Star Wars Zero Company centers on Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads the mercenary outfit Zero Company, joined by a roster of authored characters you meet as the campaign unfolds.
The Main Character: Hawks
You play as Hawks, a former Republic officer whose military career ended in an undisclosed disaster. Hawks is fully customizable: appearance, species, combat Specialization, and even first name can be changed.
Together with the clone trooper Trick, Hawks forms Zero Company, an unconventional outfit recruited from across the galaxy. Hawks cannot die permanently, unlike the rest of the squad.
The Core Roster
The authored characters include Trick the clone trooper, Tel-Rea Vokoss the Tognath Jedi Padawan, Cly Kullervo, Luco Bronc, Kabb Uppercut, Jae Mordant, M-3VO the droid, Runa Blask, Bennic, and Neesh Renark.
The antagonists include Kundri Fathom, the leader of the Infinite Coil, and her lieutenants Visser and Typhon. A Mandalorian of the ancient Clan Verminoth is also part of the wider cast described in official materials.
Voice Cast
Clone trooper Trick is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, known for voicing the clone troopers across Star Wars animation. The full voice cast includes a Jedi Padawan and other roles, with additional casting details listed on the wiki's Voice Cast page.
Custom Operators and Species
Beyond the authored characters, you can recruit and fully customize your own Operators, choosing species, Specialization, weapon, voice, and name. You can even build your own astromech droid.
Custom Operators can be created from eight Star Wars species: Devaronian, Human, Neimoidian, Ovissian, Togruta, Twi'lek, Weequay, and Zabrak.
Known Cameos
Anakin Skywalker is confirmed to appear, as shown in the Summer Game Fest 2026 gameplay trailer. Other characters from Star Wars: The Clone Wars may also appear but have not been officially confirmed (to be confirmed).
Factions in the Story
The game's factions include Zero Company, the Infinite Coil, and the Outlaws. The Infinite Coil is a Separatist-aligned cult led by Kundri Fathom that seeks to spread the Shadow Plague across the galaxy.
Hawks and Zero Company are hired by a Republic Intelligence officer and a dispossessed noblewoman to investigate the Coil, setting up the campaign's central conflict.
Bonds and Relationships
Squadmates who fight together build Bonds that unlock cross-training bonuses, and even natural enemies can learn to work together. At key story moments, Dilemmas force decisions that every squad member has an opinion about, with permanent consequences for those relationships.
This means the roster is not just a list of characters but a web of relationships that changes across a playthrough, and every playthrough reaches the same ending with a different journey.
