Split Luco Bronc left and Tesh Hawks right while Anakin clears the center and assists with distant rescues, completing all six Bespin Civilian rescues by the end of turn 6.
The rescue objective is an action-economy race: every detour costs distance while incoming fire narrows the safe lanes. Clear threats that block the route, but keep the objective counter moving until only the enemy cleanup remains.
Storm Basin six-civilian rescue route
| Civilian | Rescuer and route |
|---|---|
| First | Luco Bronc — opening left-flank civilian |
| Second | Tesh Hawks — right-side route near low cover |
| Third | Luco Bronc — continuation of the left route |
| Fourth | Tesh Hawks — lower route through sniper overwatch |
| Fifth | Anakin Skywalker — elevated upper platform |
| Sixth | Luco Bronc — final marked platform on the right |
Key All six rescues must be completed before turn 6 ends. The mission also requires Tesh Hawks, Anakin Skywalker, and Luco Bronc to survive, so preserve enough health to withstand the forced overwatch crossings.
Treat Luco and Hawks as movement-first rescuers while Anakin handles most of the damage. When an operator reaches a Bespin Civilian, use the Rescue or Interact prompt if the interface presents one and make sure the objective counter increases.
Do not let an optional shot delay a rescue. Luco and Hawks should attack only when doing so protects a civilian or clears the route they need that turn.
How to rescue every Storm Basin civilian in Star Wars Zero Company
Open the central lanes with Anakin, keep both rescuers moving, and switch Anakin to rescue duty only when his superior reach saves time.
STEP 1/16
Defeat the opening Coil Brute
Move Anakin through the central lane and use Ultimate Strike against the Coil Brute beside the burning scrap.
STEP 2/16
Eliminate the opening sniper
Use Anakin’s Ultimate Lightsaber Throw to defeat the Coil BX Droid Sniper on the elevated ledge and open both rescue lanes.
STEP 3/16
Rescue the first civilian with Luco
Sprint Luco Bronc along the left flank and complete the rescue at the first marked Bespin Civilian.
STEP 4/16
Rescue the second civilian with Hawks
Send Tesh Hawks down the right route, rescue the civilian, and finish near low cover before sniper pressure builds.
STEP 5/16
Keep moving as reinforcements arrive
When warning icons appear around the balcony and side passages, continue toward the next civilians instead of chasing every new enemy.
STEP 6/16
Use Combat Gas III only if movement allows
Luco can activate Combat Gas III to strengthen nearby allies, but skip it if the action would prevent him from reaching the next rescue.
STEP 7/16
Rescue the third civilian with Luco
Continue Luco’s left-side route, free the next Bespin Civilian, and begin moving back toward the remaining threats.
STEP 8/16
Read the red overwatch lines
Inspect the visible sniper threat lines before committing Hawks to the lower route and take an alternate path if it preserves enough movement.
STEP 9/16
Cross the sniper lane with Hawks
If avoiding the zone would cost the rescue, send Hawks through with enough health to absorb a survivable overwatch hit.
STEP 10/16
Rescue the fourth civilian with Hawks
Complete the rescue immediately after crossing the threatened lane rather than stopping to exchange fire.
STEP 11/16
Return Hawks to cover
Pull Hawks behind the heavy metallic crate after the rescue so the balcony snipers cannot keep firing into her exposed position.
STEP 12/16
Send Anakin to the fifth civilian
Once the center is controlled, use Anakin’s long blue movement path up the stairs and rescue the civilian on the elevated platform.
STEP 13/16
Remove the balcony snipers
Line up Ultimate Lightsaber Throw so Anakin strikes multiple Coil BX Droid Snipers and clears Luco’s final approach.
STEP 14/16
Rescue the sixth civilian with Luco
Move Luco to the final marked civilian on the right platform, finish the rescue, and verify that the objective reads 6/6 before turn 6 ends.
STEP 15/16
Heal the injured squad members
Use available healing on anyone damaged by overwatch or reinforcement fire, keeping Hawks, Anakin, and Luco alive for the cleanup.
STEP 16/16
Defeat the final Coil enemy
Focus the remaining Coil forces and use Anakin’s Ultimate Strike to finish the last Coil Brute once it leaves cover.
