The developers at LucasArts and BioWare have the companion system of Star Wars: The Old Republic presented.

The rest of the gang during missions to keep your ship that serves as its own base.

There, the crew spend the time but also useful, for example with the manufacture of goods. The crafting system of The Old Republic is based entirely on their owners. You can train your followers in three skills:

   1. Collection capabilities
     The Sammelfähgikeiten are there that your companion will help you gather resources and artifacts. You can not hack any terminal or undergo any creature a bio-analysis. A companion can this possibly  have.
   2. Tradeskills
      With the collected materials, new valuable items are produced. In addition to shields and armor,  including Jedi and Sith artifacts. You can order your companions to produce these goods and they will continue their work even after log-out. Up to five companions will be able to work  simultaneously on the bench.
