Quick notes
- Use recruitment locations as a checklist. The companion table contains recruitment-location spoilers but leaves the main story twist unstated.
- Choose companions to cover a missing role. The active group combines the hero with up to two companions.
- Return to conversations between major objectives. Companion stories progress through conversations and campaign milestones.
- Keep optional recruits alive and available. Juhani can be lost through the confrontation on Dantooine, while HK-47 must be purchased.
