Companions
Source Tech Core pg. 72
Companions and familiars are special benefits from certain classes or class feats. Most companions are animals or robots. If you simply want a pet regardless of your class, you can take the Pet feat. If you want a basic robot minion, you can purchase a minibot. You can have a familiar or pet, but not both. You can have an animal companion or a robot companion, but not both. Because companions function much differently, you can have both a companion and a familiar or pet.

Any creature with telepathic capabilities, such as telepathy, touch telepathy, group chat, empathic sense, or the ability to cast spells such as telepathy, gains a +4 circumstance bonus to this check. This link is permanent, and neither can form a new link until one of them dies.
