Bellum Gero Patch Notes – August 21, 2026

Patch Time: 2:00 PM EST
TRE Update: No TRE update required

Mission Terminal Distance Filtering

A new quality-of-life option lets players filter mission-terminal listings by distance range, making it easier to find missions that match how far they want to travel. It works alongside existing mission-terminal functionality: view the selected range, then choose the missions to accept.

Staff-Led Group Limit

  • Player-led groups remain capped at 50 players.
  • Staff-led groups have no group-size limit.

This supports large Bellum Gero server events where participation may exceed the normal group cap.

Brackaset Resource Adjustments

Resource amounts associated with Brackasets have been adjusted to better fit Bellum Gero's crafting and resource economy.

Mandalorian Loot and Crafting Fixes

Death Watch Armor

  • Registered all 10 Death Watch Mandalorian Armor Draft Schematics in the global crafting schematic map.
  • Mandalorian armor loot schematics can now properly teach their corresponding crafting schematics.
  • Every crafted Mandalorian armor piece is now guaranteed 4 sockets server-side.

Mandalorian Jetpack

  • Registered the Mandalorian Jetpack Draft Schematic so its corresponding loot schematic can properly be learned.
  • The Mandalorian Jetpack schematic now grants 1 crafting use.

Staff Recovery / QA Command

/mandoFoundlingAdmin grantarmor <rank|all> [playerName]

This command provides socketed Mandalorian armor grants for staff QA, testing, and recovery situations.

Jedi PvE Seclusion System

Jedi Seclusion

Padawan and higher Jedi can now choose Seclusion through a Force Shrine. A Secluded Jedi withdraws from normal Jedi/Bounty Hunter PvP participation and can focus on PvE Jedi gameplay. Changing Seclusion status has a 72-hour cooldown and authoritative eligibility checks to prevent abuse.

A Jedi cannot enter Seclusion while subject to active bounty conditions, active combat, Temporary Enemy Flag / TEF conditions, or incompatible Overt status. Seclusion is enforced through player attackability, duel requests, and bounty-target eligibility.

Overt Jedi PvE Incentives

Jedi who remain Overt receive PvE-only bonuses for legitimate PvE encounters and healing contexts:

  • Padawan: +10% eligible Jedi Special Damage and +10% Force Healing Effectiveness.
  • Jedi Knight: +15% eligible Jedi Special Damage and +15% Force Healing Effectiveness.
  • Jedi Master: +20% eligible Jedi Special Damage and +20% Force Healing Effectiveness.

There are no Overt Jedi damage or healing bonuses in PvP. These bonuses never apply against players, player-controlled pets, droids, vehicles, or other PvP combat contexts. Secluded Jedi retain normal baseline 100% PvE damage and healing effectiveness.

Jedi Knight and FRS Covert Status Fix

Jedi Knights and higher who belong to an FRS Council can now voluntarily become Covert. They are exempt from the faction recruiter's Covert-status restriction and the FRS maintenance task's forced-Overt behavior where appropriate.

Bounty Hunter Tracking Fix

Successful Bounty Hunters are now properly removed from a Jedi target's active-hunter tracking list when the bounty is completed. This clears stale state that could otherwise prevent a Jedi from entering Seclusion or becoming eligible for future bounty interactions.

Jedi Bounty Hunter Restriction

Padawan and higher Jedi who are also Bounty Hunters can no longer accept PvP player-Jedi bounty missions from Bounty Hunter terminals. They may continue accepting PvE Bounty Hunter missions.

GCC Build Compatibility Fix

Reformatted WorldBuilderTravelPointEditor.h and WorldBuilderExteriorBuildingLibrary.h to resolve GCC -Wmisleading-indentation errors. This internal server compatibility fix requires no player action.

Black Sun Event Preparations

New Black Sun mobiles have been added for the Sunday, August 23, 2026 Bellum Gero event: a Black Sun invasion at Mos Eisley Starport, where forces will attempt to sabotage trade routes.

August 14, 2026

Bellum Gero Live Patch – August 14, 2026

Server Stability & Maintenance

  • Improved full server shutdown speed by eliminating redundant recursive destruction of outdoor child objects during global zone cleanup.
  • Added a targeted Rori shutdown fix that clears the Hyperdrive Research Facility before normal zone cleanup.
  • Prevented new and scheduled shuttle-registration tasks from interfering while shutdown cleanup destroys zones and travel objects.
  • Removed temporary Rori and zone-clear diagnostic/profiling code while restoring normal production logging.

These changes substantially improve server shutdown/startup turnaround.

New Feature – Factory Queuing

Manufacturing installations can now queue and automatically process up to 10 manufacturing schematics. One schematic is ACTIVE at a time; additional schematics remain WAITING and process in queue order. The first valid schematic becomes active, and the next eligible schematic starts automatically when production completes.

  • Schematics blocked by missing resources, components, hopper capacity, or supported production restrictions may be temporarily skipped while remaining in their original queue position.
  • Queue evaluation is bounded to prevent endless cycling; queue order, state, and remaining production counts persist through server restarts.
  • Existing one-schematic factories retain normal Core3 behavior, with safeguards against duplicate assignments, multiple active schematics, duplicate production, and queue overflow.

The queue determines which schematic is active; normal Core3 mechanics still control resource and component consumption, manufacturing timers, crate/item creation, output hopper handling, production-limit decrementing, power, and maintenance.

This provides crafters with continuous factory production across multiple schematics while retaining the existing SWGEmu/Core3 manufacturing system.

PvP & Jedi Balance

Squad Leader / PvP TEF

  • Players with an active PvP TEF can no longer receive Squad Leader benefits; existing effects are removed when a player acquires a PvP TEF.
  • Eligibility automatically returns when the PvP TEF expires, while eligible non-TEF group members continue receiving Squad Leader abilities normally.

Force Run 2

  • Force Run 2 now reduces the Jedi's outgoing damage by 90% while active in PvE and PvP across supported normal combat and DoT damage paths.
  • Incoming damage remains unchanged. Force Run 1 and Force Run 3 retain their existing behavior.

Acklay Instance Updates

/waypoint yavin4 7044 -6435 Acklay Room 1
/waypoint yavin4 7044 -6755 Acklay Room 2
/waypoint yavin4 -6966 -6576 Acklay Room 3
/waypoint yavin4 -6966 -6896 Acklay Room 4
/waypoint yavin4 -7100 6940 Acklay Room 5
/waypoint yavin4 -7100 7260 Acklay Room 6
/waypoint yavin4 6739 6823 Acklay Room 7
/waypoint yavin4 6739 7143 Acklay Room 8
  • Rooms 2, 4, and 8 retain the existing 320-meter spacing from their paired rooms.
  • Both room and accessArea coordinates were updated where required; Rooms 5 and 6 remain unchanged.

Jedi Trainer Quality of Life

Added /findmytrainer new, allowing Jedi to request a new randomized Jedi Trainer location.

Improved Locked Container Loot

Slicer's Contraband Cache rewards now scale with the slicing player's level. Empty container results were removed, loot weights rebalanced, and tiered rewards and jackpot opportunities improved.

Buff Bot Restrictions

Buff Bots can no longer be summoned inside buildings. They may now only be summoned outdoors or in player camps.

Bug Fixes & Gameplay Improvements

  • Fixed recruiter blank conversations and Daily FOB waypoint loss – Issue #738.
  • Fixed Jedi gaining Visibility from NPCs that should not generate Jedi Visibility.
  • Restored Foundling waypoints without overriding player choice.
  • Any Armorsmith may now learn applicable looted armor schematics; wearing restricted Mandalorian armor still requires Mandalorian Tribesman progression.
  • Recruiter legacy exchanges now safely replace each armor schematic one-for-one.

Combat & Instance Changes

Profession Fixes

Musician Buffs

Fixed an issue where Musicians only provided Focus and Willpower. Musicians now correctly provide all three intended buffs.
