Added the Caisson's confirmed class, role and Republic medevac history, and removed the hedges saying none of that was documented
11The Caisson is the transport ship used by Zero Company in STAR WARS Zero Company. It carries the squad from their home base, the Den, out to the missions scattered across the galaxy map, and it is flown by the droid pilot M-3VO.22The Company's Ride44Where the Den is a defunct bulk freighter berthed on the Ring of Kafrene, the Caisson is how the company actually reaches the fight. Every Tactical Mission and Operation the squad takes on begins with a trip aboard the ship, making it the link between base management and the battlefield. Because the company has no formal backing, the Caisson is the kind of working vessel a band of mercenaries relies on rather than a polished military transport.5+Where the Den is a bulk freighter permanently docked at the Ring of Kafrene, the Caisson is how the company actually reaches the fight.

Because the company has no formal backing, the Caisson is the kind of working vessel a band of mercenaries relies on rather than a polished military transport.66Class and Role8+Official Lucasfilm reference material is specific about what the Caisson is. It is a heavily modified Corellian light freighter, and it serves the company as both a transport and a combat dropship, which is a wider brief than simply carrying a squad from one place to another. The same material ties the ship to its pilot: M-3VO has been flying it since their former life with the Republic, where ship and droid operated together as a dedicated medical evacuation unit. That history explains both the pairing and the droid's continuing role in the Den's medbay.10+DetailDescriptionClassHeavily modified Corellian light freighterRoleTransport and combat dropship for Zero CompanyPilotM-3VOHome portDocked with the Den at the Ring of KafreneFormer serviceRepublic medical evacuation, crewed by the same droid12+Launch material also uses the Caisson name for the ship's hyperdrive when describing how the company travels between systems, so the phrase "the Caisson hyperdrive" turns up alongside the ship name itself. Both refer to the same vessel.13+M-3VO815The Caisson is piloted by M-3VO, a droid who serves the company between missions. The pairing of a workaday transport and its droid pilot fits the game's grounded, lived-in take on the Clone Wars era.1017In Star Wars Lore1219The Caisson is specific to this game. Anything the game does not show on screen is not confirmed as part of Zero Company's own telling.20+The Caisson is specific to this game, and the official reference entry describing it was written for this game. Outside the Republic medical evacuation service it shared with M-3VO, it has no prior history in the wider setting, and anything the game does not show on screen is not confirmed as part of Zero Company's own telling.1421The Hyperdrive16-Official launch material attaches the Caisson name to the ship’s hyperdrive specifically, describing the company travelling by way of the Caisson hyperdrive. That is a narrower use than a ship name and it is worth keeping the distinction: what is documented is the drive, and the vessel is identified by it rather than the other way round.18-Relation to the Den2023The Caisson is not the base. The Den is a separate thing, officially described as a defunct bulk freighter, permanently docked, that serves as Zero Company’s base of operations. The Caisson is how a squad reaches a mission; the Den is where the company lives between them. See Operations and Tactical Missions for how a deployment is selected.24+The Caisson is not the base. The Den is a separate thing, a Gallofree Yards bulk freighter that once sailed as the Denab Drifter and is now permanently docked at the Ring of Kafrene, serving as Zero Company's base of operations. The Caisson is how a squad reaches a mission; the Den is where the company lives between them. See Operations and Tactical Missions for how a deployment is selected.2225What Is Not Documented2427No official material gives the Caisson a class, a crew complement, an armament, or an appearance in the wider setting. The wider Star Wars canon contains ships and terms that sound adjacent, but none has been identified as this one, so nothing beyond what is above can be stated as belonging to this game.28+The class and the role are documented, but a good deal is not. No crew complement and no armament are published, and beyond the class there is no published description of the ship's layout, interior or dimensions. Star Wars canon contains freighters and terms that sound adjacent, but none has been identified as this one, so nothing beyond what is above can be stated as belonging to this game.
