Dilemmas
A dilemma splits the roster before Hawks decides. Everyone who backed the option you take gains bond with Hawks and with each other; everyone who argued against it loses bond with Hawks, and a backer and an opposer lose bond between themselves. Recruits react through their temperament; the named operators react by name.
What each recruit temperament backs
A recruit you hire or create is filed under one of these in the creator, and the game says nothing else about it: there is no description, no stat and no blurb anywhere in the files. The only thing a temperament is, is the list below. Pick the one that agrees with how you intend to play, because every disagreement costs bond with Hawks.

We have something in common: we've both been screwed over by Gorga the Hutt. Skully lost thousands after Gorga manipulated him on a deal, and now he's taking matters into his own hands. He plans to assassinate Gorga and wants to know if we'll share some intel to help him out.
Share intel. Gorga set us up to be killed. It's only fair for us to return the favor.Strongly againstTrick, Mentor Sell intel. We're happy to help, for a price.AgainstTrick, Firebrand, Mentor, Professional Stay out of it. It's not for us.Strongly againstFirebrand
Warn Gorga. Gorga's a scumbag, but he's our scumbag. Was that an eyestalk peering out of our refresher? Our technicians Clev and Disha investigate and confirm there is somehow a juvenile dianoga in our plumbing. What should we do?
Let the dianoga be. Disha's preference. Humanely relocate the dianoga. For a price, we can hire a specialist. Let Clev exterminate the dianoga. Clev's preference. We've learned that a small-time fixer by the name of Nool Vinklex is trying to track down Zero Company and sell us out to the Empire. Our sources tell us that Vinklex is a desperate, hapless character: he owes gambling debts to the Pykes, and is going after Zero Company in a last-ditch attempt to get enough credits to pay them off.
Offer him money to leave us alone. A small price to keep the Empire off our tails. Ignore him. The Empire won't take Vinklex seriously, and neither should we. Tell the Pykes where Vinklex is. The risk is too great to ignore.ForJae Mordant, Bruiser, Maverick, Rogue, Specialist, Wildcard The Den is spaceworthy for now, but Neesh has warned us that we need to do regular maintenance to ensure the old bulk freighter stays operational. Luco's millicreep droid would be a perfect tool for wiring repairs deep in the Den's avionics crawl spaces, but the Umbaran doesn't trust anyone else with his droid.
Insist that Luco allow us to use his droid. He needs to do what's best for the team. Let Luco make the decision. It's Luco's droid, and his call to make.Strongly againstTrick, Rake Offer to pay Luco for use of his droid. If we want to use Luco's droid, it's only fair we offer him something in return. Halas Fang, aide to Senator Ask Aak of Malastare, hired Zero Company to deal with some Coruscanti gangsters who were trying to extort him. That was months ago, and he hasn't paid us yet, despite multiple reminders. At this point, we usually send some operators with "people skills" to collect. But Halas claims he just needs a little more time to come up with the credits.
Send a team to collect. We're owed what we're owed.ForKabb Uppercut, Bruiser, Mentor, Professional, Specialist, Wildcard Give him more time. Halas' word is good. He'll pay us when he can.AgainstKabb Uppercut, Bruiser, Maverick, Mentor, Professional, Specialist, Wildcard Let him pay another way. A Senator's aide must have something valuable to trade. It's that time again: we need to send the Caisson out to pick up fuel for the Den. In this new Empire, hypermatter is hard to come by. But luckily, we have two leads: Runa's expensive, reputable source, an ex-exec from the former Techno Union; and Neesh's shady, cheap source, a wizened Underworld procurer.
What should we do?
Buy from Runa's source. Let's do this the right way. Steal from Runa's source. An ex-Techno Union exec won't miss a bit of hyperfuel. Buy from Neesh's source. We love a bargain. Search for another source. There must be a better way.Strongly forTrick, Gunny, Wildcard AgainstMaverick, Rake
An unarmed freighter carrying relief supplies for civilians on wartorn Ryloth has made an emergency landing here at the Ring of Kafrene. Without many credits to spare, the crew will be forced to sell their cargo in order to pay for repairs.
Do nothing. Not our problem. Help the crew of the relief ship pay for repairs. It's relief aid for civilians, we have to help out. Charge the crew for your services. The Ring can be dangerous without a guide. We'll help the relief ship get its repairs, for a price. A shady self-described "businessman" approaches us with a proposition. He wants to set up shop in the alley next to the Den, and offers to give us a small cut of his profits if we turn a blind eye to his mysterious business.
How should we handle the shady businessman?
Agree. Sounds like a good deal to us. Refuse. This sounds like more trouble than it's worth.Strongly againstMentor, Rogue
Extort him. Something tells us this guy can afford it. Find out what he's up to. If he's doing something dangerous, we should alert the authorities. Rumors are spreading on the Ring about Zero Company's newfound prosperity. People are asking questions. Bennic strictly forbids us from sharing any details of our deal with Republic Intelligence, but agrees we should get ahead of the gossip. What do we tell people?
Tell people we're just good at our jobs. If you squint, it's the truth.ForLuco Bronc, Firebrand, Mentor, Rake, Specialist Keep our mouths shut. Eventually, it'll blow over.ForTrick, Bruiser, Firebrand, Rake Spread rumors to throw people off the scent. Let's change the conversation.Strongly againstProfessional
The Den's been drifting for a while now, and everyone's feeling a little stir crazy. Some operators are requesting use of the Caisson for recreational trips to nearby spaceport towns. Others argue that shore leave is too dangerous to risk with an Imperial warrant on our heads.
What should we do?
Allow shore leave. Our operators can take care of themselves.Strongly againstTrick, Professional Don't allow shore leave. We can't take the risk.Strongly forTrick, Professional, Rake, Specialist Only allow shore leave to safe locations. We need to make sure there's no Imperial presence.Strongly againstRake, Rogue
It has been proposed that Zero Company morale would benefit from more team building events.
Podracing Night. Throw some podracing on the holo. Everyone loves podracing.Strongly forTrick, Bruiser Music Night. What better way to bring people together than to give them a chance to perform for their coworkers? Independent Study. Give everyone a couple credits and let them make their own fun.Strongly forProfessional, Specialist
No Team Building. Zero Company doesn't do team building. We're professionals, not a social club. Two Anzellan brothers named Manu and Vanu Bep approach us with a strange request. From what Neesh can understand, they are treasure hunters in possession of a locked camtono which they want to store somewhere for safekeeping. Would Zero Company be willing to host this camtono, in exchange for many credits? Their one condition is that we not ask any questions about its contents.
Take the deal. What we don't know can't hurt us. Don't take the deal. We have a bad feeling about this. Ask them questions. We're going to need some more details. Ask around about the Brothers. Someone must know what's in that camtono. An associate director in the Trade Federation recently fled Cato Neimoidia following a failed coup against Viceroy Nute Gunray. We just found out they're holed up on the Ring of Kafrene: they've been sending a coded broadcast requesting Republic asylum in exchange for information.
Threaten them for intel. If they won't play ball, we'll hand them back to the Separatists. Help them contact the Republic. Bennic can pass their broadcast along to Republic Intelligence.AgainstKabb Uppercut, Maverick, Mentor, Professional, Rogue, Wildcard Threaten them for credits. For a price, we'll keep our mouths shut.Strongly againstTrick, Firebrand Sell them out to the Trade Federation. The Viceroy will pay well for the defector's location.AgainstJae Mordant, Bruiser, Gunny, Mentor, Professional
