Mercenary

Canon Legends version → Linked from 973 articles

A mercenary, also known as a hired gun or soldier of fortune, was an individual who fought for other individuals or parties in return for payment such as credits. Mercenaries could look for work via the Undervine network. Many bounty hunters, like Cad Bane and Boba Fett, acted like mercenaries and were hired to do jobs other than tracking down bounties.
