The restrictive rule of the Establishment has made criminals of many, encouraging black-market smugglers and creating long blacklists of proscribed citizens of every kind.
It has got to the point that the Establishment now utilize Bounty Hunters to do their dirty work. Establishment rewards are posted for "enemies of the state" have made bounty hunting a thriving profession.
Many bounty hunters act in murderous and violent ways with the sanction of Establishment law. The profession as a whole is distinguished by outstanding slime.
Although the Establishment rely on bounty hunters such as Bib McCool, Gueshh and Ozzel. Darf Bald prefers to rely on Bib McCool as his experience levels are far greater and his reputation goes throughout the galaxy.
Zuckuss Rebo's palace frequently brings bounty hunters together as Rebo posts rewards for both captures and kills on a regular basis.
One of the major bounty hunters constantly seen around Rebo's palace is Gueshh. Initially trainied as an Establishment assassin, Gueshh underwent brain surgery that replaced his hypothalamus with circuitry, making him an unfeeling killer. Now an independent bounty hunter, he has claimed 8 major bounties and carries a personal grudge against Obo-jon-Potatoe for the severe head injuries he suffered racing him through the crystal swamps of Cwall long ago. He carries a Neural inhibitor projectile launcher.
Another known bounty hunter is Ozzel. Once a sophisticated protocol droid, half reptilian made to resemblethe species he worked with, his programming was degraded and he became a criminal, specializing in anticipating the moves of target beings. He has gone from tracking down runaway slaves to claiming bounties posted by Rebo. He comes from a culture that favours bounty hunting as a sport. Though Ozzel found his match in Obo-jon-Potatoe.
He is abhorrent and mean as bounty hunters get. He pulls his blaster towards Obo-jon in the Gos Fisley Cantina, Obo however keeps his cool and slowly draws his blaster under the table. The regulars could have warned Ozzel, Obo-jon was the wrong man to threaten. Only one of them would walk away from the table.
IG-33 is one of a set of five identical robots which massacred their constructors moments are activation, and escaped the laboratories to stalk the galaxy. IG-33's incompletely formed identity leaves it obsessed with hunting and killing. Assassin droids are always hard to control and have long been illegal by the Pioneer Senate for the god reason, since they pose a threat to any and all around them. These robots do not need recharging, so they pose a major threat as they will attack anytime anywhere. Bib McCool has had runins with these assassin droids on many occasions escaping them by the skin of his tongue on many occasions. |
