Bounty/Legends

"No bounties on you&hellip;a shame."

- Boba Fett to Jaden Korr

A bounty was a monetary reward given when someone was captured or killed for a client. One who sought bounties was a bounty hunter.

The word was used informally to refer to the payment for a service, particularly in the case of finding a missing person.

Bounties were sometimes categorized into local bounties, system bounties, sector bounties and regional bounties. Submission of a valid B23-1-14 permit enabled a bounty hunter to collect the maximum amount possible.

Depending on the jurisdiction, a person without a permit could earn a bounty, as was the norm in Lamaredd.

The Imperial bounty system of the Galactic Civil War era allowed two types of bounties to be posted- public and private, the latter making the poster anonymous, though it could be accessed by someone carrying a bounty hunting license.

During the Imperial Era, Imperial Peace Keeping Certificates were issued to licensed bounty hunters, and were presumably required for hunters of the era.
