Agent
Those who are classed as agents are law enforcement officers, customs officials, spies, and saboteurs, those who work in the shadows, or shine a light on them. Agents work for every major state, and virtually every corporation. Agents frequently have a good deal of latitude with their employers, and special legal protection that other citizens of local society lack. Though they are often part of larger agencies, on a daily basis, agents often work alone, or in small groups, though it is not unheard of for vast spy rings to bring entire worlds to their knees.
