They might not hold the title of Jedi or have incredible Force powers at their fingertips, but these plucky heroes have their own bravery and skills vital to the galaxy far, far away.

Rhil Dairo is no ordinary reporter. Her dedication to recording intel to set the record straight inspired her to get a cybernetic implant to stay connected to her faithful droid T-9. On assignment to cover the Republic Fair on Valo, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the likes of Jedi Council member Stellan Gios and Chancellor Lina Soh, she turned a fluff piece for GoNet into compelling firsthand coverage of the devastation that followed.
