Biography . A new breed of bounty hunter . Osss - 10 was a male individual who became a bounty hunter during the time of the Galactic Civil War . Osss - 10 entered the bounty hunting profession following the breakup of the ancient Bounty Hunters ' Guild , which had regulated the bounty hunting trade , in 0 ABY . One of a new breed of independent bounty hunters who became active in the aftermath of the Guild ' s collapse , Osss - 10 equipped himself with state - of - the - art equipment , including a starship fitted with advanced technology to predict the actions of his adversaries , which led the hunt saboteur N ' dru Suhlak to suspect that Osss - 10 was being funded by a wealthy backer . By 4 ABY , Osss - 10 had had a number of encounters with Suhlak , in which Osss - 10 demonstrated his prowess as a bounty hunter and came out on top on each occasion . Encounter with Boba Fett . Around the time of the Battle of Endor , Kuat of Kuat , the leader of the renowned shipyard Kuat Drive Yards , sent out word that he wanted the bounty hunter Boba Fett intercepted and preferably killed . Kuat sought to have him eliminated , as Fett had gained information about a plot by Kuat to frame Prince Xizor of the Black Sun crime syndicate for the deaths of the Jedi Luke Skywalker ' s aunt and uncle . Many bounty hunters thus began searching for Fett , and Osss - 10 was among those who joined the hunt . Fett set out for the planet Tatooine on a mission to recover a spy droid that contained evidence of Kuat ' s effort to frame Xizor . In an attempt to arrive on the desert world unhindered by the bounty hunters searching for him , Fett hired N ' dru Suhlak to transport him to Tatooine . Fett and Suhlak arrived in the Tatoo system aboard Suhlak ' s modified Z - 95 Headhunter and set a course for Tatooine . Osss - 10 detected the Headhunter using his starship ' s advanced detection capabilities and scanned Suhlak ' s ship from a distance , seeking to obtain enough data on its movements to enable him to predict the Headhunter ' s path and speed . Osss - 10 then moved in to attack the Headhunter and opened fire , with his shots striking Suhlak ' s ship ' s exterior hull . Suhlak veered his Headhunter off on a different course to evade the bounty hunter , but Osss - 10 foresaw Suhlak ' s move and maneuvered his ship to intercept the Headhunter . With a ruse that Osss - 10 had not predicted , Fett took to the controls of Suhlak ' s vessel and flew toward Osss - 10 ' s ship at full speed . Forced to veer off - course in order to avoid a collision , Osss - 10 flew his ship at full thrust toward the Headhunter , firing at it with his laser cannon as he passed it and zooming out of range of the Headhunter . Having outsmarted Osss - 10 , Fett and Suhlak then safely landed on Tatooine , where Fett successfully recovered the spy droid that he sought . Personality and traits . Osss - 10 was a skilled bounty hunter who specialized in defeating his opponents by predicting their moves and outsmarting them . N ' dru Suhlak considered Osss - 10 to be a better bounty hunter than most of the hunters of the defunct Bounty Hunters ' Guild . Osss - 10 also had a talent for computer programming , which he used to program the onboard computers on his starship . During his encounter with Boba Fett and N ' dru Suhlak in the Tatoo system , Osss - 10 was confident that he could predict Suhlak ' s course of action and that the pair could not escape him . However , he failed to predict Fett ' s actions and was therefore unsuccessful at defeating them . Equipment . Osss - 10 possessed state - of - the - art equipment and a customized starship fitted with computers programmed with predictive algorithm s , which the bounty hunter used to predict the courses of action of his adversaries . The algorithms drew upon an operational database recording the results of Osss - 10 ' s confrontations with his targets , and the more battles that Osss - 10 had , the better the database became at predicting his opponents ' moves . The vessel had a set of laser cannons located on its prow and was also equipped with a multi - frequency scanning and lock - on device that could scan other starships from a long distance away . Behind the scenes . Osss - 10 was created by author K . W . Jeter for the 1999 novel " Hard Merchandise " , the third installment of " The Bounty Hunter Wars " trilogy .
