The Caisson

Added the Caisson hyperdrive detail, the distinction from the Den, and an explicit note on what is undocumented
The 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.
Where 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.
The 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.
The 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.
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.
The 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.
No 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.
