Bodyguard/Legends



Bodyguards were beings hired to protect someone. Many people in the galaxy, from Palpatine down to Jabba the Hutt had bodyguards.

Bodyguards were often hired to protect high-risk heads of big corporations, such as San Hill of the Banking Clan. Most crime lords hired bodyguards, as they were big targets for an assassin hired by a rival. In the days of the Old Republic, Jedi often served as bodyguards for senators or the Supreme Chancellor, up until the Clone Wars, when the Senate Guard (later the Red Guard) took over the protection of the Chancellor. Grievous, leader of the CIS droid army, had IG-100 Magnaguards act as his bodyguards. During the reign of the Empire, stormtroopers could often be found protecting various officials of the Empire.

Gamorreans were often hired as bodyguards.
