Capital Games will be testing a new tool over the next week. Players may receive an unusual inbox message, most likely containing 1 credit. The announcement will be updated once testing concludes.

A new blog post from Capital Games titled "Soon" has been published. The post contains only the text "TM". No further information or details were provided.

Capital Games removed several bundles from the store due to a bug causing failed purchases and players receiving crystals instead of the bundle's contents. Affected players will receive the correct bundles once the issue is resolved.

A hotfix was deployed to address an issue preventing players from signing up for Grand Arena Championships (GAC). The team was aware of and investigated the problem, implementing the fix approximately 30 minutes after announcing its imminent release.

Today's update introduces the Rebel B-Wing, makes Kix shards farmable, and adds Vane to Chromium Packs. Captain Drogan will have limited-time additive drops, and Marrok is now an Accelerated Character. Several bugs and adjustments were also implemented for Rogue One, Dark Side Vision Rey, and Leia's event.

Capital Games has acknowledged issues with the Jedi Master Mace Windu (JMMW) event. A fix will not be ready for the current run, but a rerun of the event is planned for the next game update.

A new Light Side Attacker ship, the B-wing, is revealed. It is designed to enhance the Home One Rebel fleet, reducing cooldowns and synergizing with Home One's Master Plan ability. The B-wing unlocks via a Marquee event starting October 7, and its pilot is Captain Drogan.

Relic Delta is an upcoming system designed to address vertical progression in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. It modifies damage based on the relic level difference between characters. The system will be applied to all relic levels and aims to reward investment, protect new content, and speed up older content. Relic 10 will also be introduced with new Signal Data.

The developers are investigating the balance between the Profundity and Leviathan capital ships. They acknowledge Profundity's rise over Executor and the intended continued superiority of Leviathan. Future adjustments to Profundity and/or Leviathan may occur to align with the intended meta, but no hotfix is planned for this issue currently.

A closed playtest is underway for a new feature internally called "Relic Delta," focusing on how Relic Amplifier levels scale power differentials in matchups. The playtesters will openly discuss their feedback, but cannot stream or record placeholder assets. More details will be shared closer to release.

A hotfix was issued to address an issue where the Era battle did not recognize R9 GL Hondo. An additional run of the event has been scheduled for September 22nd.

This update introduces Galactic Legend Hondo Ohnaka and makes Brutus available in Chromium Packs and Shipments. Shin Hati is now Accelerated, and Quiggold shards are farmable from Fleet Battles 3-D (Hard). Several bugs were fixed, including issues with Bad Batch Riposte, SEE's Linked effect, and Crosshair (Scarred) recovery while Captive.

The Era of Deadly Pursuit introduces The Stranger as a new Conquest character, with 4-LOM and Zuckuss as additional characters. The event features a new Era Battle called ANALYSIS / PARALYSIS set in Empire Strikes Back environments. The post details the rewards for both the Free and Episode Pass tracks, as well as the available items in the Episode Shipment.

The Leviathan capital ship is receiving an update to its kit. The unique ability will now prevent Galactic Republic, Jedi, and Rebel enemies from assisting or attacking again if their attack targets a Sith unit. This change aims to reinforce Leviathan's position in the fleet meta while preserving the strength of the updated Profundity fleet.

A new Support, Cargo Ship, Rebel, Rogue One unit, Rogue One, is being released. It is designed to be a lifter for the Profundity fleet, especially against Executor. The unit provides fleet benefits from Reinforcements and has strong synergy against Empire enemies. It will be unlocked through a Marquee Event starting September 23.

Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka's kit details were discussed, including his effectiveness against non-Jedi/Sith teams, pre-loaded ultimate charge, and the rationale behind flat Mastery gains. His release date is set for September 17th.

The Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka has been revealed, featuring mechanics centered around 'Profit' stacking. His kit includes abilities that steal buffs, grant assists, and provide significant buffs to Pirate and Smuggler allies. He is designed for the new Order 66 Raid and features synergies with specific Pirate characters.

A pop-up notification granting Crystals, which previously appeared for players at level 85, will reappear for those who closed it. Players can comment with a desired character and their Ally code for a chance to receive additional Crystals.

This update introduces Captain Silvo to the game and makes Captain Ithano shards farmable from Fleet Battles 1-A (Hard). Kix is now available in Chromium Packs and Shipments, and Great Mothers has been added to Accelerated Characters. Several bug fixes and adjustments were also implemented.

Captain Silvo, a Dark Side Support and Leader, will be available on September 9th. He focuses on stealing and redirecting turn meter, and synergizes with Pirate allies, especially Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka, for whom he is a requirement at Relic 7.
