A case officer was an intelligence officer who recruited operatives and managed their activities. During the Clone Wars, Dodd Rancit was a case officer with the intelligence agency of the Galactic Republic. As such, he notably supplied Commander Wilhuff Tarkin with counter-intelligence operatives. After the Republic was reorganized into the first Galactic Empire by Sheev Palpatine, the new Imperial Security Bureau (or ISB) also made use of case officers. One of them, Stellan, recruited the Koorivar spy codenamed "Bracchia".
