Star Wars Zero Company Characters and Squad Members

The roster splits into five groups: Hawks, seven authored Operators, the custom Operators you create, the non-combat staff at The Den, and the Infinite Coil.

The authored roster EA has published is: Hawks, Trick, Tel-Rea Vokoss, Cly Kullervo, Luco Bronc, Jae Mordant and Kabb Uppercut.

What each group is

• Hawks: a former Galactic Republic officer who leads Zero Company. Species, appearance, voice and specialization are yours to choose.
• Authored Operators: story recruits with fixed identities and backstories — the seven above. Gear, appearance and specialization can be adjusted, but the story identity stays.
• Custom Operators: recruits you create or select, with editable identity and combat options. They cost Credits.
• The Den personnel: staff who handle recruitment, treatment, facilities, equipment and planning rather than filling every combat slot.
• The Infinite Coil: the cult led by Kundri Fathom and the campaign’s central opposition.

Roster caps and deployment rules

• The roster caps at 20 Operators and starts at 7. Den facility upgrades, story progress and new authored recruits raise it.
• The standard deployment limit is 4 Operators, and some missions let you control additional characters.
• Hawks must deploy on story missions, and Hawks dying is an automatic mission failure that has to be replayed.
• Permadeath is enabled by default, and three injuries on one Operator are fatal while it is on.

Each Operator’s unique talent

Every authored Operator has one published talent. The talent decides their job in the squad rather than their raw strength:

Trick’s and Hawks’ talent descriptions do not appear in the official operator page text, so they are left out rather than filled in.
