For this reason , he ran afoul of the New Republic Intelligence Service , who put out a warrant for his arrest as soon as they discovered his nefarious activities . Biography . Tyrn Jiton , a male Devaronian , was born on the planet Fenves in 20 BBY . Having expensive tastes as an adult — including gambling — he became a bounty hunter during the time of the Galactic Empire so that he could earn enough money to satisfy his penchants . Jiton affiliated himself with the Bounty Hunters ' Guild , an ancient institution that dominated the bounty hunting profession , and as a hunter , he was known to be selective about the targets he tracked . At some point , the tip of his left horn was severed . Jiton ' s taste for gambling led to loosing fortunes of wealth on seven different occasions , which earned him a reputation within the Bounty Hunters ' Guild as an oddball and he received a mention in the Guilds ' handbook , in a passage by the hunter Arack Dostryt . After the creation of the New Republic in 4 ABY , Jiton was active in the Borderland Regions , an area of the galaxy bordering both Imperial and Republic space . During this time , he kidnapped agents of the New Republic and sold them to the Empire . Jiton also kidnapped other individuals to sell to either the Empire or crime lords , achieving remarkable success at this task . The New Republic did know that a bounty hunter was behind these kidnappings , but they were unaware of the hunter ' s identity until they captured an Imperial Star Destroyer . General Airen Cracken of the New Republic Intelligence Service then composed a detailed report on Jiton . He also issued a warrant for his arrest on charges of theft , kidnapping and murder , and offered a 12 , 000 bounty on Jiton . Following the issuing of Cracken ' s report , Jiton piloted a " Firespray - 31 " - class patrol and attack craft and was considered dangerous . Circa 7 ABY , the Devaronian escaped from New Republic agents and was seen in the Gantonnerre system before disappearing from Cracken ' s sights . Personality and traits . Jiton used his bounty hunting career as a means to support his lifestyle of high - stakes gambling and jamboree , which commonly included illegal activities . When hunting , he preferred stealth and ambush over direct confrontation with his target , to the point that his prey was frequently unaware of Jiton ' s presence . Whenever Jiton was asked to kill , he took pride in using only one shot to eliminate the target . Jiton was a non - Force - sensitive Devaronian who could be identified because he had lost the tip of his left horn . He had honed several of his skills , including tracking , repairing technology , and piloting . He was also a proficient brawler . At some point between 2 ABY and 7 ABY , he also increased his ability to hide . Equipment . During the years of the Empire , Jiton used both a blaster pistol and a blaster rifle , as well as grenades , a thermal detonator , a combat knife , and a neurostaff . He wore partial armor and carried with him syntherope and a comlink . His gear also included MCI - 100 MagnaCuffs and a MCI - 200 magnaharness , but he stopped using those two items after the Battle of Endor . Behind the scenes . Tyrn Jiton was first mentioned in " Wanted by Cracken " ( 1993 ) , a role playing sourcebook for West End Games ' " " , which detailed enemies of the New Republic . The book included an image of Jiton drawn by Rob Caswell . Jiton was later mentioned again in " " ( 1994 ) , set during the reign of the Galactic Empire , and in 2008 he received an entry in the compendium " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " . The character was subsequently further developed by the 2013 book " " . This second book provided a new portrait of Jiton , this time by David Plunkett , and updated role - playing game statistics that specified his skills . However , the changes from " Wanted by Cracken " to " Galaxy Guide 10 " reduced his ability to parry brawling attacks , something very uncommon following the rules of the role - playing game .
