There job is to go unseen behind enemy lines to destroy key points in the republics defenses and return without anybody ever knowing they were even present. The empire values there agents knowing all too well that a single agent can turn the tide of battle more than an entire legion of sith warriors or inquisitor.

The life of an imperial agent is one of solitude focusing predominantly on reconnaissance and specialising in killing from afar utilising sniper rifles however is more than capable of dispatching enemies silently from stealth.

Sometimes they work alone; however, sometimes they are a part of a strike team of other agents. The Empire relies heavily on them for their cunning and sneaking. In the end, the fate of the Empire might rest on the information provided by the agent over any other class. However, maybe the agent will mess things up. You decide.
