Rand, Kella
this woman worked as a reporter for the Galactic News Network during the early years of the New Republic. The daughter of parents who owned a refueling station, Kella discovered independence and self-reliance at an early age. She attended college on Corellia, majoring in diplomatic relations in the hope of learning more about other planets. However, she lacked the patience to deal with the nuances of diplomacy, and became an apprentice to a Corellian reporter in order to pay for her education. Upon graduation, she was hired by GNN, and once interviewed a childhood friend of Han Solo. After being given a column of her own, Kella was sent to Elom to cover a mining revolt, and was noted for her coverage of the investigation into the assassination of Shek Barayel on Indu San. She could covera any news event, from the fluff of the society pages to in-depth political analysis.
