Tian Chyler

Tian Chyler was a Human female and served the Imperial Security Bureau.

Biography
Tian Chyler was a member of the Imperial SAGroup, where her pragmatism and ruthlessness earned her a place at the ISB. After her training was complete, she successfully infiltrated the Coruscant law enforcement community, rooting out members of the Rebel Alliance. Pleased with her performance, her superiors gave her a more important assigment: to investigate unregistered Tibanna Gas mining operations on Bespin.

Chyler posed as a Corellian mining official seeking sanctuary from the Imperial occupation on Ando, alongside other Andoans and Aqualish workers.

The information Chyler obtained from the Cloud City miner's guild was later used by Darth Vader to blackmail Lando Calrissian into cooperating in the capture of Han Solo, Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker. She was promised a higher position in the ISB when the Empire took over Cloud City; however her hopes were ruined when the ISB reprimended her for not being able to prevent a revolt staged by the Aqualish workers.

Chyler remained undercover, exposing Rebel sympathizers, though to her frustration, she was never promoted. As the tide of the Galactic Civil War turned against the Empire, Chyler defected to the Rebel Alliance, providing information that helped ensure the liberation of Bespin.
