Bounty hunter (Earth-2356)

"«Jabba's put a price on your head so large every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you.»"

- Greedo, to Han Solo

Bounty hunters are mercenaries who can be hired to capture or kill a designated target. The target will have a price or bounty on their heads that will be collected by the bounty hunter upon successful capture or proof of death. These targets can be classified in numerous ways in the bingo book, a book used by bounty hunters with information about wanted targets, from D-rank, easy targets, to S-rank, highly dangerous or sensitive targets. Bounty hunters will sometimes team together as part of a larger mission or to handle dangerous targets. As a profession, bounty hunting was organized and regulated by various guilds, such as the Bounty Hunters' Guild.

Despite their political neutrality and independence, many bounty hunters are effective "Jedi killers", which made their services desirable to the Galactic Empire. During the era of the Galactic Republic, rogue Jedi who defected from the Jedi Order's many sects often became mercenary Jedi and bounty hunters. There are often rivalries between bounty hunters and smugglers serving the same clients, notably between Boba Fett, Han Solo, and Bossk.
