[member="Jessica Kidman"], for your question:
Lereana had limited intel, but is brightly solid since she confirmed with two sources. Together with a companion named Kohr, they uncovered information about a ruthless Private Military force, X-Light, to be making deals, with more probability just to gain credits. Having black market weapons for a Resistance cell that was formerly Confederation, though just minimum assets to the faction, they're thinking of defecting and joining X-Light as separate assets.
X-Light is a private military force led by Major Akksel. His allegiances are unknown, but his loyalties even date back to the years when he was known in the former Republic military. There were even rumors he played 'Advisor' to some insurgent groups at the Outer Rim planets to teach them laws of conflict and rules of survival... Basically, X-Light is pumped with Special Forces units from different walks of life.
I'll put more information on a possible NPC development board I'll put up for approval... Akksel is a major antagonist to Lereana.
