Private investigator

A private investigator (or simply PI) is an individual who can be hired to undertake investigations.

Terri Renu told her parents that she managed to gain documentation about her heritage from a private investigator in 2359.

By 2369, Drake Mallory left the Aldebaran Police Department due to frustrations with the corruption within the system and moved to the Rigel system to work as a PI. (Kal-Dixas Spaceport)
