This has probably already been suggested but I believe that this is necessary and shouldn't be too hard to implement and balance. Firstly, all the cutscenes for Imperial Agent feature the player character using a sidearm, which disappears from the character after the cutscene is over. Secondly, If the Imperial Agent Operative is supposed to be a reflection of the Scoundrel, then Agents or at least IO's should be given a blaster pistol. It also sells the aesthetic of an Imperial Agent, In particular, the Operative class is a short to mid-range class. Also, the blaster rifle on the back is just ugly, in my opinion. Being able to use a blaster pistol and ditch the blaster rifle for the Imperial Operative would be great.
