8 distinct class stories, each with three chapters across 12 planets
Each planet has optional unique side Planetary Quests and Exploratory Quests, which are different on the Imperial and Republic faction
Repeatable Heroics (2+ player content that can be completed solo), which are different on the Imperial and Republic faction
