The Confederacy of Independent Systems also
employed numerous bounty hunters to vari-
ous ends during the Clone Wars, from sabotage
to kidnappings to assassinations. This led to
animosity between many bounty hunters and
Republic representatives, including the Jedi‘
While bounty hunters occasionally worked with
Jedi under extreme circumstances during this
time, these alliances were usually matters of con-
venience to both sides.
At times, bounty hunters were even employed
as mercenaries by criminal organizations against
Republic representatives, including an incident
when a group of Hutts hired Cad Bane to hold
senators hostage as a negotiating tactic. While
this was an extreme case, criminal cartels were a
relatively reliable source of employment during
the era of the Republic.

In EDGE or THE EMPIRE, the Bounty Hunter career
reflects a diverse collection of sentient beings eking
out a living as freelance enforcers of the law (or
something like it]. They operate throughout the gal-
axy for anyone who can pay their fees. Whether they
belong to one of the many bounty hunting guilds or
work as independent operators, most are licensed
and bonded, granted limited authority by the Empire
to capture or kill fugitives with full legal backing.
They are used sparingly, in Situations where their
unique skills, mobility, and freedom from normal law
enforcement restrictions are the only way to get a
job done. Admired and hated, respected and feared,
bounty hunters are among the most controversial
figures in the galaxy—a status most of them enjoy
very much indeed.
