James Skirata-Shan

James Skirata-Shan was a prominent journalist from 2-4 ACV. He has since disappeared from the public eye. He later wrote the successful Mando Encyclopaedia.

Journalism career
He started a news organisation that quickly grew, and he became a famous spokesperson: some famous ones that he interviewed are Chancellor Candor, Senator Mandalore among others. He is known for his support for the Populists, and later the Galactic People's Front as he criticised the Centralist leadership and became an advocate for de-centralisation and less power for the Chancellor.

Later Life
After about 4 or 5 ACV, he grew weary of the lifestyle and moved away from Coruscant to the Outer Rim to start a new humble life after the Hutt War, and the eventual Separatist Crisis. He wrote several biographies on republic politicians and figures, including the ex-friend Senator of the Perlimian who he criticised in an allegory. He also wrote the Mando Encyclopaedia in 6 ACV, which sold a few million copies and cemented his new Outer-Rim author career.

Even though he has not appeared on the HoloNet or made any public appearances, he has made several statements. He has settled down with a wife, has his own man-den and keeps two Coruscanti Curs (Stratts) one named Floppy and the other named Baxter. His hobbies include Mando'a practice, bowling and eating.

Personality
Charming and bright, he respects everyone no matter their political orientation.
