Thune (bounty hunter)

Thune was a Human female bounty hunter who owned and operated the starship Faceted. As a youth, she had hoped to one day enroll in the Imperial Academy and serve the Galactic Empire with honor, but her hopes were dashed as she was continually passed over in favor of men. Disillusioned, she became an unscrupulous bounty hunter, surrounding herself with a crew and equipping the Faceted with highly advanced technologies. Thune took several bounties for the Galactic Empire, and after killing Alderaanian businessman Deckland Carper, she inherited his protocol droid, U-THR. She did her utmost to make sure that no record was kept of her past or her movements, and made sure to dress in a casual, unassuming fashion, setting her apart from her more recognizable contemporaries.

During the Galactic Civil War, Thune was enlisted by Dominic Raynor to capture or kill Lando Calrissian, the Baron Administrator of Cloud City, Bespin. Raynor was the former Baron Administrator, and had lost the title recently in a game of sabacc. After several unsuccessful attempts on Calrissian's life, Thune was able to corner him on Quilken, but was later outwitted, and forced to hunt down Raynor instead. She then took out Imperial contracts on Treytis Prash and another on Celia Durasha, both wanted for their involvement with the Alliance to Restore the Republic. At the same time, she hoped to claim a bounty issued by Bwahl the Hutt on the head of Kaj Nedmak, who owed the Hutt money. During the operation, U-THR rebelled against Thune and she was defeated, with the Faceted falling into Durasha's and Nedmak's hands.
