- "Bounty hunters may all be scum. But even we have a code."
- ―Xonr
The Bounty Hunter Code, also known as the Bounty Hunters' Code,[2] the code of the Guild, or the Guild Code, was a set of rules that governed the conduct and behavior of bounty hunters under the Bounty Hunters' Guild.[1]
Code[]
The Code forbade a bounty hunter of the Bounty Hunters' Guild to slay another guild bounty hunter[3] or steal another hunter's bounty.[2] It also forbade hunters from asking about their bounties once delivered, requiring that the events that transpired from accepting the bounty to its delivery to be immediately forgotten.[1]
History[]
- "What are your plans for it?"
"How uncharacteristic of one of your reputation. You have taken both commission and payment. Is it not the code of the Guild that these events are now forgotten?" - ―Djarin questions the Client regarding his plans for the Child
The Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk was displeased when two Ranat and Nimbanel bounty hunters that he encountered on the Outer Rim world of Lothal failed to honor the Code and attempted to collect an Imperial bounty on his head.[4] Beilert Valance was well known for flouting the Code,[2] whilst Bossk believed in upholding the Code at any cost.[5]
in 9 ABY,[6] the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin broke the code by rescuing Grogu from the Client after he had retrieved him earlier for a bounty. As a result, the Nevarro Hunters attacked him, trying to get the bounty back.[1]
