  "summary": "In Star Wars Zero Company, players must choose a class specialization for their character, Hawk. This choice determines the active skills and passive bonuses for Hawk. The specializations can be changed later in the game without penalty, specifically once Cycle 3 is reached.\n\nThere are eight specializations to choose from. According to PC Gamer, the Scoundrel specialization is a good starting choice, as it complements Hawk's Fearless Leader talent, which increases assist damage for the squad. The Scoundrel's abilities focus on making enemies vulnerable, penetrating defenses, and increasing assist damage.\n\nPlayers can also change specializations for hired operators once Cycle 3 is reached, but not for named characters like Hawk. The initial companions include a Scoundrel, a Soldier, and an Assault, which may influence the starting specialization choice.",
