Star Wars: The Old Republic might not be canon anymore, but the game still retains a cult following. As of writing time, the 10th anniversary is several months away. However, despite its age, you can enjoy the game’s deep story and explore the vast universe of Star Wars as a free-to-play game.
Even so, the game’s story can be confusing for some, thanks to the game’s long life. However, the community has gathered a streamlined story order. Keep on reading to find out how to progress through the story mode.
SWTOR Story Order
Initially, you start with character creation and picking a faction. As all choices experience the events at roughly the same time, you can always come back later.
Since we can’t fit summaries into the article, we’ll keep things short. You can play Flashpoints solo or co-op, and we’ll list them out as well if possible.
Each class has a different story, and there are also extra quests. However, we’ll list out the main locations for you.
- Starter planet different for each class
- Pick a fleet to join
- Heading to your faction’s capital planet
- Depending on your faction, either Republic Taris or Imperial Balmorra

- Tatooine
- Alderaan
- The option you didn’t pick between Republic Taris or Imperial Balmorra
- Quesh
