Bounty hunter/Legends

''This article is about the people known as bounty hunters. You may also be looking for the video game Bounty Hunter.''

Bounty hunters were the mercenary police force of the galaxy, tracking and capturing or killing anyone who had a price on their head. A good bounty hunter was very well armed and very dangerous. There were, however, plenty of incompetent specimens throughout the Galaxy, lacking any real skill but wishing to get rich quick or have an adventure.

Bounty hunters usually worked alone, although they sometimes did form partnerships. Partnering with a bounty hunter could be very dangerous business, though, as they typically valued their personal gain&mdash;and survival&mdash;above that of their companions.

There was a Bounty Hunters Guild, but it was often plagued with infighting and a general lack of cooperation between its members.
