Follow the released campaign loop from the Den to Operations and cycle-ending Tactical Missions, with the current action economy, expiry rules, and evidence boundaries.
Star Wars Zero Company is a released single-player tactics campaign. Return to the Den to manage the company, choose Operations from the Galaxy Map, deploy into turn-based combat, and finish each campaign cycle by selecting a Tactical Mission. During your shared squad turn, every deployed squad member starts with three Action Points; movement and abilities consume those points according to their cost.
| Campaign layer | What the current game requires |
|---|---|
| The Den | Manage the company, operatives, relationships, loadouts, and campaign decisions between deployments |
| Galaxy Map | Choose available Operations and watch their remaining availability; some activities expire |
| Operation | Complete a campaign activity that can advance objectives, resources, or investigation work |
| Tactical Mission | Select the cycle-ending deployment; the choice closes that campaign cycle |
| Story exploration | Some story missions include a small third-person free-roam area before or between tactical encounters |
| Squad turn | Spend each operative's three Action Points across movement and abilities before ending the shared turn |
| Campaign risk | Permadeath is enabled by default but can be disabled; do not treat every difficulty setup as the same risk model |
The player leads Hawks and assembles a team from authored and custom operatives. The roster includes clone troopers, Mandalorians, scoundrels, astromechs, and a Jedi. Operatives improve skills and build relationships that can unlock combat synergies, while Hawks and custom recruits can change appearance, loadout, and abilities.
Plan a campaign cycle without wasting an activity
- At the Den, finish upgrades, loadouts, healing, and relationship decisions before selecting the deployment that ends the cycle.
- On the Galaxy Map, check which Operations are available and whether their window will expire.
- Choose optional work before the Tactical Mission only when its reward or investigation progress justifies the time and risk.
- In combat, budget three Action Points for every squad member across the shared turn; do not assume moving ends an operative's contribution.
- Before starting, decide whether default permadeath matches the campaign you want. It can be disabled, but that choice changes the consequence of injuries and losses.
Patch 1.1 is the current answer boundary. It fixes named combat, save, progression, and specialization issues, so retest a launch-day problem on the updated build before rebuilding a squad around it. The official material still does not establish one universal best team, every branch or ending, or an exact mission count. For the available roles, use characters and specializations. For campaign risk, use permadeath, difficulty, and mission types. For co-op expectations, read the single-player answer.
