Quick take
- Hawks and hired Operators can be created from eight named species.
- Custom Operatives are recruited by the player and can have appearance, clothing, voice, and name customized.
- The game has eight standard Specializations, each with three ability types.
Who you create
Character creation applies to Hawks and hired Operators. StarWars.com says both can be created from eight species: Devaronian, Human, Neimoidian, Ovissian, Togruta, Twi'lek, Weequay, and Zabrak.
That sits beside the authored roster, not in place of it. A named Operator therefore is not automatically another blank creation slot.
Confirmed character-creation options
Each has an Ultimate, Standard, and Passive ability. Use the current creator and squad screen to see which choices are available to the character you are making.
| Creation stage | Confirmed choices |
|---|---|
| Character type | Hawks or a hired Custom Operative |
| Species | Eight named species |
| Identity and look | Name, appearance, clothing, voice, attire |
| Combat setup | Specialization, talents, loadout, abilities |
Creation continues into squad planning
From The Den, players recruit, progress, and dispatch Operators. Squad bonds can unlock support abilities and cross-training benefits, so character creation is the start of squad building rather than a complete answer to mission selection.
