įollowing his departure from the Cularin system in 53 BBY, the Hutt crime lord Riboga placed a bounty on the Gran Nadin Paal, which could only be collected if Paal ever left the Cularin system. The Jedi Council failed to take any action against the Mandalorians, so a number of rogue Jedi teamed up with the Bounty Hunters' Guild to take down the ruling Mandalore. In 200 BBY, the Mandalorians won a war against the Ithullans, then proceeded to exterminate the entire Ithullan species. This pushed the Guild to recruit members of many different species, to prove that the Guild was not speciesist. They invaded Mandalorian territory, and the Mandalorians retaliated by exploding the location of their first meeting - a space station at Ixtlar - killing them all. Vossk, the leader of the Guild, was one of the few loyal to the Creed.Ī few years after 900 BBY, a Human-only faction was created, forming a schism in the Guild. Members of the Guild on Nar Shaddaa turned on each other in eagerness to capture Meetra Surik. With the Jedi nearly extinct, Goto, leader of the Exchange on Nar Shaddaa put out a bounty in the hope that the guild's members would bring them alive however, many thought of it as a decree to destroy Jedi and attempted to kill known survivors. One of the Guild's complexes was located on Trandosha.ĭuring the Old Sith Wars, many hunters ceased to follow the Creed, giving in to the dark, desperate mood of the times. The four founders had a vision of uniting bounty hunters, training apprentices, and encouraging collaboration with the Jedi Order and with each other. Soon, these guilds formed together, creating one overarching group - the Bounty Hunter's Guild. The hunters were allowed to form governing bodies, providing that they adhere to by-laws and create personnel records, leading to the creation of many guilds. The Senate decided that the best way to regulate the hunters was for the bounty hunters to police themselves. With rogue bounty hunters coming into conflict with Jedi Knights more and more often, and leading to an increasing number of deaths, the Jedi Order requested that the Galactic Senate address the matter. Guild Founders Thrassk, Teesoo, Saya Ksi and Keekrim Pon Slaver Syndicate (sometimes turned their bounties over to slavers).

Skine Bounty Hunter College (specialists, who were top at variety of things).Ragnar Syndicate (specializing in unorthodox techniques).Mantis Syndicate (specialized in big groups).House Tresario (specialized in hunting pirates).House Renliss (consisted of female hunters pursuing male bounties).House Paramexor (specialized in hunting murderers).House Neuvalis (rarely dealt with outsiders).

House Benelex (specialized in kidnapping retrieval).

The core of the Bounty Hunters' Guild is made up of ten major houses along with a number of smaller groups, each specializing in a unique brand of bounty hunting, but reporting to the guildmaster. Those guilds were loosely held together by the overarching Bounty Hunters' Guild, each with its own organization, regulation, specialties and agendas. This survivability made him a tool of Count Dooku on several occasions, and Cad Bane even earned the respect of Obi-Wan Kenobi while he was undercover as a bounty hunter.The Bounty Hunters' Guild was composed of many smaller guilds that operated nearly independently. Flamethrowers can’t be blocked by a lightsaber, flying takes out the maneuverability, and the breathing tubes mean you can’t even force choke him. Cad Bane used an ionic mix of dual blasters, Jet Boots, flame throwers, and his breathing tubes to allow him to fight in any environment, and against any enemy. Even against the likes of Jedi Master Mace Windu, Cad Bad always made it out alive and well. On this path, Cad Bane and Boba Fett develop a rocky relationship.Ĭad Bane’s exploits during the Clone Wars included him fighting against the likes of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ashoka Tano on a frequent basis. His name is Cad Bane, and he has done everything from capturing Ashoka Tano to stealing a Holocron out of the Jedi Temple.Īfter the death of Jango Fett, Cad Bane becomes the premier bounty hunter for Darth Sidious to use to push the world towards his ultimate plan of becoming the Empire. Out of the annals of Star Wars history comes one of the most famous bounty hunters in Star Wars. This post contains spoilers for The Book of Boba Fett “Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger.”
