Profile
Several articles in the last couple years regarding Pirate raids originally sourced back to her writing. A number of her holos made their way to mainstream media, showing the sheer ferocity of the attacks and the lengths people go to stop them.
Rumor has it she used to work with a Mercenary band prior to becoming a reporter.
Even less reliable rumors say she's also working for the RDC.
Background
She grew up on the edge of Hutt Space, and joined a Mercenary Outfit known as Lost Shield. They had the tag line of "Being a Shield for those Lost in these times." She thought it was hokey kriff, but whatever. It got her off the planet, and into a job where she felt like she might be able to help people. Her first five years had her working security jobs and even six months doing "local enforcement of well established businesses in close proximity to one another with high traffic of civilian and criminal elements." She was not bitter about those six months working as a Mall Cop.
A Mall Cop... NOT. BITTER.
But, after that, they decided to give her a job in something more "interesting" working with others on Pirate detail. She worked with locals to try and stop the pirates. After several times, one survived Transport crash (where she realized she was being an idiot), and two months, she left. Now 24 she started instead to work as a freelance Reporter, using the contacts she had made to gain her access and insight into recent pirate attacks. Her reporting was reasonably successful, using it to try and encourage the Republic to move faster in responding to the threats. That is, until she got a strange call.
A couple years later, now 27, she came back into the mainstream with her Journalism - at least publicly that was what happened - to once more try and assist far flung worlds.

NOC
A Reporter who's well known in some circles for her work showing the devastation of Pirates amongst the Expansion region. Her work has been picked up a few times over the years by even mainstream media. Her coverage of an attack by the Hutt worlds, which the Hutts vehemently denied as being their doing, led to a settlement by one of the Hutt lords to stymie a sanction being placed on the region as a whole. While Syralana wasn't credited for the Holo directly, the outlet that bought her story was.
Someone researching her across the Holonet can find articles over the last 3 years - though more scant in the last two - authored by her all pertaining to attacks. A really dedicated search, might even turn up a holo of a young woman who looks very similar in light armor or combat fatigues as part of a Mercenary outfit known as "Lost Shield." While Syralana has been active as a Journalist, her rather niche work means that she's hardly a common name to drop, though people who have an interest in those sort of articles have probably seen her name now and again.
