After the treatment, which the healer warned Daana against moving during the next five days, the reporters started to question the people present, wondering how they could meet the Yuuzhan Vong, which would be difficult by this time, and if they knew there relations with the Sith Empire, which would be probably hostile on both side they said. [[Salene Lusch]], apparently the leader, and [[Flint Mokeev]] looked like interested by their discovery on Dromund Kaas and proposed to visit it soon themselves. They also were surprised to meet a tribe of Cyborgs which had very different behaviours, from helpful to sarcastic, and even had seen a baby of them.

Daana spent too much time for her taste in the med lab recovering, the local holonet broacasts being unable to catch her interest. She also missed the interview Rakiko gave to [[Salene Lusch]], taking two days before reading the record, not thinking it was important as she didn't knew she was the Magister of the planet. Salene Lusch, actually sent a two people exporting Dromund Kaas Emperor Laboratory and they came back to report, confirming what the reporters witnessed. Independently of their ethical disgust of the Emperor experiences and their dangerousness, they didn't want the Yuuzhan Vong are involved in outside conflicts, and started study an appropriate reaction.

On Zonama Sekot, they meet [[Cayce Urriah]], which they already had met in the past, at Nar Shadda where she threaded Daana and broke her camera and once on Ruusan when they were going to interview the Jedi. She reiterated her claim the reporters couldn't judge or understand her, but having more time, and being near of [[Lanya Windlow|a child]] calmed the mind down. Daana answered she had no intention to judge her or anything but understand what she's the witness and report it to the public. She started to ask few questions but were interrupted by a visitor, and Cayce agreed Daana can continue later, without posing a formal appointment as she was sure she'll met her again. To please everyone, Lanya, the child, made flower necklaces to those not wearing one already.
Daana was born on Shili, in a large Togruta tribe having frequent contacts with outsiders. Her curiosity grew with time and she was hired to be a local part time correspondent of the Galaxy News holonet channel. When she became more experienced, she applied to become reporter.
Missions
Daana and Rakiko
On Dromund Kaas with Rakiko, investigating the rumour on the Sith Emperor Laboratory.
Daana and Rakiko inspecting a walker on Hoth
On Hoth for a technical care of their ship by the local Imperial troops. The empire was in conflict with the local Potentium knights for the control of the planet. They went to interview both sides.
On Dantooine to familiarize with the Jedi outpost. Many of their interlocutors were focused on past and future combat, mainly against the Sith. However, they explained them their goal was to build a family, including non force users in their rank.
On Yavin 4, master Tuqiri explained them they were a strict Jedi order, up to their outfits. She advised them to visit the nearby Massassi temple.
Alone back on Yavin 4, she learnt the opposition between this Jedi and those on Dantooine. The Jedi were training hard to fight the Sith.
Alone on New Tibannopolis, Bespin, she learnt the planet was recently damaged by a huge explision. She interviewed the local Jedi order, the Jedi Jewel Alliance about their specificities, being close of the Potentium views. She was invited to the future investiture of the new Senator.
On Corellia with Rakiko, people rumoured about an apparition of Revan, even if the officials said it was a hoax. Interviewing the queen, she affirmed her aim to combat the Sith and to open the planet to allies.
Visting Ossus, trying, but unsuccessfully to have news of the Jedi.
On Onderon, investigating on an attentat in a cantina. She was slightly wounded by a wall collapsing, caused by a further bomb.
On Eriadu, she attended to the the end of a regional meeting leaders and interviewed the Autocrator Trevor Ashdene about the defensive alliance they signed with Corellia and Bespin. Then back with Rakiko inspecting the new mining station.
At the temple of Haashimut, a jedi told her his disbelief combats can solve issues.
On Talus, they interviewed Jedi, including the Grand Master Azlum Grimlock, telling the local order followed the pre-civil war principles, and defending the Republic as it's the will of the Force.
On Vjun, they interviewed a couple of Sith about their motivation goal and relationship with the Jedi. The Sith denied the aggression came from them and claimed they worked for a better galaxy. The reporters were then allowed to assist at a mastership ceremony.
Landing on Rhelg, they interviewed Darth Umbra, one of the Sith, telling them the sith program, based on their old history and how they were superior to the other Sith, as hosting the rest of the original species (See also the Taral'ari interview by Daana and Rakiko)
They reported lengthy the invasion followed by the occupation by the Sith Empire of the planet Ruusan. After the Sith push back, they interviewed the Emperor and the Taral'ari, as well as many other people involved in this conflict.
They interviewed master Prez Pall on the Dantooine temple, he confirmed the Jedi would never negotiate with the Sith, arresting them soon they're spotted. The Jedi had the right, as following will of the Force and seek the recovery of the natural state of things. If this mystical energy was beyond understanding for non uninitiated like them, they had to ask the people which knew the Jedi were good. However, the last people they meet on Nar Shaddaa had another opinion.
On Vjun, Moy Borsuk, a grey jedi taught them there was another group of Jedi on Onderon, outside of Iziz, which may inform them about the recent conflicts. Further Fedhar, from the clan Draslshy'a talked them about his disbelief of the Jedi about good, and honourable people, especially those ones on Onderon which had tortured him for having rescued a defenceless sith imperial subject. He had a minor role in the Sith Invasion of Ruusan, having looted some of the museum artefacts for the Sith.
They went to Onderon and met the Jedi at the told place and had the chance to talk to Masters Zav and Zuric. They both refuted the accusation of torture at would be against their religion. They stated they weren't aggressive, at most replying to rescue calls from deserving friends. However they refused to talk about their foreign relationship and were short about their vision of the Jedi philosophy.
Darth Nyx and Daana at the Dark Side Cantina
To confront the ideas of the Jedi with the Sith, Daana returned on Byss and stopped at the Dark Side Cantina, the cantina of the Ravager. She met Darth Nix and exchanged some news. The Sith was away during the Occupation of Ruusan, but she told the reporter her general disdain on the Jedi and her approval of Validus counter measures. As an example, she told a former apprentice, passed to the Jedi of Ruusan was mistreating his previous Sith Master. Daana tried to know more and proposed to meet the Jedi reformed by the Sith and was replied they will contact her at the suitable time.
On Dantooine, Daana met the crimelord poet Arise MacBeth, from the Bloodtalon syndicate. He asked her to publish his book of poetry Just Crime and explained her his doubt about who is right and wrong.
They went on Tatooine, investigating on the rumours the mandalorian controlled the slave traffic. The situation was rather confusing, they were a lot of them, maybe half of the population they met. However, they were far to be united, divided in many clans. Some called other dar'manda, a sort of failed mandalorian in their culture or religion. Those they asked rejected a mandalorian would trade slaves or they will be dar'manda, and if they looked like aggressive they were not hostile.
Lady Matraya at her interview on Byss
They interviewed Lady Matraya which they meet first during the Emperor interview warmly approving his will to reform the Jedi. She was actually a former Jedi herself, founder of the New Order of the Jedi. She left the order realising her mistakes about the Jedi, they would limit themselves ignoring their passion and they don't have supported her when she needed. She however doesn't actively tries to convert more of them, thinking they will finally understand they follow the wrong way. She had a fast promotion in the Dark Lords of the Sith, even if still at an intermediate rank at the moment of the interview, maybe because her previous formation or the passion she showed at learning this new path. She looked attracted by the power, giving an example in the powerful lava streams flowing over Byss.
Hutt Stories
On Onderon, investigating on an attentat in a cantina. Daana was slightly wounded by a wall collapsing, caused by a further bomb. According the witnesses, it may be related with an argument between the Jedi and a Pirate clan of Nar Shaddaa.
Daana followed Ku'gan The Hutt on Nar Shaddaa, and interviewed him after finished his business meeting. He revealed to be a Galaxy wide businessman, treating with all factions, and was proud to have succeed this position alone. He was still looking for opportunities and people to recruit. Then, with Rakiko, they met Jess, one of his agents, complaining the Jedi searched to involve too much in the spice trade.
Huttila the Hutt demise
Jedi getting into Huttila's den
She later was invited by Huttila the Hutt's protocol droid, having his master jealous of an interview given to another Hutt but him. She went at the cantina held by Huttila the Hutt, but it was crowded too much for she approached him. Furthermore, he revealed to hold in custody a Princess of Onderon, while a rescue team, led by Jedi from the Old Jedi Order attempted to save her. Daana left the closed room when the weapons were about to warm up. She learnt later it ended by the death of Huttila the Hutt
Nobody on Talus being able to give them useful information, Daana and Rakiko returned the next day on Nar Shaddaa, talking to the people about the event, those ones showed disappointment on the Jedi attitude.
"Nar Shaddaa, undercity: People on Nar Shaddaa accuse the Jedi to have executed Huttila the Hutt, shortening the negotiations to free Thalia Ishtari or dealing them toward a a fight which was fatal for the Hutt. There was already a long run tension between the Jedi and the Hutt clans for commercial issues, and the jedi are suspected to have wanted to remove an obstacle by the Force."
Meanwhile, Daana returned to Talus to interview Thalia Ishtari and her Jedi master Mass Questi, she met them meditating in the garden below the temple and started to ask her questions. Thalia looked like still affected by her recent kidnapping, she believe for a ransom but did knew only little on her abductor, her face being masked. She called her master for help through the Force, which came alone without other goal than the release of his apprentice, the other Jedi being here independently. Thalia explained she was forced to kill Huttila for getting her freedom back, while his master was engaged by an officer of the Revenant Armada, apparently the accomplice of the Hutt. Talking about the Sith or the Revenant Armada, the jedi master didn't believed they would have a fair reason for diplomatic agreement and he would see no purpose to negotiations.
"Talus, Jedi temple: Miss Ishtari, formerly kidnapped by Huttila the Hutt and the Master Jedi Questi explained the circumstance of the raid at Nar Shaddaa. Mass Questi didn't had other purpose but releasing his padawan, acting independently that the other Jedi. The young lady was forced to kill the hutt to get her freedom back with sabre found in the battlefield. About the Revenant and the Sith, Master Questi don't see any purpose to negotiation, those having shown by the past they can't be trusted."

Hutt on Bakura
Daana visited Bakura with Rakiko for having an appointment with the Grand Army of the Republic's public relation officer and follow one of the clone squad in training. However their visit was disturbed by the arrival of a couple of hutt, one of them having a heavy helmet and two rotary shoulder blasters. He defeated the successfully escaped the followed. During the attack, the reporters caught he was avenging for the death of one of them, Beast, and wanted to kill all men here. While they were supporting the injured with the Queen and her guard, a trooper explained them this Beast had been killed after having resisted to an arrest for harassing a woman on Bakura.
Struggles for the power
After the death of Huttila the Hutt, leader of many factions of Nar Shaddaa used the instability of the situation and gathered to control the planet. The reporters managed to be at the meeting and interviewed them at the end.
"Nar Shaddaa, Black Sun Station: The Black Sun and other planetary personalities, acting as the government of Nar Shadda is decreeing the martial law on the planet after the death of Huttila the Hutt. They fear the criminal would otherwise take profit of the demise of the Hutt leader to trouble the city. Also, they're protecting the Nar Shaddaa interests against outside interventions. During this period, which may last weeks or months along, they intend to promulgate progressive laws, like the outlawing of the slavery."
However their plans met a certain resistance from the locals and wasn't applied.
Ku'gan the Hutt came back and took the position Huttila had, leaving, however important positions to the the Black Sun. He was planing to improve Nar Shaddaa attracting outsider personalities, and starting himself by an official visit to Tantooine.
In the under-city, an agent of the Galactic news reported rumours about the Black Sun creating a new Spice refining device and was increasing his holding of the small crime clan, absorbing some of them. However he wasn't able to talk with the Hutt or the Black Sun. Daana returned to Nar Shaddaa, trying to meet them herself, but only meet a lady she knew from the station reportage, inviting her strong to not interfere with the Black Sun. She met this lady again later while searching information despite her advice. She was surrounded by Mandalorians, one of them called her Cayce, queen of the Black Sun, she took Daana's recorder, even if unused, and broke it to show her power or her discontent, or maybe both of them.
Daana at Ku'gan's court
Daana, however still had a good contact with the Hutt, which attempted to use the media at their advantage. She was called at Ku'gan's palace and he told her he was displeased the Black Sun tried to grab the credit of his last idea, the Extractor, a machine made to clean Nar Shaddaa and build by the scientists he hired.
"Nar Shaddaa, Ku'gan Palace: Ku'gan the Hutt affirmed strongly to be at the command on Nar Shadda, and the Extrator was his own project, even if some other organisation try to get the credit. The Extractor is a new machine which will work on cleaning Nar Shaddaa. The first prototypes will be released very soon."
— Daana for the Galactic News
He told her also the struggle for power the hutt had at this time with the Black Sun to get the power left back at Huttila's death.
Living Planet
After having visited Dromund Kaas, Danna and Rakiko wanted to meet the Yuuzhan Vong, they learnt on Hoth most were located on Zonama Sekot but their informant refused to reveal the position of this planet. An interview with the Sith Emperor was also unfruitful to know the nature of the relationship, so they continued their search and someone at the Galactic New Station found out a possible location of the planet. The reporters took a ship and jumped at the mentioned location. After a travel without problem, they had the bad surprise their jump leaded to asteroid field. Daana tried to avoid them in emergency, but she panicked limiting even more her piloting skills and a meteor crashed into the hull of their ship. They had to evacuate the ship in emergency . Daana insisted to bring her full hunting gears with her in the escape pod, but in her precipitation, she didn't attach her correctly.
Daana and Rakiko hard landing
After the hard landing Daana woke up in the middle of unattached object and was rescued by Rakiko. He lifted a crate blocking her leg and with the pain she felt, they knew it was fractured. To prevent another panic, they both instinctively tried to keep a good mood. Rakiko gave the first aid to Daana, splintering her leg and set up the camp with her verbal assistance. The air was breathable, they were on a hard glare in a large rainforest, not far from the meander of a river. They were too far from a relay for they comlinks and didn't see any trace of sentient presence.
Daana teaching to Rakiko the basics of hunting
They had another worry as their supplies were low. Daana was a good huntress, but her broken leg prevented her to practice her skill. She asked Rakiko to search for game track, which would be easy near a water spot, and showed him how to use her hunting equipment, a foldable spear to pick a small animal and traps to place carefully on the track. Rakiko went in the jungle and came back few hours later, delighted to have took a prey, and Daana prepared it in the togruta way, saving the entrails for further fishing.
They lived a couple of days like this, Daana hoping her leg would be quickly better for they move to a better place to camp and to be able to hunt herself. Being immobilised was about to depress her, but she refused to show this feeling to Rakiko, trying to looks enjoyed from his disgust when she shacked the entrails near him.
Daana and Rakiko rescued
After two days, they heart the sound of a mechanic, a couple of bikes where overing quickly in their direction. Daana hoped it was rescues, but just in case, she held her hold-out blaster in her palm, until she saw they brough a child with them. It was actually the local authority of this planet : Commander Zak and Sergeant John, two officers of the Zonama Sekot Rangers, along with Ghourah, an Arkanian child from Onderon, and Raf Marek, a retired jedi. Seeing Daana was wounded and not transportable on their bike, they returned to call a ship to evacuate her to a nearby medical centre where the healer Qarlo Tek waited for her.
After the treatment, which the healer warned Daana against moving during the next five days, the reporters started to question the people present, wondering how they could meet the Yuuzhan Vong, which would be difficult by this time, and if they knew there relations with the Sith Empire, which would be probably hostile on both side they said. Salene Lusch, apparently the leader, and Flint Mokeev looked like interested by their discovery on Dromund Kaas and proposed to visit it soon themselves. They also were surprised to meet a tribe of Cyborgs which had very different behaviours, from helpful to sarcastic, and even had seen a baby of them.
Daana spent too much time for her taste in the med lab recovering, the local holonet broacasts being unable to catch her interest. She also missed the interview Rakiko gave to Salene Lusch, taking two days before reading the record, not thinking it was important as she didn't knew she was the Magister of the planet. Salene Lusch, actually sent a two people exporting Dromund Kaas Emperor Laboratory and they came back to report, confirming what the reporters witnessed. Independently of their ethical disgust of the Emperor experiences and their dangerousness, they didn't want the Yuuzhan Vong are involved in outside conflicts, and started study an appropriate reaction.
They also evoked them the current troubles they had with a crime-lord called Vexxus, sending Quarren thugs to get back a green and poisoned stone. They had however be allusive about the properties of this stone, but this event prevented then they throw all their effort at Dromund Kaas.
Daana, Rakiko, Lanya and Cayce at Zonama Sekot
On Zonama Sekot, they meet Cayce Urriah, which they already had met in the past, at Nar Shadda where she threaded Daana and broke her camera and once on Ruusan when they were going to interview the Jedi. She reiterated her claim the reporters couldn't judge or understand her, but having more time, and being near of a child calmed the mind down. Daana answered she had no intention to judge her or anything but understand what she's the witness and report it to the public. She started to ask few questions but were interrupted by a visitor, and Cayce agreed Daana can continue later, without posing a formal appointment as she was sure she'll met her again. To please everyone, Lanya, the child, made flower necklaces to those not wearing one already.
Personality and Traits
Daana was a sociable and talkative Togruta having left her tribe on Shili to merge with a larger society which is the Galaxy. She enjoyed listening the other, since when child the elders narrated the exploits of the old times.
She liked partnering with Rakiko she considered like a member of her tribe.
Professionally, her ambitions in her interviews were to ask the right questions to allow the truth to progress. The interviewed people may lie her, she believed the truth would eventually emerge with time.
Equipment
As a reporter, Daana usually carried in her bag and pockets recording and communication items and backups, a portable encyclopaedia, a six shots holdout gun, thousands of credits in different currencies and a small first aid medikit.
Occasionally, she might carry her Togruta hunting equipment, a translating device, long range communication devices or any gears required by her current reportage.
