Eridan Wesyse

Eridan Wesyse was a male COMPNOR bureaucrat appointed by the Galactic Empire as editor-in-chief for the Coruscant newsroom of HoloNet News, to replace Mandora Catabe due to her anti-Imperial views, as part of increasing propaganda pressure on the press and media. Wesyse previously worked as a censor for the Empire. Eridan's first staffing decision was the promotion of Calliope Drouth, who became famous after an article on the suffering of the Wookiees, from which the Imperial Censorship excluded the entire author's position, up to the senior reporter, and her appointment as the head of the "Voice of the Empire" column. He sent her to the Imperial Ball at the Imperial Palace, where she was to form an opinion on the fashion of the highest echelon of dignitaries and officers of the Empire.
