Kor began life as a compliance/broadcast auditor on a Core-world network—built to sanitize feeds. After being ordered to bury footage of an Imperial atrocity, Kor quietly copied the raw and vanished into the Rim. Years of “stringer” work followed: riding tramp freighters, swapping stories for fuel, and learning how to shape a narrative so it survives censors.

In Hutt Space, Kor crossed paths with Turofyna. She saw the value: a droid who could make her operations appear as grassroots flashes rather than syndicate moves. The deal was struck—favors for footage—and Kor became a deniable asset whose stories conveniently aligned with rebel sympathies without naming clients.

Ties to the crew
• Wells: Old info-trade partner; you share a dead-drop cipher and a clean-room workflow. Kor provides the story, Wells scrubs the metadata.
• Yves: Pulled Kor out of a bad sting on a refinery moon; Kor owes him a quiet corridor when it counts.
• DV-3: Recognizes Trex-era comm subroutines embedded in Kor’s diagnostics; you two trade terse, efficient tech banter.

Why Socorro, now: Post-Hoth chaos has every checkpoint jumpy. Turofyna wants clean optics on this operation and a fall-guy narrative ready in case things sour. Kor’s here to give Wells cover, keep Yves invisible, and pre-seed alibis—and to make sure the truth that matters makes it out.

Motivations
• Cause — Expose Imperial abuses: Put the truth on the record and protect witnesses.
• Ambition — Freedom of Information: If you don’t control the frame, the Empire will.
• Relationship — Working Crews First: Protect the people who take the heat—dockhands, slicers, smugglers, and your team (Wells, Yves, DV-3).
(Quirk: insatiable curiosity; treats evidence like sacred artifacts.)

• 01–10 — Favor (Turofyna): Immediate spin job / timed release / bury angle.
• 11–20 — Blackmail (Turofyna): Threat to leak Kor’s raws, revoke auth key, or flag “stolen droid.”

Description (at a glance)
• Chassis: Compact CZ-frame with integrated reinforced plating (your “padded armor”), matte charcoal panels with dull bronze seams.
• Profile: A shoulder-mounted gimbal holocam (“PIP-3”) that irises and whirs when Kor focuses; concealed holdout port in the forearm; shock-glove pad in the left palm.
• Voice & manner: Calm broadcast cadence, inquisitive, uses questions as leverage. Catalogues sights and names as if drafting captions in real time.
• Presence in the field: Civilian silhouette; reads as tech or press, not muscle—ideal for blending in and getting close.
