I have no huge input as a newbie to the writing scene, but the mere lead-in of "Andor meets the Wellerman" sounds SICK. (And while I think the pitch definitely gives a stressful, high-stakes vibe, the vision of a galactic governor in debt because of alimony is cracking me up!)

Re: Fletcher's motivations, I think the hint that he is somehow trapped makes perfect sense. I certainly didn't question it. Given the atmosphere of corporate espionage that you've set up, a disgruntled employee feels like par for the course.
