The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A male agent for the New Republic operated in the Corellian system[1] around 7 ABY.[2] While in the system, he intercepted a scrambled transmission from one of the system's planets, which contained plans for a new sublight engine in development by the Human engineer Gen Tiraan. Both the sublight engine and Tiraan were of interest to the New Republic and the Galactic Empire, and the transmission noted that Tiraan was being hounded by Imperial forces attempting to leverage him into the Empire's service.[1]

When a team of Republic operatives arrived in the Corellian system in search of Tiraan, the agent provided the transmission to the group so that they could locate and rescue Tiraan before he was forcibly taken by the Empire.[1]

Behind the scenes

The agent was mentioned in Gen Tiraan's entry within Wanted by Cracken, a 1993 sourcebook for West End Games' Star Wars Roleplaying Game written by Louis J. Prosperi.[1]
