Zero Company's main authored field companions are Trick, Tel-Rea, Cly, Luco, Jae, and Kabb. They join Hawks with fixed histories, personalities, and voiced scenes, while custom Operators let you fill the roster with recruits of your own design. [ea-gameplay]

Trick is a clone veteran. Tel-Rea is a Jedi Padawan with a unique combat role. The remaining authored Operators broaden the company's mix of species, loyalties, and tactical styles. At the Den, support characters such as Bennic, Runa, Neesh, and M-3VO help run the operation rather than functioning as a second generic recruit list.

Conversations and shared deployments can build Bonds between Operators, unlocking combat synergies and changing some character moments. Bonds are not a romance system. The campaign has no romance mechanic, and squad relationships do not create branching endings. [starwars-cast]
