Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Kit Reveal: Captain Silvo

The pirate fleets of the Outer Rim just got a dangerous new ally. Captain Silvo arrives in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes this September, bringing ruthless synergy, Force sensitivity, and a heavy dose of tactical thievery to the growing Pirate faction. Players who want to bolster their dark side squads—and unlock the full potential of Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka—will want to pay close attention to this reveal.


Alignment and Categories

  • Alignment: Dark Side
  • Categories: Support, Leader, Pirate, Scoundrel, Unaligned Force User, Order 66 Raid

Silvo isn’t your average scoundrel. He mixes Force sensitivity with raw pirate cunning, creating one of the most versatile support kits the faction has seen.


Key Attributes

  • Turn Meter Manipulation: Silvo drains Turn Meter from enemies and funnels it directly into his Pirate allies, flipping the flow of battle.
  • Sustained Survivability: Pirate allies gain Health and Protection recovery whenever Profit stacks come into play.
  • Pirate Synergy: Works best under Pirate Leaders—particularly Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka—where his kit truly shines.

Inspirations from Skeleton Crew

Captain Silvo draws inspiration from the many guises of Jod Na Nawood in Skeleton Crew. By leaning into Silvo’s role as the ruthless leader of a pirate crew, the developers delivered a character identity that perfectly fits the darker side of the New Republic era.


Strategy Tips

  • Zero Patience (Basic): Use this against Staggered enemies to steal Turn Meter and swing momentum.

When I was 7, I saw Star Wars: A New Hope in theaters a week after it opened. My parents were nice enough to take me and I have been a fan of Star Wars and almost all science fiction in general. I am an amateur writer who has been published for contributing flavor text to a RP game. I also have a copyright on a novel I hope to be able to publish sometime soon.
