • NOTE: Solia Maduel’s quests are disabled. Maybe next year.
