PLEASE NOTE!!! The Bounty Hunters' Guild is not an official group with its own forum on SW-Fans.net, but an IC collection of bounty hunters and mercenaries re-formed from the ashes of the old EU Guild, which fragmented during the last year of Palpatine's reign.

- "It may be hard to convince some that paying into a Guild is in their best interest. As leader I would have to be able to trust my second implicitly. The clans would have to be set in place again, as well, or at least brought back into the fold. It will be a lot of work."
- ―Ecks
The Bounty Hunters' Guild is an ancient institution that regulates the bounty-hunting trade. It is led by a guildmaster who holds members to the Bounty Hunters' Creed, the unwritten rules of the bounty hunters. Its rules are the laws that keeps bounty hunters together; but the guild is full of loose cannons, who will often break the rules for their own benefit. The guild is more a coalition of the professionals than a proper organization, and rivalries between its branches are a common occurrence. The bounty hunters who join the guild have the benefit of notifications of bounty postings before they are broadcasted through official channels, which give guild members a head start. Many Empire agents prefer to deal exclusively with guild bounty hunters.

Bounty Hunters' Creed
|
| Main Article: Bounty Hunters' Creed
While the average Imperial citizen may have found the codes objectionable, and even morally offensive, they served as a loosely defined set of enforceable principles by which hunters conducted their trade and lived out their lives.
- NO Bounty Is Worth Dying For
- People Don't Have Bounties, Only Acquisitions Have Bounties.
- Capture By Design, Kill By Necessity.
- No Hunter Shall Slay Another Hunter
- No Hunter Shall Interfere With Another's Hunt.
- In the Hunt One captures or Kills, Never Both.
- No Hunter Shall Refuse Aid to Another Hunter.

Structure of the Guild
|
| The Bounty Hunters' Guild is nominally a democracy: it is lead by a Guild Master, and has a Guild Council in which any member has an equal vote - if they chose to attend the meetings. The leader can overrule votes, if he has good reason to, otherwise whatever motion has most votes gets passed. Only the Bounty Hunter's Creed cannot be changed by vote - unless all (existing, not simply present) Guild members call for it.
If the Guild Master is unable to attend or lead, for whatever reason, his second-in-command has the right to act in his stead.
The Guild also has various Guild Lieutenants; each of these is dealing with a specialised form of bounty, and Guild members can chose to join these lieutenants if they want. The Lieutenants represent the "group" at Council meetings. The Guild master is under obligation - once such a specialised group comes to exist - to pass suitable bounties on to the lieutenant who will then chose a hunter himself or give the hunters in his group a choice.
