Locations: Ringo Vinda, Alexandria, Commenor, Lok, Glyss, Tarhassan, Hosnian Prime, Charros
Operations: Publishing, gaming, ergonomic assessments, fitness
Rationale: Yula realized that, to further the cause of the Commonwealth, a suitable vehicle for propaganda was required. So she took out a commercial loan in order to purchase the tabloid from an ailing Sith Lord. Realizing, however, that, to make the propaganda vehicle work, a hook is necessary, that is, maintaining the tabloid activities. Also, it provides the Rebellion with a source of income, despite its name and owner making it associated to Sith. In addition, she realizes that the manufacture of electronic games can be a profitable avenue to spread anti-Sith propaganda. Also, due to the areas of activity of the Comminwealth, some of the games have also featured pro-Commonwealth content. And, under new management, came the ergonomic assessments and fitness.
Tier: 5
Description: The Sith Inquisitor's business is twofold: in the first instance, it operates as a newspaper with a significant tabloid component. However, the tabloid is a little peculiar in that it provides more room than normal tabloids to the intellectual upper crust among Force-users, light-sided and dark-sided, which the previous administration felt was overlooked by most tabloids, yet envied by so many potential readers. Of course, it also follows the lives of the rich and famous, and, despite its name, makes an effort to cover both light-siders and dark-siders, knowing that restricting themselves to one side of the Force would limit the amount of content. And, while its journalistic standards may be a little... questionable, it nevertheless attempts to cover current events. Given its concentration of staff near the Pacanth Reach and the Stygian Caldera, many stories are run on the Sith Order.
It is also famous for being attacked by the Sith Order in its headquarters on Ziost. The Sith Inquisitor went from weekly publishing frequency to a daily frequency while also increasing circulation.
Also, its gaming activities are designed to at least require some strategic effort on the player's part: from TRPGs, which are described by Sith Inquisitor staff as games of dejarik where the pieces and equipment evolve with the player as the game unfolds, to fleeting simulators, making use of the OmegaTM system, allowing players to fight with a wide array of starships available to the galaxy, using a wide range of parameters. The SI staff feels that it is important for players to be challenged as appropriate but also to offer a window for escapism that allows people to delve into what their heroes do.
Finally, after a run-in with workplace health and safety on Tarhassan, the Sith Inquisitor decided to enter the largely undeveloped market of ergonomic assessments by buying a failing company doing ergonomic assessments. As a result, it is becoming known for ergonomic assessments across CSA territory and the Stygian Caldera, where its media base allows it to market ergonomic assessments effectively and widely, holding a near-monopoly on ergonomic assessments in the Caldera, and also becoming the largest company in the galaxy performing ergonomic assessments, with new forays into fitness.
