"Jabba's put a price on your head so large every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you."
―Greedo to Han Solo[src]
BountyHunters

Several bounty hunters join Darth Vader aboard the Executor.

Bounty hunters were individuals who could be hired to capture or kill a designated target. The target would have a price or bounty on their heads that would be collected by the bounty hunter upon successful capture or proof of death.[1] Bounty hunters would sometimes team together as part of a larger mission[2] or to handle dangerous targets.[3]

Some bounty hunters acted like mercenaries and were hired to do jobs other than tracking down bounties. Jango Fett, a famous bounty hunter active before the Clone Wars, was hired by Lord Tyranus to be the genetic template for the Grand Army of the Republic.[4] El-Les and Bric were hired to help train the clone troopers.[5]

By the reign of the Galactic Empire, many bounty hunters were affiliated with the Bounty Hunters' Guild, which was authorized by the Imperial Office of Criminal Investigation to issue Imperial Peace-Keeping Certificates,[6] which gave bounty hunters access to the Imperial Enforcement DataCore.[7]

Bounties could come from a variety of ways. The Galactic Empire employed bounty hunters to hunt down Rebels.[1] Private individuals could also list bounties on people. Jabba the Hutt placed a very large bounty on Han SoloCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many who was captured by Boba Fett.[1]
