Karn's Relinquary
When Imperial Peacekeepers arrived on the scene they found the Commander's residence to be thoroughly searched. Clearly they had been searching for something and they had found it. Built into the floor the peacekeepers discovered a safe that was sliced open by what looked to be a lightsaber. All that remained inside were a few thousand credits, but it was obvious that the main item that had been inside was missing. About the size of a book. Go to the penthouse apartment, search it, interrogate Commander Karn to find out what had been stolen.

Rumor was that the Imperial Security Bureau was panicking. They knew the Emperor would be livid that something had happened to ruin the skyline from his Raxus palace and the involvement of a high-ranking commander cast the worst kind of light on them. After all, if Commander Karn truly was corrupt then how could the ISB be trusted to handle real espionage assignments? Get your affairs in order, give the Imperial Armed Forces control and oversight. The whole bureau was on the brink of a coup if they didn't manage to solve this quickly.
The intelligence department had ciphers, but for this assignment the director had chosen someone who had been critical of Commander Karn before. Agent Guinevere was perhaps not the best impartial investigator, but if something of a dislike for Levik lingered she might have the right drive to push him into the airlock that much faster.
So they send her in alone, without an impartial partner to play Devaronian's Advocate, and as the elevator dinged and the doors into Commander Karn's penthouse slid open she was looking at the confused faces of a dozen peacekeepers. They appeared to be investigating as well, their own investigation perhaps, but some of them looked a bit more rough around the edges than Imperial dress protocol preferred.
One of them, standing close to the elevator as if to guard it, saluted the agent. "Peacekeeper Cala, ma'am," he said, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly afterwards as if he was nervous about seeing her here.
