Bounty Hunters' Guild

Bounty Hunters' Guild
Bounty Hunters track down criminals for money. Each Bounty Hunter is licensed by the Empire, and is exempt from certain laws (such as weapon restrictions or the use of violence) in the pursuit of lawful targets. Bounties may be posted by an approved law enforcement agency (Imperial or local), as well as corporations. Law enforcement may place bounties for criminal acts, while corporate bounties are purely for civil infractions. Private bounties and bounties from known criminal organizations are not legally sanctioned, so Hunters cannot expect the same freedoms in the pursuit of illegal targets.

In theory, Bounty Hunters operate under a code of professional conduct: don't interfere with another Hunter (though competing for the same target is allowed); don't kill another Hunter; don't kill a target unless necessary or required by the contract; don't break the law in the pursuit of a target. In practice, successful Hunters rarely follow these rules, and tend to laugh at any newcomers who quote the rules to them. So long as there is little collateral damage, the Empire rarely intervenes in a conflict between Hunters.

The Guild is more of a professional talent agency than a real law enforcement agency. Licensed Bounty Hunters can visit the Guild in their Sector to check up on the latest bounty postings. People looking to post a bounty can contact the local Guild, though the Guild will not register any illegal/private bounties (at least, not officially). The roster of local Hunters is always changing, as some die, others retire, and a few move on to other areas of the Galaxy.
