The hunt for Vader, also known as the hunt for the Hidden Hand, was undertaken during the reign of the Galactic Empire when the mysterious criminal organization known as the Hidden Hand hired a group of bounty hunters to hunt down and kill the Sith Lord Darth Vader. Vader, however, was on the hunt for the syndicate at the same time in order to destroy them and prevent them from selling weapons to the rebellion.^[2]
