Female Bounty Hunter in The Old Republic

In Star Wars: The Old Republic you are able to take on the role of a Bounty Hunter, greedy selfish guns for hire who are more than happy to put a price on life and death and don’t care

who gets hurt as long as the credits are paid at the end of a job. Although the sith empire usually only works with those who are a part of the empire when it comes to good bounty hunters who get the job done exceptions can be made.

Bounty hunters understand that there is no such thing as trust in the galaxy and will work for anybody as long as there are credits available. Bounty hunters live a lonely existence working for the highest bidder and knowing that if the job isn’t completed the next bounty is likely to be on there own head.

Bounty hunters utilize strong heavy armor to protect against incoming damage and bring strong weapons to the field including a vast array of interesting gadgets just in case things start to go wrong. Preparation is key with a bounty hunter, using a jet pack to rise high above the field of battle in order to strike where the most damage can be done.
