SECTION 01
Deployment and roster limits
EA says a standard tactical squad contains up to four operators. The initial roster maximum is seven and can be expanded to twenty through campaign progression.
The roster combines authored characters with operators the player can customize. These categories provide composition choices without establishing a pre-launch tier order.
SECTION 02
Specializations and team themes
Official pre-launch material describes eight standard specializations in detail. EA also confirms that all-Clone squads become possible after the relevant story unlock and that an all-Astromech squad can be assembled early after recruitment.
Those composition answers confirm possibility, not competitive strength. Build and tier claims remain deferred.
SECTION 03
Jedi boundary
Tel-Rea is the unique Jedi Padawan operator identified in EA's official answers. Custom operators cannot be made into Jedi, so a generic custom-Jedi creator should not be inferred from her presence.
