Companions are NPCs that accompany players during gameplay, the first being acquired while on the player's starting planet. Each class can unlock five unique companions throughout the game in addition to a generic ship droid companion and two bonus companions which can be unlocked through missions.
Companions provide commentary, combat support depending on their specialization, and perform Crew Skills. Players gain influence faster or slower with them depending on conversation choices and by giving gifts. Some companions are romance options.
To speak with a companion in private and accomplish their individual missions, simply take them to a cantina or starship.
