The agents who contributed to the creation of the Rebel Alliance were a small but elite group.
The intelligence network that Lucen Rhayell built behind the scenes sporadically deceived the Empire.
Although they appear disjointed, they are actually well-organized, which gives the centralized Empire a hard time. The Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) should focus on identifying and identifying Axis, but they are ignored because they are not a visible and obvious threat.
The Empire overlooked the signs of the Rebel Alliance.
If they could have eliminated Axis, there would have been no war with the Rebel Alliance later on.
Axis, Lucen, will teach his protégé Cassian how to deceive the Empire. If Cassian completes his mission successfully, he will become a reliable agent. Lucen has high hopes for him.
If Lucen himself makes a mistake and is cornered, he will probably want Cassian to eliminate him. That is the fate of an agent.
Lucen must be really glad that he was able to make Cassian Andor a rebel spy. I'm glad he didn't fall into the hands of the Empire.
The Rebel Alliance needs the best and most skilled people to deceive the Empire.
The intelligence network has also penetrated the ISB, and will bring information about Dedramiro to Axis. It would be better to deal with that woman.
There must be other people in the Empire that can be corrupted. In exchange for sharing our information, we can get information about the Empire. We can promote them and turn them into useful sources of information. The Empire won't notice. Quiet power. There are various possibilities, such as first giving them correct information to keep them happy, and then giving them false information at the end.
Anyway, Axis is making the ISB angry. The Empire doesn't realize that they are being deceived by the rebellion. The vertical structure, centralized system, and chain of command are all backfiring. If you anger the Empire, they will retaliate with war. Lucen is satisfied with continuing to win, but he will make a mistake soon. The ISB will definitely be caught. The larger the network, the more difficult it becomes to manage.
I feel like Cassian will be in charge of dealing with that risk. This kind of person should be reserved for dealing with unforeseen circumstances.
For example, Darth Sidious' apprentice, Maul, can be mentioned.
Maul, who is covered in tattoos, is thought to have been a Sith agent before he became a Dark Lord of the Sith. He carried out ingenious and precise missions to advance the Sith's plans, such as the destruction of Black Sun. Only Sidious and Plagueis knew of Maul's existence, making him the ideal agent. Plagueis allows Maul to be used when Sidious makes a mistake.
Even the Jedi don't notice.
He refrains from using Maul as much as possible, and Sidious plans his plan alone. If it becomes absolutely necessary at the very last moment, he uses Maul as little as possible. This is the golden rule of covert operations.
There were other Sith agents hired for large salaries. A small number of them, a pro among pros. Able to carry out Sidious' orders quickly and at a high level.
If Cassian Andor had lived in the Republic era, he would have been a skilled Sith operative. I think it's understandable that he would be lured by a large reward.
But the cause of the Rebel Alliance, which is hope, is stronger than money.
