Captain Hawks
You command Hawks, a disgraced former Republic captain who now leads Zero Company. Hawks is fully customizable — appearance, species, voice, and starting combat Specialization — and is the one operator who can never be permanently lost: if Hawks is downed and killed in a mission, the campaign ends and you must restart.
The Authored Operators
Authored Operators join Zero Company through the story:
- Trick — Once CT-3301, a clone trooper and long-time ally of Hawks. Voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.
- Tel-Rea Vokoss — The Tognath Jedi Padawan, and the only Jedi in the game.
- Cly Kullervo — One of the last survivors of Clan Verminoth, and the only operator who can wear Mandalorian armor.
- Luco Bronc — A sharp-tongued Umbaran sniper with no love for the Republic that occupied Umbara.
- Jae Mordant — A noble displaced when the Infinite Coil seized her homeworld.
- Kabb Uppercut — A veteran crook and former prizefighter with a cybernetic arm and a rhyming dialect.
The Den's Support Staff
Four named characters run the base between missions: Bennic Halloren (Republic Intelligence), Runa Blask (Operations & Finance), Neesh Renark (Armory & Black Market), and M-3VO / Meevo (pilot and medical support).
Custom Operators & Species
Custom Operators can be recruited at the Den and assigned any of the standard Specializations. Official materials name Devaronian, Human, Togruta, Twi'lek, and Zabrak among the custom species, with "and more" implied — avoid treating any specific total as final.
Antagonists
The main antagonists are Kundri Fathom, leader of the Infinite Coil, and her lieutenants Visser and Typhon. Read the full faction breakdown on the Enemies page.
Bonds & Permadeath
Squadmates who fight together build Bonds that unlock cross-training bonuses. Permadeath is on by default and can be toggled; on standard difficulty, three injuries mean permanent death.
