Background: You began your career as a stinger for Sektor 242 NewsLine, but the competition among your fellow journalistic freelancers made earning a living virtually impossible. Moving to Tapani sector, you impressed one of the local holovid carriers with a gossip piece on a minor noble. You were hired on the spot and now you work as a "dirt-sniffer," trying to catch a noble in some sort of impropriety.
Currently, your column is growing in popularity among the average citizens of the sector, though the various Houses have started to despise you.
Personality: You are affable and likable, but have something of a cruel streak. You are somewhat bitter about the state of your journalistic career but grudgingly admit that you are very good at your newfound profession.
Objectives: To catch a noble involved in a major crime.
A Quote: "So can I take that as 'no comment,' Lord Hoall?"
Connection With Characters: You could use the disgraced House Guardsman or a retainer as an informant. A bacta merchant, smuggler or pilot may have let you aboard his or her ship -- you are either undercover, hoping to get a good story, or are aboard the ship as a simple charter.

Background: People always need up-to-the-minute accounts of current events, and that's what you give them. You bring people what they want to know and what they need to know.
If the Empire is going to work, it can't be run by shirkers and the corrupt. When you find Imperial officials taking advantage of their positions, you blow the whistle.
Obviously, this approach gets you into some hot water, but you can handle it. The Imperials would prefer you stick to the more domestic news -- local gossip, and all that fluff. Well that's not going to happen -- you're going to get to the bottom of the story even if you have to go into hiding to get it. The people have a right to know the truth! And you're the right person to bring it to them. (As long as you can keep yourself alive while you're doing it ...)
Personality: When you get word of a scoop, you tend to throw caution to the wind and pursue your story to the bitter end, ignoring threats, warnings, and obstacles alike. Worrying about consequences comes later, after the story is filed, and your duty is done.
Objectives: To show the galaxy that the Empire cannot ignore its flaws and hope to survive.
A Quote: "Listen, I'm not exactly a member of the Palpatine fan club, but if I gotta be an Imperial citizen, I at least want to see its leaders practice what they preach -- namely law, and order."
