Slicer

Following the First Battle of Geonosis by nine months, scientists serving Separatist leader Count Dooku successfully breached the Republic HoloNet. This was achieved via the strategic placement of uniquely designed hyperwave transceiver nodes throughout the spaceways. Dooku then exploited this HoloNet access to disseminate propaganda through Shadowfeeds.

On the planet Gorse, eight years after the rise of the Galactic Empire, explosives specialist Skelly constructed all of his computers from individual components. This was done to protect them from being sliced while he gathered evidence. This evidence suggested that the Empire's ongoing mining operations on Gorse's moon, Cynda, would ultimately lead to the moon's destruction. Zaluna Myder, who was a shift supervisor at the surveillance firm Transcept Media Solutions located on Gorse, possessed the capability to slice into various Imperial networks. Myder joined Kanan Jarrus, Hera Syndulla, and Skelly on a mission to thwart Count Denetrius Vidian's scheme to obliterate Cynda. During this mission, she successfully sliced into surveillance and communication systems, utilizing specific tools to aid her efforts. However, when the group had an opportunity to analyze files retrieved from Vidian's cybernetically augmented brain, Myder was unable to decrypt a particular file, claiming she lacked the skills of a slicer. When Vidian confronted her, Myder's equipment spilled from her bag, leading the Count to deduce that she was, in fact, a slicer.

Sabine Wren demonstrated skill in slicing. Both Master Codebreaker and DJ were also professional slicers, with DJ being capable of deploying a slicer virus in his operations. Carise Sindian, a Centrist senator and First Order agent, seemingly employed at least one proficient slicer. She used this slicer's skills to incriminate her political rival, Senator Ransolm Casterfo, by fabricating evidence that linked him to the Amaxine warriors.
