01 · IMPERIAL FLEET
Where to start Crimson Fang
On Imperial Fleet / Vaiken Spacedock, find the Combat Training sector and its glowing blue Uprising table. Choose the Story, Veteran or Master terminal, then select Crimson Fang. Accept or share the same difficulty with your party; choose a matching Weekly if desired. Use the shuttle icon beside the mission in your quest journal to enter, or use the shuttle in Inventory → Mission Items.
Not a solo Flashpoint: Story means easier four-player content, without the scripted Flashpoint combat support droid. Manual group entry is available. Activity Finder playlists have changed between updates; the Fleet mission table remains the dependable place to select any named Uprising. If starting a new Uprising after abandoning another, the group leader can right-click character portrait → Additional Commands → Phase → Reset All Active Flashpoints, but this loses progress in the previous phase.
02 · OBJECTIVE-BY-OBJECTIVE ROUTE
Where to go, what to click, and what comes next
Follow these numbered steps in order. Controls are called out where defeating enemies is not sufficient to move the quest forward. Do not confuse optional achievements with required doors or boss phases.
- 01
Defeat Jor Mesok by the first ramp
The first boss blocks the next door. When Jor jumps to a protected upper perch, break his line of sight by hiding among boxes below him or in the T-shaped area during his second relocation.
- 02
Unshield the ventilation controller
Kill the MERCENARY CANNONEER among the reinforcements. When the shield depleted warning appears, RIGHT-CLICK the newly BLUE VENTILATION CONTROLLER; repeat as required by the fight.
- 03
Finish Mesok and leave his room
Return damage to Mesok between waves and dodge his large RED CIRCLE. Do not run past him expecting the door to unlock.
- 04
Defeat Takkan Russco
When he becomes immune, kill the smaller enemies first. Avoid orange DEATH FROM ABOVE and carry a following purple circle away before it becomes BLUE LIGHTNING.
- 05
Defeat KT-55 and PR-98
Attack the droid WITHOUT a swirling orange or blue shield. Switch whenever the sound/red-text message indicates a shield swap; step away from malfunctioning add circles.
- 06
Cross the floor lasers
Follow the next corridor, avoiding active laser strips. The FAR LEFT EDGE is a safer alternative to crossing every central laser.
- 07
Optional: escort Whisper through the cantina
Attacking his pursuer triggers a room-wide battle. If you intervene, stay close because WHISPER rushes ahead and can pull enemies into other fights.
- 08
Optional: grapple to the observer
After the cantina, before final boss, look HIGH near the medcenter for a small BLUE GRAPPLE BOX. Use it to reach the pipes and optional observing agent.
- 09
Defeat Elarea Aldraste
Step sideways out of her RED FRONTAL CONE. When all but one teammate are stunned, the chosen player must survive her DUEL using defensives.
- 10
Exit from final room
Use EXIT AREA or RIGHT-CLICK the BLUE SHUTTLE DOOR after the final mission stage updates.

04 · TROUBLESHOOTING
When the mission will not advance
Why does the next door not open?
Check whether your current objective requires a remaining enemy wave, a glowing blue console, or a temporary ability. Work through the numbered route instead of attempting to skip the locked door.
Is Story mode a solo story instance?
No. Story is the easier FOUR-PLAYER UPRISING difficulty; experienced players can sometimes solo one with an appropriate companion, but this is not the supported Solo Flashpoint style.
