I am playing Inner rim as Empire and I have experienced two disappearances of heroes so far. First it was Bossk. I thought it happened after a battle, but when I loaded a recent save and observed carefully, it turned out that it was not related to battle - it was week 13 or 16, and if I remember correctly he disappeared when the third green rectangle lit. Later I hired IG-88 who also disappeared, but I failed to notice when did it happen (I surely did not lose him in a battle).

Is it possible that your heroes were assassinated?

[Monument]

Hm, should I get some kind of notification when that happens? Also, if they suffer a non-bug induced death, are they permanently out of the game, or are available later, like in vanilla EaW?

[evilbobthebob]

Your droid advisor should say "X was assassinated!" I think. The heroes should be available to train from their homeworlds.

[Phoenix Rising]

Oh. Independent heroes are temporary hires! Definitely not for garrison duty.

[Monument]

So it was intended to be that way? It would be nice to implement some notification like "Your contract with X has expired". Are they available for hire only once in a campaign?

[Phoenix Rising]

It was a late change to cover up the fact that the locking script wasn't affecting other factions. You get them for 5 days at a time for 2500, but can rehire as many times as you like.

When heroes die in a tactical space or land battle, are they re-buildable?

[Phoenix Rising]

They should be.

[Sûlherokhh]

To pick up this 'bug', the independents disappear after a while, but they are not rebuildable. Only part of the script seems to work. It doesn't catch them dying, or else doesn't remove the team when they do by script, so i just commented out the 'independent' scripts altogether.
