i've spoken to ~dolts player, and we've worked out that he doesn't know danae as the sith lady just yet. the reveal will happen at some point in game.
what i have thus far is that she will be an ambassador from naboo to alderaan as a special negotiator for trade. but, she is mostly interested in gaining access to the court and getting closer to the queen. while simultaneously doing a good enough job to have reasons to travel to coruscant and rub elbows with the high and mighty.
