GenoHaradan The GenoHaradan was a secret bounty hunter guild that manipulated galactic political events through assassination . History . Xim the Despot created the GenoHaradan as a sort of secret police , using it to eliminate his most powerful enemies and rivals . Even with its agents under his complete control , however , Xim was defeated after a mere 30 years at the Third Battle of Vontor during the Hutt – Xim conflict . It was believed that the GenoHaradan died with him , and this is the point at which common knowledge of the ancient guild ends . In actuality , the GenoHaradan merely disappeared from the public eye and reshaped its existence . Without a governing body to defer to , the Guildmasters hired their agents to the highest bidders , becoming a powerful assassination tool for the wealthy and ambitious . Centuries passed , and the GenoHaradan slowly reshaped further . Its leadership realized that some individuals and governments were more beneficial to the guild than others , and it gradually learned to discriminate between those it sold its services to . The guild was evolving a sense of self - interest and becoming an influential faction in its own right . To balance the power of this new identity , it was decided to divide leadership among four Overseers instead of a single Guildmaster . The foremost of those the GenoHaradan saw as beneficial was the Galactic Republic since the end of the Tionese War in which Tion presumably became the capital . The Republic ' s democratic system of succession presented the GenoHaradan a stable entity with which to work , and its democratic system of representation presented them a wealth of corruptible bureaucrats . In time , the GenoHaradan would work almost exclusively for the Republic , operating in the shadows and quietly doing the government ' s dirty work , even without the government ' s knowledge , profiting from the secret relationship all the while . It was a perfect symbiosis . The Galactic Republic would grow to become the foremost power of the galaxy , and those few who knew of the GenoHaradan would attribute this growth almost exclusively to the guild ' s involvement . Organization . Secrecy was the GenoHaradan ' s prime concern ; its power derived from shaping events through peripheral actions . As such , its bounty hunters , while perceiving themselves as more skilled than their contemporaries , strove to remain in obscurity and never attained the fame of hunters such as Calo Nord . A GenoHaradan agent ' s objective was not only to eliminate the target , but to eliminate the target in such a way that it would seem the agent had no involvement whatsoever in the death or disappearance . Since this left agents with no ability to produce proof of their success , other agents would be assigned to monitor them and report results to superiors . To most , the guild was entirely unknown , and any who attempted to betray the group ' s existence would have generally been derided as a crackpot conspiracy theorist . The idea that the Republic had only survived so long because of a secret society keeping it alive sounded fantastical , and the GenoHaradan relied on this doubt to maintain its anonymity . Still , a handful of government leaders and perceptive Jedi did learn of the GenoHaradan , and this was how the guild found bounties — when it wasn ' t determining its own targets . Whenever the GenoHaradan transformed into a faction with its own interests , the power of its Guildmaster increased ; guild leadership was becoming much more than a simple go - between for elite bounty hunters and rich customers . The GenoHaradan governing system was therefore reformed : it became led by a cabal of four Overseers . Like anything else in the GenoHaradan , the Overseer system relied on secrecy . The four Overseers would consult with each other on all guild business , but they did so through agents and messengers so as to protect each Overseers ' identity . In this way , the individual ambitions of all four Overseers would serve to balance each other out , theoretically resulting in the overall best interest of the GenoHaradan . The method for choosing and replacing an Overseer was a complicated process that required ensuring each candidate ' s anonymity ; other than this , details of the process were unknown . Fate . 3 , 956 years before the Battle of Yavin , the four Overseers of the GenoHaradan were Hulas the Rodian , Vorn Daasraad the Gamorrean , Rulan Prolik the ( possible ) shapeshifter , and Ithorak Guldar the Selkath . Of course , since all Overseers kept their identities secret , no one knew this information - no one except Hulas . Hoping to become sole commander of the GenoHaradan , a position that had not been taken since the days of the Guildmasters , Hulas spied and worked to uncover the identities of his peers ; having succeeded , he lacked only a means to eliminate them from the picture . This means presented itself when Calo Nord was killed by a powerful but relatively obscure Jedi . Not realizing this man was the infamous Revan , Hulas invited the mind - wiped Jedi to meet with him personally on Manaan , at which point he attempted to recruit Revan into the GenoHaradan . Hulas undoubtedly intended to have Revan kill his fellow Overseers as common criminals , leaving Hulas the sole head of the GenoHaradan . Revan did not accept any of Hulas ' s initiation bounties , assassination being a morally questionable act . Hulas did not believe he could have found an alternative agent capable of defeating the other three Overseers and Revan refused , so all his work in uncovering their identities may have very well been fruitless . However , other sources point out that Revan accepted all of the bounties , assuming they were dangerous criminals that made their choices and decided to take care of them . Eventually after Revan killed all of them , Hulas confronted him with several bounty hunters backing him up , explaining that he set him up . Despite being outnumbered , Revan defeated all of them with relative ease . In 3641 BBY , the GenoHaradan attempted to capture the Grand Champion of the Great Hunt , who was falsely labeled the Republic ' s Most Wanted , capturing Torian Cadera to lure their prey into a trap on Hoth . Despite also being outnumbered , the bounty hunter swiftly managed to kill the entire squad of GenoHaradan . In the later stages of the Galactic War , the GenoHaradan tipped off Supreme Chancellor Leontyne Saresh regarding the Hutt Cartel recruiting dangerous mercenaries on Darvannis . Saresh would later contract the GenoHaradan to assassinate Sith Empress Darth Acina and The Outlander as part of an attempted coup to take over The Alliance , only for the two to survive . The GenoHaradan continued to exist at least until the final decades of the Galactic Republic . Tac - Spec Corporation , a droid manufacturer that operated into the last few centuries of the Old Republic , claimed to have originated as a GenoHaradan front - company . Their exclusive automata for the Republic ' s aristocracy , such as the FIII Footman droid , would have been ideal agents for the organization ' s policy of subtly influencing Galactic politics . Behind the scenes . Hulas claims that the GenoHaradan were created 5 , 000 years before the Galactic Republic ( 30 , 000 BBY ) , but Xim the Despot ' s reign began at only 25 , 130 BBY , so this founding year is not possible unless the GenoHaradan existed thousands of years before Xim ' s time . In a series of dark side quests in " " , Revan can take part in assassinating dangerous elements to the Galactic Republic on behalf of the GenoHaradan . He had to eliminate various targets on Manaan , Tatooine , Kashyyyk and Dantooine ( if the planet had not been razed previously ) . Revan receives an automatic dark side shift upon the death of any of his targets , regardless of whether the target is actually evil or whether the target attacks Revan without provocation . In the case of the shapeshifter , Revan merely has to present proof that he is not who he appears to be , and has in fact killed the Wookiee hunter he is impersonating . The shapeshifter immediately attacks . The award for each successful hit is a powerful and advanced piece of equipment . If the player chooses to accept the assassination missions , Revan eventually learns that Hulas had tricked him into killing the other leaders of the GenoHaradan , giving him sole control . The player then has the option to kill Hulas on Tatooine for his betrayal . The GenoHaradan had a part in the sequel to " Knights of the Old Republic " , " " , in which one chapter of the GenoHaradan was hunted down ( and presumably killed ) by Meetra Surik and her party on Nar Shaddaa , but it was one of the many things that were cut from the game . See for more information on the cut parts of the GenoHaradan .
