SWTOR Rakghoul Alderaan November 2026 runs from 10 to 16 November, and anyone level 25 or higher can take part. This month’s Rakghoul Resurgence outbreak is on Alderaan, with T.H.O.R.N. recruiting players to help contain the plague and earn event rewards.
For SWTOR Rakghoul Alderaan, start at a News Terminal on your Republic or Imperial Fleet. The event has moved between planets in past rotations, so a guide pointing you towards Tatooine or Corellia won’t give you the right destination for this month’s outbreak.
SWTOR Rakghoul Alderaan November 2026 start and end times
The official event dates are 10 November to 16 November 2026. Broadsword states that the event begins and ends at 12:00pm GMT. That’s noon in the UK, 7am on the US East Coast and 4am on the West Coast.
You must be at least level 25 to take part. If your current character is below that requirement, you will need to reach the qualifying level first. The event is already underway as of 12 November, so players who want to earn reputation and look through the rewards have only the remaining days of this rotation.
How to start SWTOR Rakghoul Alderaan November 2026
Broadsword directs players to the News Terminals on the Republic or Imperial Fleet for information about the active outbreak. Read the event notice before travelling to Alderaan. The announcement does not specify a new quest-giver location on the planet.
- Log into a character at level 25 or higher.
- Travel to the Republic Fleet or Imperial Fleet, depending on your character’s faction.
- Find a Fleet News Terminal and read the Rakghoul Resurgence announcement.
- Follow the event directions to the Alderaan outbreak and the T.H.O.R.N. activities available to you.
The Hyland Organization for Rakghoul Neutralization, or T.H.O.R.N., has declared a level-two emergency. The quarantine explains why T.H.O.R.N. is recruiting volunteers to fight the outbreak and earn reputation.
Don’t confuse the current location with previous versions of Rakghoul Resurgence. Screenshots and walkthroughs set on Tatooine or Corellia may describe similar mechanics without giving the right travel instructions for this November Alderaan event.
SWTOR Rakghoul Alderaan November 2026 rewards
Broadsword has named the following rewards in its November event announcement:
- T.H.O.R.N. reputation, earned through the recurring outbreak activities.
- Merciless Seeker’s Armour Set.
- T.H.O.R.N. Epicenter and Dark Vector Armour Sets.
- Outbreak Response weapons.
- Alliance Contact: Doctor Lokin.
- Infected Varactyl and Infected Dewback mounts.
- Ferocious Rakghoul mini-pets.
This is the publisher’s featured reward list, not a promise that every item drops directly from every enemy or can be obtained on your first visit. Different rewards can be tied to reputation, activities or other existing event systems. The announcement does not provide fresh drop-rate percentages or a guaranteed boss-by-boss loot table, so those shouldn’t be invented.
How to protect yourself during Rakghoul Resurgence
T.H.O.R.N. recommends vaccination before entering outbreak areas. Look for a trusted medical supply droid and follow its vaccination or treatment options if you develop symptoms. That advice comes directly from the November event notice.
Broadsword hasn’t announced a new infection timer or a change to how medical treatment works for this rotation. Players returning after a long break can use the Fleet event notice and in-game guidance to see the current options rather than rely on a guide written for a much older outbreak.
Is SWTOR Rakghoul Alderaan November 2026 worth playing?
If you’re chasing cosmetics, look at the infected mounts, armour sets and mini-pets first. If you want to build T.H.O.R.N. reputation for later purchases, focus on completing the available event missions before the outbreak moves on.
The SWTOR Rakghoul Alderaan outbreak ends at 12:00pm GMT on Monday, 16 November. You can return when Rakghoul Resurgence runs again, but future rotations may take place on a different planet.
