Star Wars Zero Company Dantooine mission guide

The direct answer

The Star Wars Zero Company Dantooine walkthrough focuses on Rescue Operation. Reach the captive Republic intelligence officer while the target clock shows four turns remaining, trigger the rescue, keep the officer alive, and move every Operator into the yellow extraction zone. This is a speed and movement mission rather than a full enemy-clear mission.

The Dantooine mission board also lists Tel-Rea’s Hero mission Sisters and optional contracts such as Cantina Takedown, Bar Brawl, Rescue Operation, Buyer Beware, Durable Frame, and Penetrating Rounds. The exact classification of every entry and the complete Dantooine mission table are To be confirmed outside this board state.

Rescue Operation objectives

Rescue Operation has three stages. First, move a unit to the captive within the turn limit. Second, reach the Republic intelligence officer and complete the rescue. Third, evacuate every Operator while the rescued officer survives.

The four-turn clock is the first pressure point. Plan the opening around distance covered rather than enemies defeated. Outlaw Marauders and Outlaw Snipers can block the path, but the squad only needs to deal with them enough to keep moving.

Use the current objective marker to choose the route. Move from cover to cover and place Overwatch on a unit that ends exposed. Force Pull can remove enemies from Overwatch positions so the squad can advance without triggering reaction fire.

Reach the captive quickly

Push the squad forward from the starting positions as soon as the mission begins. A fast Operator should close the distance to the target while the rest of the squad supports the lane. Every attack that does not remove a blocker or protect the route uses time that the four-turn window cannot recover.

The recorded route sends a Jedi ahead for the final approach to the prisoner. Reaching the Republic Officer’s position clears the Get to the Target prompt and triggers the rescue. Harmony builds as the Jedi and squad coordinate, but the exact resource values and ability ranks are To be confirmed.

Do not leave a unit exposed at the end of the turn just to gain one extra tile. Use cover when possible and use Force Pull against the enemy Overwatch position when it opens the lane. The objective is a timed move, so a safe route that reaches the target is worth more than a wide fight that defeats every Outlaw.

Escort the officer to extraction

Once the officer is freed, the extraction zone appears and the mission becomes a retreat. Start moving the squad and the protected officer immediately. Skip fights that do not stand between the squad and the yellow zone because non-essential combat only consumes movement.

Expect a Reinforcements Incoming wave during the retreat. Do not stop to trade shots unless the enemies block the route or threaten the officer. Surgeon’s Tools can help when the officer takes damage while the squad keeps moving toward the zone.

Plot each Operator’s route with the Move command and check the Action Point cost. Bring units into the zone one at a time while the rest hold defensive positions. Get the final Operator and the officer inside before ending the turn, then confirm that the extraction condition has resolved.

The mission ends when every required unit is in the yellow area. A short escape cinematic is followed by the MISSION SUCCESS screen. Leaving an Operator outside or allowing the Republic Officer to die ends the run, even if the other units have already reached the zone.

Other Dantooine entries

Sisters is listed as a Hero mission for Tel-Rea, who receives a transmission from Trilla Suduri about Jedi survivors gathering on Dantooine. Cantina Takedown concerns a Republic official held by the Coil, while Bar Brawl concerns a Coil presence in a Dantooine cantina. Buyer Beware involves retrieving technology Gorga returned and later wanted again.

Durable Frame and Penetrating Rounds are listed as targeted prototype or elite-unit work. The board also lists Rescue Operation as the Dantooine contract described by the detailed walkthrough. These entries show that a single planet can contain Hero, Optional, and prototype objectives with different route requirements.

General Dantooine preparation

Read the briefing before selecting the squad. Each Operator normally has three Action Points, and movement, attacks, abilities, and Overwatch compete for those points. On a timed rescue, choose the unit that can reach the target and keep healing and defensive support for the protected officer.

Missions can be restarted from the game menu. Restart when the four-turn approach is lost, the officer dies, or the extraction route leaves a unit behind. The exact reward, campaign consequence, and availability of every Dantooine mission are To be confirmed.

For Rescue Operation, keep the plan narrow. Reach the officer, preserve the target, ignore enemies that do not block the route, and count every unit before evacuation. That is the recorded Dantooine route; the exact reward and wider campaign consequence remain To be confirmed.
