01 · IMPERIAL FLEET
Where to start Landing Party
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 Landing Party. 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
Enter with entire group ready
Use the Imperial Fleet Combat Training Uprising terminal and quest SHUTTLE. Wait before triggering first hostile group.
- 02
Defeat Scout Captain Sterla
Avoid moving LIGHTNING ORBS and her surrounding RED CIRCLE. Master: spread after GRAVITY VORTEX and kite the YELLOW FOLLOWING MARKER away as it deposits damage circles.
- 03
Clear the approach to the beast
Continue through the remaining required enemies along the active mission route.
- 04
Defeat Primal Gargantuan
When HOWL starts, MOVE INSIDE THE ORANGE SAFE CIRCLE to survive. This reverses the usual instinct to avoid every colored circle.
- 05
Optional: hidden observing agent
In the stretch AFTER GARGANTUAN and BEFORE LOCATE THE COMMANDER, check a SMALL BUSHY HILL for the observer.
- 06
Pick a portable turret at the beach
In the BEACH BUNKER, RIGHT-CLICK a YELLOW-ICON CRATE for the temporary Carbonite, Sentry or Missile turret.
- 07
Signal the Zakuulan invasion
RIGHT-CLICK THE TERMINAL ON THE SIDE OF THE COLUMN to start the beach fight. Then use your new TEMPORARY TURRET ABILITY while waves are arriving.
- 08
Clear beach Zakuulan forces
Keep the group together through the waves until the route to Commander Tassar opens. Turret ability will not work after this phase.
- 09
Defeat Commander Tassar
Move dual PURPLE PUDDLES together in spare floor space, orient HURL knockback toward a safe area, and have the UNSTABLE CONDUIT purple-marked player spread from allies.
- 10
Exit via shuttle or Exit Area
After Tassar falls, use EXIT AREA or the BLUE SHUTTLE DOOR.

The step-by-step route above explains the mechanics alongside the point where you actually encounter each boss. Encounter labels can include a wave or objective rather than a conventional single boss.

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.
