[@Bork Lazer], can I be a financier?

Sure, but it depends on the route you take. You either have to be an Outer Rim smuggler, the head of a wealthy corporation or a Senator to finance a rebel cell. 

I'm not going to enforce what background your financier have to be but just keep in mind that I will doubt the capability of your character to finance a Rebel cell if they were a simple back alley spice dealer.
