Assassin

Deathstick, an assassin and crime lord

"Honey, this isn't about your cause. This is about revenge. My employer wants to get even with you. Simple as that."

―Aurra Sing

Assassins were individuals, sometimes professionally trained or experienced, who killed influential individuals for personal cause or in service of an organization. Often times, assassins also worked as bounty hunters, being hired by employers who would pay a substantial reward for the death of a certain target or targets.

Some assassins included Jango Fett, Cad Bane, Zam Wesell, Aurra Sing, Darth Maul, Savage Opress, Rukh, Deathstick, and Ochi.
