Republic Correctional Authority/Legends

The Republic Correctional Authority, or RCA, was an organization in the time of the Old Republic which tracked down and attempted to rehabilitated dangerous criminals. The organization was responsible for putting bounties on several criminals throughout the galaxy, most notably Meeko Ghintee. The organization only posted bounties on criminals who were causing damage to the Republic system. The Republic Correctional Authority was dismantled when the Empire came into power. Due to stricter laws, enforcement and punishment, there was little need for the underfunded organization.

On an interesting note, the organization also posted bounties for 'kills' or 'Wanted Dead'. This is strange because Republic law is opposed to capital punishment, especially on unidentified, lower-ranking thugs. The 'Dead' bounties are always worth less than the 'Alive' bounties, and the organization never posted any 'Shoot on Site' bounties, as this would cause confliction within the Galactic Senate.
