Star Wars Zero Company Named Characters Guide: Trick, Tel-Rea, Cly, Luco, Jae and Kabb

Pre-release / Updated August 24, 2026

Quick answer

The authored Operators currently confirmed for Zero Company include Trick, Tel-Rea Vokoss, Cly Kullervo, Luco Bronc, Jae Mordant, and Kabb Uppercut. They are named story characters with their own identities and roles, while Custom Operators let you build additional squadmates around your preferred team.

The practical takeaway is simple: do not choose a “best character” from pre-release descriptions alone. Choose the authored Operators whose battlefield functions and story relationships fit the mission, then use Custom Operators to cover gaps. Exact stats, upgrade paths, recruitment order, and final squad limits are Retail verification required.

How authored Operators fit into your squad

Hawks leads Zero Company, and the squad can combine Authored Operators with Custom Operators. That means the named cast is not the whole team-building system: authored characters provide fixed identities and story presence, while custom characters provide flexibility.

Before launch, evaluate a character using three questions:

What battlefield job does the official material clearly suggest?
What kind of cover, range, or target does that job appear to prefer?
What gap would a Custom Operator need to fill beside them?

Avoid treating the following role notes as a final tier list. They are planning guidance based on confirmed descriptions and official gameplay examples.

Trick

Trick, formerly CT-3301, is a Clone Trooper and a longtime associate of Hawks from their Republic military service. His description presents him as a seasoned soldier who enjoys games of chance.

That makes Trick the clearest “reliable soldier” reference point in the current cast. If you want a familiar military foundation while learning the game, he is a sensible character to understand first.

What is not confirmed yet: his complete Specialization kit, exact weapon stats, upgrade choices, and whether his “games of chance” identity produces a specific mechanical effect. Retail verification required.

Tel-Rea Vokoss

Tel-Rea is a Tognath Jedi Padawan who joins Zero Company while honoring the legacy of her late Jedi Master. EA has also confirmed that she is the only Jedi Padawan class Operator in the game.

Her most important tactical clue is Force Push. Official material specifically gives the example of Tel-Rea pushing an enemy out of cover and into a squadmate’s Overwatch. In practice, think of her as a displacement and setup piece: she can help turn a protected target into a more vulnerable target for the rest of the squad.

Do not assume that every Force ability, Jedi upgrade, or Padawan survival rule is known. Exact ranges, costs, damage, status effects, and progression are Retail verification required. Because Tel-Rea is the only confirmed Jedi Padawan Operator, her availability and survival may matter more than an ordinary duplicate class would.

Cly Kullervo

Cly is one of the last survivors of Clan Verminoth and joins Zero Company in pursuit of revenge. The official Operator profile confirms her unique talent, Combat Jump: she uses a jetpack to jump to a target location, push enemies out of position, and inflict Burn. Upgrading the talent increases range and Burning stacks.

The planning lesson is mobility plus disruption. Cly appears suited to changing the shape of a fight: she can reach a target location, displace enemies, and apply a damage-over-time effect. Consider her when a mission may reward access to awkward angles or when an enemy formation needs to be broken apart.

Exact Burn behavior, damage, cooldowns, defensive values, and the full Specialization tree remain Retail verification required.

Luco Bronc

Luco is an Umbaran sniper who defended Umbara during the Republic invasion. Although he resents the Republic’s occupation of his homeworld, he works with Zero Company.

The confirmed sniper identity gives Luco a clear planning question: can the mission provide useful sightlines, safe firing positions, and enough distance for a long-range Operator to matter? Pairing a sniper concept with characters who expose or displace enemies may be promising, but the final numbers and abilities are not available yet.

Do not publish a definitive “best sniper build” before retail testing. Luco’s exact range rules, damage profile, mobility costs, and interaction with cover are Retail verification required.

Jae Mordant

Jae comes from the noble House Mordant of Shu-Torun. She built a mining citadel on Luunata before the Separatist-aligned Infinite Coil took the planet. She helped convince the Republic to hire Zero Company and wants to reclaim her home.

At present, Jae is best understood as a story-important authored Operator whose personal objective is tied to Luunata and the campaign’s wider conflict. Her tactical role and complete gameplay kit should not be guessed from her backstory.

Exact class, weapons, Specialization, abilities, Bond effects, and mission-specific availability are Retail verification required.

Kabb Uppercut

Kabbney “Kabb” Uppercut is a veteran crook and former prizefighter. The Felshi works with Zero Company, has a cybernetic arm, and is known for his knockout punch. Kabb is an original species created for Star Wars Zero Company.

The confirmed combat example is especially useful: Kabb’s Uppercut can knock an enemy out of cover and set that enemy up for a squadmate’s Overwatch. Treat him as a close-range disruption clue, not as proof that he is automatically the strongest front-line Operator.

Exact melee range, survivability, knockback rules, AP costs, and upgrade paths are Retail verification required.

How to plan with the cast before launch

Use the characters as complementary problem-solvers rather than ranking them prematurely:

Use a displacement idea when an enemy is protected by cover.
Use Overwatch after you have created a predictable enemy path or exposed a target.
Use a sniper concept only when the map and sightlines support it.
Use Custom Operators to cover the role that the authored cast cannot provide in your chosen squad.
Keep Tel-Rea’s unique Jedi Padawan status in mind when planning a campaign roster.

The strongest pre-release conclusion is not a fixed six-character lineup. It is that Zero Company rewards combinations: Force Push or Uppercut can create a better Overwatch opportunity, while Cly’s Combat Jump can reposition enemies and apply Burn.

Bottom line

Before launch, read the named cast as a set of distinct story characters with useful tactical clues—not as a completed tier list. Tel-Rea, Cly, and Kabb already have confirmed displacement or disruption examples; Luco has a confirmed sniper identity; Trick provides a Clone Trooper foundation; and Jae is a major story-linked Operator whose final combat role still needs verification.
