Mercenary

Legends Canon version → Linked from 1,593 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A mercenary (merc for short), sometimes also called soldier of fortune, hired gun, or free lance, was a soldier who fought or worked in other ways (mostly in those involving violence) for any faction in exchange for a desirable amount of money.

Sometimes, the word mercenary was used as a derogatory term for someone who valued credits over other things, such as ideals or kinship.
