Organizational information

"They're only bounty hunters. They have no allegiance."
―Maul[16]

Bounty hunters were individuals who could be hired to capture or kill a designated target. The target would have a price orbounty on their heads that would be collected by the bounty hunter upon successful capture or proof ofdeath. Bounty hunters would sometimes team together as part of a larger mission or to handle dangerous targets.

Description[]

"Respected and feared by all those who encounter them, a bounty hunter is part pirate, part mercenary, with just a hint of assassin thrown in for good measure when the job requires. Whereas a pirate usually deals in goods, a bounty hunter deals in people. But not just any people. No, no, no. As their name suggests, bounty hunters are interested only in those who have a high price—or bounty—placed on their heads."
―Hondo Ohnaka[17]

A bounty hunter was an individual who could be hired to capture, hunt, or eliminate a designated target if such target had a price orbounty on their heads that could be collected by the bounty hunter, either capturing orkilling the target, depending on their clients' wishes.[3] For the right price, most bounty hunters had no morals and did everything for the money. Aside from the highest bidder, bounty hunters were only loyal to themselves.[18] Bounties could be put out on theHunter Net[19] or given in-person to a hunter.[20]

"Class one bounty hunters" were known for their exceptional skills, reputation, and ability to take on particularly dangerous or high-profile targets.[21] Bounty hunters also often associated with the underworld, face-to face and direct commission with achit card.[20]

Many bounty hunters acted likemercenaries and were hired to do jobs other than tracking down bounties.[22][23][24] Indeed,Greef Karga of theBounty Hunters' Guild outright stated all hunters were effectively mercenaries, explaining that hunters only stayed around a place if profit or work were to be had.[25] Although hunters had no true loyalty to them, only staying around for payment[16] or if a job offering emerged,[26]Hutts often kept hunters on retainer so as to have more experienced and capablebodyguards protecting them;Jabba the Hutt was one such Hutt who kept several renowned hunters with him or within Hutt palaces throughout theClone Wars and theGalactic Civil War.[22][23][24] Several bounty hunters also worked asassassins, being hired by employers who would pay a substantial reward for the death of a certain target or targets.[27]

Independent-mindeddroids could also act as bounty hunters, to the dismay of the organic bounty hunting professional known as "the Mandalorian," who simply referred to one, theassassin droidIG-11, a "bounty droid."[20] In cases such as theHaxion Brood Bounty Droid, droids could be reprogrammed to assist hunters in their work.[15]

History[]

"Bounty hunters! We don't need their scum."
―Imperial AdmiralFirmus Piett —20?cb=20250116042720Link▶️(file info)[3]

TheTempest Breakers bounty guild was established by formerNihilTempest RunnerLourna Dee and former NihilpirateQuin Carree during theHigh Republic Era.[28] Bounty hunterShenda Mol was a figure active in the lateRepublic Era, during which time she began a spree of mass-murders in her pursuit of bounties; rather than just take out her intended target, she began to indiscriminately wipe out beings in her path as part of a competition with herself to slay one being of every age from zeroyears of age to two hundred.[29] Around66 BBY,[30] the Jedi Order dispatched astrike team tocapture Mol, who was sent to the planetStygeon Prime to answer for her crimes.[29]Jango Fett was hired byTyranus to be thegenetictemplate for theGrand Army of the Republic.[31] During the Clone Wars,El-Les andBric were hired to help train theclone troopers.[1]

Boba Fett, a male, was considered the best bounty hunter in the galaxy during the Imperial Era.

Boba Fett, ahuman male, was considered the best bounty hunter in the galaxy during the Imperial Era.

By thereign of theGalactic Empire, many bounty hunters were affiliated with theBounty Hunters' Guild, which was authorized by theImperial Office of Criminal Investigations to issueImperial Peace-Keeping Certificates,[32] which gave bounty hunters access to theImperial Enforcement DataCore.[33]

Following theBattle of Endor, theZabrak bounty hunterJas Emari attempted to collectNew Republic bounties on theImperial officersAdmiralRae Sloane,Grand MoffValco Pandion,GeneralJylia Shale, the financierArsin Crassus, and theImperial adviserYupe Tashu. Emari subsequently joinedNorra Wexley'steam and played a role in therebellion onAkiva. In the months after the events ofEndor, the bounty hunterDengar predicted that the new government would start forcing bounties on other bounty hunters.[34]

In5 ABY,Grand Admiral Sloane later hired the bounty hunterMercurial Swift to assassinateVice AdmiralPerwin Gedde and to rescueCommandantBrendol Hux and his sonArmitage Hux fromArkanis under orders fromFleet AdmiralGallius Rax. After theLiberation Dayattack onChandrila, the New Republic began denying services to bounty hunters in response to mass paranoia following the attack.[4]

Later, Swift decided to collect theBlack Suncrime lordGyuti's bounty on Jas Emari. He hired Dengar,Embo, andJeeta as his crew. However, Emari managed to turn Swift's crew against him by convincing them that the New Republic would reward them for helping to hunt Grand Admiral Sloane. Due to their services during theBattle of Jakku, Dengar, Embo, and Jeeta received full pardons and some money from the New Republic. They then joinedEmari's crew.[35]

Pokkit took low rent jobs for the Bounty Hunters' Guild, although one of her bounties was stolen by ahuman who she knew asDash Zentin. She later began working for a private client, and so no longer needed to take work from the Guild.[36]

Around 9 ABY, agalactic recession led to exceptionally low bounties, making the dangerous profession less attractive. As a result, at the request of the client ordering the bounty or at the discretion of the local Guild boss, high-value targets were assigned to several bounty hunters equipped with identicaltracking fobs.[37]
