*TIP! Can't locate a companion? Open the Ship Menu from your Data Menu and assign the companion you’re searching for to your ship. The next time you board your ship they will be there waiting for you. If you do ever want to go it alone, companions can be dismissed in settlements, cities, or your ship.

==Can I Have More Than One Companion At A Time?==
While you can have multiple Companion, only one can follow you around at a time. However, you may have additional [[NPC]]'s or future Companions follow you during [[missions]] and assist in [[combat]]. These additional followers will not function like typical companions. For example, they won't provide dialogue options beyond what is required for the mission and they cannot store items.
