How to start

Use the floating News Terminal on Carrick Station.
Travel directly to Dantooine or use Activities → Solo.
At the landing zone mission board, take Patrol: Dantooine and Event: Pirate Incursion.
Collect the six faction dailies and all three nearby heroics.

Daily and weekly targets

Patrol requires all six daily missions. The event weekly requires 10 daily missions and 5 heroic missions, so plan on at least two characters or two days.

Turn-ins award Dantooine Initiative reputation and Dantooine Surveyor's Notes.

Efficient mission route

Grab every mission before leaving the landing area.
Combine nearby scan, sabotage, artillery, pirate, and supply objectives.
Use mission items directly from the tracker whenever possible.
Return only after all six daily counters are complete.
Group for the heroics before players disperse after turn-in.

Heroics

Reactor Ransom is a four-player encounter with Lieutenant Yarvok; fight him or pay the enormous ransom for the alternate achievement.
Shiny New Toy sends the group into a Nova Blade facility.
Beware of Hugo features the event's large Kath Hound boss.

Rewards and priorities

Save Surveyor Notes while raising reputation. Featured rewards include an Ugnaught companion, Walker and Kath Hound mounts, Nova Blade and Dantooine Homesteader armor, a Kath Hound pet, weapons, and farm-themed stronghold decorations.

Fast guild run: clear all six dailies as one sweep, turn in Patrol, then run the three heroics together. Repeat the next day to finish the weekly.
