Kabbney "Kabb" Uppercut is one of the story companions in STAR WARS Zero Company. He is a burly Felshi veteran crook and former prizefighter who now works for Zero Company, known for his cybernetic arm, his namesake knockout punch, and a distinctive rhyming dialect.
Background
Kabb made his name in the fighting pits before turning to a life of crime, and he brings the muscle of a brawler to a squad otherwise built around blasters. His cybernetic arm is his signature, the source of the uppercut that gives him his name. STAR WARS Zero Company marks the first appearance of a Felshi in the Star Wars galaxy, so much of what defines his species is established here rather than carried in from elsewhere.
Role in the Squad
Kabb is a close-range specialist whose Uppercut ability can send enemies flying, knocking them out of cover and setting them up for a waiting squadmate. That control role makes him a natural partner for snipers and Overwatch fire. His blunt, rhyming patter gives the squad some of its color.
The Uppercut pays for itself when it works. If the punch takes an enemy out, every Action Point spent on it is refunded, so a well-timed finisher costs nothing and a squad can chain onwards from it. It also throws bodies, which makes Kabb one of the reliable ways to put an enemy over a railing or into a drop. Upgrading the talent scales both halves of that: the damage it deals and how far it knocks a target back.
Kabb is not purely a melee Operator. He is also shown firing a weapon named the M-32, which puts a gun in the hands of the one squad member built around a fist. Beyond the name, nothing about it has been published, including what it does and which of the four Weapon Specializations it belongs to. See Weapons and Weapon Specializations.
In Star Wars Lore
Because the Felshi are new to Star Wars with this game, Kabb's background is original rather than drawn from existing canon. As with every companion, anything the game does not show on screen is not confirmed as part of Zero Company's own telling.
What is established about the species is established through him. The Felshi come from Felshiia, a shallow estuary planet in the Outer Rim. They are described as squat, hardy and perpetually beady-eyed, and are most often found doing hard labor at the fringes of the galaxy. Read against that, a career in the fighting pits and then in crime is less a character quirk than a way off the bottom rung.
