A good chunk of it is just checking up on various operations and so on, but when she has legit free time she tends to riff on those cop shows mentioned before.
When she's got the time or wants to do it for the fun of it, yes. Half the time she even lets them know in advance. The other half of the time...producers don't like talking about Ciaran's 'unannounced guest appearances.'
Assuming a full villain, probably an Arkanian clone gone wrong. Her ego would be cranked up to insane, Fate Gilgamesh-equivalent levels (MONGRELS!), her desire to own the galaxy would become the need to conquer it completely, and given enough time she'd become the next Darth Nihilus, consuming everything in sight. It'd be bad fucking news, is what I'm saying.
If you're talking the equivalent of a revolver, it'd probably be the DL-44 like I mentioned earlier. Aside from that I don't think there are any 'pocket shotguns' or anything like that being officially produced.
1. Even if I gave you an exact number, would you believe me?
2. The Silencer and HK-47 do not have downtimes; they're too busy killing everything. Ditto with PR-1, work literally never stops for him. Silas tends to gamble on his spare time, whether it be on the Oracle or at some cantina or gambling den. Grievous tends to go on hunts for whatever horrifying creature has caught his interest that day. No one's seen Thrawn take a break, but people assume when he does he's looking over various artwork for purely recreational purposes...probably. Asajj usually does some light training, mainly because she's still used to living very simply. Ciaran's been trying to get her into something fun but so far nothing's really taken. Jango is similar, but he either calls back to Mandalore or goes on a day trip every so often to see how Boba's doing.
I don't think it'd clear customs.
1. On occasion she indulges.
2. Yes, but 90% of the time that's such an irrelevant detail it won't come up in posts.
3. Probably one of her cousins she has on hand. Odds are good it'll be Chora, but she's willing to be convinced otherwise.
4. Nah. He's Good-aligned.
1. Aside from the omake a little bit; she did model her cantina franchises after her old haunt out of a bit of nostalgia.
2. Not very. They're usually found very quickly and persuaded to stop doing that.

You say that like he wouldn't find it hilarious. Humour transcends good and evil especially that at the expense of others.

How about DT-29 heavy blaster pistol? It's semi-aestectically pleasing and packs quite a punch.
Or these...
Probably not, no, sorry.
And his sister, can't forget her... poor soul...
Oh,
1- about Ciaran and CNS: how do the "leaders" feel about Ciaran? I mean lately in most situations she's reasonable and tries to work with them, help with "minimal" repay (Becta crisis).
2-a. how CIS and Republic views CNS?
2-b. will increased CNS military cause inner unrest?
2-c. do CNS know Abyss Watchers and do they consider them as spec-ops, or merely beneficial mercenaries?
3- Has Ciaran's view of Duchess and Prime Minister changed? Both showed to be perceptive and careful, yet reasonable.
4- Naboo and Padme... what will CIS think about this and their "goal"? ( P.S. Palpatine's not happy.)

He's aware of the Green Jedi and is semi-familiar with them. And as for how the trolling will continue that's totes spoilers. A magician never reveals their secrets.
Arla's basically been joined to Jango at the hip for the time being; it's not the healthiest thing possible but it's better than outright insanity and she's been getting actual therapy.
1. Satine really doesn't like Ciaran on a personal level between her shadiness and her trolling, but she's come to the understanding that the CNS would fall apart without her help and is willing to tolerate her presence. As for Zinnerman, he's more inclined to see eye-to-eye on Ciaran with more things given his cynicism, but he's concerned that if Ciaran's left unchecked she's going to drag the CNS back into the war.
2.a. The CIS does not like the Council especially given the loss of the IGBC and the Northern Rim as a whole to them. With the Republic it's more complicated; the two most extreme perspectives see them as either moral paragons protesting against a pointless war, or a group of disloyal worlds and borderline traitors. No prizes for guessing which political factions have which opinions. Also worth noting that these opinions tend to stay in upper leadership of both sides, publicly the CNS is a highly respected institution due to Satine's diplomatic efforts and Ciaran's PR helping it along.
2.b. Now that there's quantifiable evidence that they're being actively targeted through groups like Saboath, not really.
2.c. Not entirely and it varies heavily by location; the Banking Clan is quite familiar with them due to the hiring of Muun accountants, they're fairly well-known on Kalee for obvious reasons, and so on.
3. Ciaran thinks that it's about damn time that Satine realized that the galaxy is much crueler than her ideals and is happy that the two of them can at least cooperate. As for Zinnerman, she's starting to really like having him around mainly because his cynical view that everyone has it out for the CNS is completely right, even if it comes from an incorrect base.
4. Spoilers.

@Dr. Snark are there any plans to have more Cünuel in the story? His canon omakes have been fun to read, and the idea of this guy who's been there from the beginning acting as the straight man to Ciaran is cool.

What about Obi wan?
Has Ciaran realized that all the women that Obi-wan fell in love with happen to be blonds?
Yes. She thinks it's hilarious.
First, you should be thanking @Killerflood for writing said omakes. Second, I'm sure I can find something; I did something similar for Kygeetu and Dani after all.
Around how strong of a combatant is Ciaran at this point?
Would it be possible to get a trait where Ciaran adds her intrigue into her combat potential or is that automatic?

How much does the employees of the Silver Cross know about Ciaran and her other organizations?
What are the thoughts of the Chriss ascendency on the various faction? theoretically mind you, as they might not actually know of them or the whole galactic mess currently. but if they did know of the galactic situation and know of the CIS, CNS and republic, what would be their thoughts on them?

Again, depends on how high up in the hierarchy you are.
They'd call the Republic inefficient, the CIS unnecessarily cruel, and the CNS too disorganized.
1. It might be a bit broad, but I like writing scenes that highlight peoples' character development.
2. He's much more chill for one. Also these days he lives on Mandalore and gets a lot of respect for being the son of the Resurgent, so he's got a much better social life. He might actually be able to communicate in more than terse sentences in the future!
3. Depends on the rank. At worst they're just militiamen, at best they're a 1:1 match for a trooper.
4. It's hard to say; Anakin's been keeping as much of that to himself as he can when it comes to Ahsoka. He doesn't want his doubts to affect her; he knows full well that Ahoska wants to fully be a part of the Order unlike him. That being said, she has noticed that her Master has become more...relaxed in recent days for a better term.
5. As I recall there was a Force order that basically mastered teleportation. Give me that any day.
6. You're assuming I know what that woman was thinking at the time.
7. All things considered Ciaran's developed a taste for Kaleesh cuisine; it helps that the planet's chefs consistently serve her only the finest of meals.
1. You're closer. That's all I'm willing to say.
2. Nope. But I'm willing to say that Ciaran plans on shoving the Dagger of Mortis into Palpatine's black heart given the chance; being associates with Vectivus has taught her that a Sith could cheat death given the opportunity and she's going to make absolutely sure he's dead dead dead.
3. There's plenty of EU one-off villains I could use. Aside from that, spoilers.
Well considering it can kill personifications of The Force, I'd say Palpatine is going to get a rude surprise when he tries to lift his spirit out of his body. So all we'll have to worry about is a bunch of brain dead Palpatine Clones.

1. Has Grandpa been showing people pictures of Ciaran as a baby/kid?
2. Has HK gone on any missions not mentioned so far and which have been the most interesting?
3. Does HK have a folder on all known force users and a list of plans to eliminate them?
-3.5. How would HK recommend going about an assassination of Ciaran, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan or that one Chiss Sith who's name I can't remember.

1. But of course.
2. Yes, actually. As for interesting ops there was an incident involving a Sith Acolyte that attempted to infiltrate some facilities on Fresia, forcing HK to figure out a way to kill him off without being too obvious. And I totally did not make that up just now.
3. Of course he does.
3.5. Ciaran: Honestly she's one of the more difficult people to fight by HK's standards given that she's got a resistance to psych warfare and a lot of nasty close-combat abilities like Matukai and Shatterpoint. He'd recommend isolating her as best as possible, followed by as many rapid and disorienting attacks as possible to overwhelm her Force vision. Improvisation is key, otherwise her Shatterpoint perception might pick up the assassination attempt.
Ahsoka: Solid combatant on her own with abnormally high tactical planning abilities. Recommended counter-strategies would involve injuring/killing those under her command to demoralize her, and play to her impetuousness to gain an edge.
Obi-Wan: Target either Siri or Satine to demoralize him, then attack as soon as possible afterwards while he is unable to fully control his emotions. Use some form of chemical - perhaps carbonite - to prevent him from dragging out a fight with Soresu.
Sev'rance: Well if I told you how HK would do it that risks spoiling the interlude that's coming up. Where she dies. That part's not a spoiler.

Mate, she's got Asajj, Maul, and Savage after her.
I'm not even going to pretend she stands a chance.
