The Imperial Agent acts like the spy for the Empire. He specializes to go behind enemy lies and destroy something that is important to the Republic and then disappear before anyone spots him or even better before anyone finds out anything has happened.

The SWTOR Imperial Agent carry out operations that are so important and crucial, that a single Imperial Agent can single handedly cause so much damage to the Republic that cannot even be matched by an army of Sith Warriors. They mainly rely on recon and long range weapons. This combined with accuracy can bring about some pretty serious assassinations. Unlike the Sith who are power hungry, the Imperial Agent actually fights for the citizens of the Empire.

The SWTOR Imperial Agent uses heavy armor that allows him or her for quick movement. Although the Imperial Agent is built to kill from far away, the SWTOR Imperial Agent wouldn’t hesitate to go in close for a kill. They sometimes work alone, and sometimes they also work in groups. The Empire relies on them for secret information regarding the enemies.
