The customizable player character Hawks allows full control over gender presentation, species from eight Star Wars options including Devaronian, Twi'lek, and Zabrak, appearance, voice, and class, with they/them pronouns set as default solely to streamline voice acting across recordings. This functions as a practical accommodation rather than an ideological statement.

The linear narrative centers on a Clone Wars-era threat and cult investigation without any romance systems or forced messaging layered onto the story. Developer statements stress player expression through customization choices and avoid activist framing or external consultancy. Background squad members such as clone trooper Trick, Tognath Jedi Padawan Tel-Rea Vokoss, Mandalorian Cly Kullervo, and Umbaran sniper Luco Bronc draw directly from established franchise alien and faction diversity without altering source material. These choices result in organic inclusion that supports the setting rather than advancing contemporary social themes, leaving the core experience focused on gameplay and lore-consistent threats.
