Ex-ImpSec...ideas?

By Tiltowait, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Hey folks, got my EotE and FaD books in and been reading up.

I was considering an Imperial Security officer who was operating inside the Black Sun under deep cover before being Betrayed...now hunted (Bounty) by the Black Sun as his 'cover id' and ImpSec as his 'real id.' Because of this betrayal and his bounty he feels a strong bond with his new friends (Oath for helping / going to extremes for his party.)

Combat is not his forte, so I'd be throwing a token rank via his human bonus skills to represent some basic level of competence. I'd prefer his primary focus be social and intel gathering. So do you folks think go with...part Politico, and part Slicer? Any other ideas welcome!

Are there any careers that combine social with intel gathering? Is there a book with Imperial or ex-Imperial careers?

If the Politcio/Slicer doesn't mesh with the system, then I'll drop the Slicer part and say he gets his info strictly via Charm/Coercion. So maybe straight Politico? I guess I could reskin the Politico and just say he was a spy?

Scoundrel and Thief.

The Age of Rebellion line has the Analyst and Strategist that combine computer use with social.

Hey, nice background idea. Pretty near identical to one of my players (Black Sun plant and ISB agent). He went Spy/Slicer, Analyst, Mechanic (took Recruit and Pilot too, but those were well after his background ideas - campaign driven choices to branch out) and is going to be picking up Thief and Scientist

Thief or Shadow for the sneaking etc, then Gambler or Scoundrel, if you get AoR at some point then Agitator is a great undercover social character
