Background
Comfortable with Tech
Many of the worlds and cultures across the galaxy have a high level of technological sophistication. Droids and the HoloNet are tools that many sentients use on a daily basis. Starships and repulsorlift craft are a common sight on many worlds, and characters are likely comfortable using these fantastic devices. Most adult individuals from these sorts of worlds enjoyed an education that included a solid grounding in engineering and the hard sciences. This level of technological familiarity is considered the norm for the civilized galaxy.
Most of the planets from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim fall Into this category. Even frontier and colonial worlds tend to have denizens familiar with standard galactic technologies, even if said technologies are rare or unavailable. These planets are typically a part of wider galactic society. Citizens of these worlds who wish to avoid technology must make a deliberate effort to do so.
Motivation
Imperial Defector
Imperial academies at Carida, Raithal, Corulag, and Prefsbelt turn out a never-ending stream of officers, stormtroopers, and pilots for the Empire. The academy teaches standard Imperial tactics and maneuvers, so that graduates can assimilate into military units throughout Imperial space. The program weans out undesirables by design, and a fair percentage of each class of trainees washes out.
While the curriculum emphasizes loyalty to the Empire, many cadets find themselves unable to execute what they see as unjust orders. These graduates often desert or defect to the Rebellion. A famous example is the mutiny of the Rand Ecliptic, which was led by recent academy graduates Biggs Darklighter and Derek "Hobbie" Klivian. Once in command of the vessel, Biggs, Hobbie, and a number of other sympathetic TIE pilots joined up with the Rebellion.
Duties
Intelligence - 10
Dax knows that every victory hinges on knowing as much about the Empire's military might and other assets as possible. He is driven to gather any and all potentially useful data, wishing to locate vital and vulnerable targets for Rebellion forces to strike at. He not only wants to know what the Imperial military factions are up to, but also the state of technological research, economic policies, and other aspects of Imperial strength.
