Deena Riss

Deena Riss was a human female agent of the Republic Strategic Information Service during the Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire, when she worked to track down the notorious spymaster known as the Shroud. Upon learning that the Shroud was planning something big, Riss recruited a Republic agent and provided them with the Shroud's own EV2 discreet reconnaissance macrobinoculars to track down relays and Shroud agents throughout the galaxy.
Gathering intel from the Shroud's bases on Coruscant, Quesh and Belsavis ultimately revealed that the Shroud had planted a hyperspace beacon in Galactic City, which would pilot a dreadnaught past the orbital defenses and have it crash into Coruscant. The Republic agent subsequently pursued the Shroud to his base on Nar Shaddaa and killed him, before deactivating the beacon, sending the dreadnaught flying into Coruscant Prime. Additionally, the agent found encrypted data in the Shroud's databanks.
Unfortunately, when the agent returned to Riss's office, a Shroud replicator droid had placed a collar on the back of Riss's neck which would go off if anyone approached her. The droid then changed into the image of the Shroud, who revealed that he had a decoy die in his place. But his decoy had stolen information he was not supposed to and demanded that the agent wipe it from Riss's console in exchange for Riss's life.
The agent then chose to save Riss's life, and compiled with the Shroud's demands. Upholding his end of the bargain, the Shroud released Riss, bid the agent farewell, and detonated the replicator droid. Riss was initially unhappy that the Shroud was allowed to escape, but then convinced herself that the agent's actions were overall positive, as the attack on Coruscant had been thwarted.

At the end of the questline, if Riss is saved, the player can attempt to flirt with Riss again, asking if she would like to celebrate "at a cantina or somewhere more private."
