Mercenary (Earth-2356)

A mercenary (merc for short), sometimes also called soldier of fortune, hired gun, or free lance, is a soldier who fight or work in other ways (mostly in those involving violence) for any faction in exchange for a desirable amount of money. Some work as bounty hunters. Rogue Jedi who left the Jedi Order often became mercenary Jedi, using their abilities to serve the highest bidder.

Sometimes, the word mercenary is used as a derogatory term for someone who valued credits over other things, such as ideals or kinship.
