Read the protected set

Do not stop at the required squad field. The exact failure line is the complete protected set for this task.

requires both and to survive, even though the Main Mission record does not publish a separate required-squad list.
Each listed Hero Mission requires its authored Operator or Operators to deploy. Its failure line can also name a Mission ally.
names , , , and in the failure condition.
names , , and in the failure condition.

Open the selected Mission record from the panel above. If the launch screen differs from the stored briefing, follow the current screen and stop using the older plan.

Prepare the required squad

For a Hero Mission, begin with the required Operators and fill only the remaining slots up to the listed maximum squad size. Check every required Operator’s Injury count before choosing the other jobs.

Read the objective and failure line together.
Count the required Operators and the remaining squad slots.
Move an injured required Operator through the current roster decision. A healthy substitute cannot replace a named requirement.
Give one remaining Operator the job of controlling the route to the protected person or reaching a Downed Operator safely.
Check the live Hero Mission countdown. The listed base availability does not override the value on the current Holotable.
Launch only when the required group has a safe first route toward the objective.

Respond when someone is Downed

The exact failure conditions say killed. The current combat text says: A Downed Operator is incapable of continuing to fight and suffers an Injury. An Operator who suffers enough Injuries is permanently killed. Rally says: Rallying a Downed Operator will restore them to the fight and allow them to take actions again.

When the Mission remains active and a protected Operator is Downed:

Stop optional attacks and movement.
Control the enemy or line covering the rescue route.
Rally only when the rescuer will not become the next exposed protected Operator.
Move the recovered Operator away from the same pressure when the rules allow it.
Resume the objective after the protected set is stable.

Do not assume the same Rally rule applies to a named Mission ally. Protect that ally according to the objective and the actions the Mission provides.

Recover after the result

Result	What to do now	Limit
Mission active after an Operator is Downed	Secure the route and use Rally	Rally returns the Operator to battle; the Injury remains a campaign consequence
Mission Failed, campaign active	Follow the recovery shown on the result screen, then change the route that exposed the protected person	The current rules do not define one universal restart or checkpoint path
Game Over in Beskar Mode	Return to the Campaign settings decision before another attempt	Beskar uses one persistent save, disables manual saving, and names crucial Mission failure as a Game Over trigger

Permadeath is enabled by default. At Injury 3, an Operator is killed when Permadeath is on. Treat an already injured required Operator as a roster decision before launch, not as a problem to solve after the first Downed state.

Confirm completion

The selected Mission is complete only when the objective is complete and every person in its failure condition is alive. After returning to The Den:

Check the Injury count of every deployed Operator.
Reopen the Holotable and confirm which protected Mission is next.
If another required Operator is injured, use the roster decision before advancing a Cycle.
If the next task is the final roster commitment, use the final Campaign preparation check before locking the squad.

For the opening trio, use the dedicated plan. Its protected route and recovery case are specific to that Chapter 1 Mission.
