This page lists traits specific to the  Official class and its sub-classes only. For common traits please see leader traits.

Traits represent the background, education or personality of a leader. Most traits can be upgraded. The way in which leaders gain or upgrade traits depends on whether the  Galactic Paragons DLC is enabled:

* If the DLC is enabled:
	+ Leaders are able to select a trait to gain or upgrade every time they level up.
	+ At level 4, they can choose a Veteran Class and, at level 8, they can choose a Destiny Trait.
	+ Veteran traits are in the pool of possible traits, but only for the chosen Veteran Class.
* If the DLC is not enabled:
	+ Leaders gain or upgrade a random trait every 2 levels.
	+ Veteran trait pools are turned off, as the leaders do not use Veteran Classes.
	+ A number traits are available only if the DLC is not enabled.
