The Press Corps of the Galactic Republic played a crucial role in managing propaganda initiatives during the Galactic War era. After the Eternal Empire conquest and the subsequent Zakuul–Republic treaty was signed, Republic leadership observed the effectiveness of the Morale Initiative spearheaded by Havoc Squad operative M1-4X. Consequently, M1-4X was transferred to the Press Corps, with the aim of sustaining the morale boost among Republic troops stationed away from active combat zones. M1-4X's tenure within the Press Corps saw a notable surge, with recruitment and voluntary redeployment rates climbing by fourteen percent. In 3631 BBY, the Alliance Commander convinced the droid to abandon his position and directly contribute to raising morale by joining the Anti-Zakuul Alliance to fight against the Eternal Empire.
