Bounty Hunters' Guild

"Gronson Takkaro, by the authority of the Bounty Hunters Guild, you are now my acquisition."

- Bossk

The Bounty Hunters' Guild, also known as the Bondsman's Guild. or simply the Guild, was an institution that regulated the bounty-hunting trade. When the guild assigned one of its members to pursue the subject of a government bounty, only that particular hunter was authorized to go after that particular acquisition. Bossk, a vicious Trandoshan known for hunting Wookiees, was a member of the Bounty Hunters' Guild as early as the Clone Wars. Members of the Guild were required to follow the Bounty Hunter Code.

During the reign of the Galactic Empire, the guild was given authority by the Imperial Office of Criminal Investigation to issue Imperial Peace-Keeping Certificates, which allowed its holder access to the Imperial Enforcement DataCore. Sometime after the fall of the Empire, Greef Karga, a human, gained leadership of the guild and operated on Nevarro.

Behind the scenes
The Bounty Hunters' Guild originates in the Star Wars Legends novel The Mandalorian Armor from 1998. It was introduced to canon when it was mentioned in the 2014 junior novel Ezra's Gamble.
