Connecting story · VERIFIED CHAPTER ORDER

Where to go first

Complete the Emperor-related Echoes of Oblivion story and the separate Mandalorian continuation before entering the Legacy of the Sith expansion.

Start: Finish Objective Meridian → The Lingering Darkness / The Task at Hand → Echoes of Oblivion

Use the full map (default M), confirm the tracked purple mission in the log (default L), and switch to the current floor after a door or lift. Your chosen Combat Style determines combat abilities, but the Imperial campaign route applies to Sith Warrior, Sith Inquisitor, Imperial Agent and Bounty Hunter, with class-specific dialogue or scenes where applicable.

Evidence boundary: This guide verifies the named mission sequence and broad entrances from quest records. It does not claim to have personally tested every interior turn, lift or coordinate. Where exact navigation has not been verified, follow the named phase and the current in-game mission breadcrumb.

Important routing and progression notes

Combat: use a healing companion when available, interrupt dangerous enemy channels and use the defensive abilities suitable for your Combat Style in boss encounters. Some scripted chapters temporarily change companions or playable characters.

  3. Locate the next landmark 1

    After Objective Meridian, continue the ODESSEN political and Mandalorian handoffs, including MEETING JEKIAH ORDO and CHECKING IN WITH THE AVENGER. Shae Vizla offers that latter contact near X -132, Y 195 in Alliance Operations.

  4. Locate the next landmark 2

    SHAE VIZLA then gives ECHOES OF OBLIVION in ALLIANCE OPERATIONS around X -77, Y 262. The quest requires Checking In with the Avenger and concerns Kira Carsen and Scourge's missing transport.

    Check the Mission Log for a completion or the next story title. If the objective is still active, read the stuck guidance below; repeatable Flashpoint runs and bonus tasks can differ from the story-linked version.

Cannot find the objective?

The trigger is Checking In with the Avenger, not simply the Objective Meridian boss. Find SHAe VIZLA in Alliance Operations, first around X -132, Y 195 and then around X -77, Y 262.

Other activities: Optional combat and bonus tasks are not required unless the active primary mission explicitly requests them.

Mission or chapter sequence and named settings are researched from the cited mission task record where provided. Descriptions identify real task names and phase changes; unverified left-right turns are deliberately not invented.
