Yes! They allow you go on specific types of missions. Each one has a different reward level and you can request things from them. Or-or they'll give you things that prevent you from feeling shift effects or even bypass getting taken by the droids. [ He'll take a bite of his cookie mmm delicious. ]

They also aren't as rough and missions are actually voluntary usually. I-I'd like to say it's a tad bit more humane than the droids. It's a small step but it's at least a step.
