House Tresario House Tresario was an organization of bounty hunters founded in 8 BBY by former officers of the Imperial Navy to track down pirates . When they discovered that it was a profitable venture , they officially created a chapter of the Bounty Hunters ' Guild , specializing in Imperial bounties on raiders and in bounties exceeding 14 , 999 credits . During the Galactic Civil War , House Tresario was a new bounty hunter chapter , not as influential as others , but still profitable . It retained links with active Imperial officers , and was opposed by privateers affiliated to the Alliance to Restore the Republic . Funding of House Tresario came from Vigo Clezo of Black Sun . House Tresario had a rivalry with House Benelex , another active bounty hunter chapter . Organization . House Tresario , sometimes known as House Tresario Bounty Hunters Guild , was a corporation of bounty hunters . Tresario employed a number of professional , licensed hunters , accepted Imperial bounty postings , and then paired one of its hunter , or several hunters , with each bounty . It was one of the chapters of the Bounty Hunters ' Guild during the Galactic Civil War . House Tresario was specifically founded to track space pirates that harassed the Imperial Navy . In time , they modified their activities to accept simply any bounty greater than 15 , 000 credits , no matter the charges against the fugitive . Even then , House Tresario still specialized in Imperial contracts on raiders . Tresario ' s hunters operated through all the space controlled by the Galactic Empire , but a 22 % of their activities took place either in the Core Worlds or in surrounding areas . The main headquarters of the House were on the planet Baradas II , in the Colonies A prospective member wanting to join House Tresario had to be sponsored by two or more bounty hunters already belonging to House Tresario . A member of the House had to pay 1 , 000 credits to the House as an annual fee , plus an 8 % of the net value of any obtained bounty . In exchange , House Tresario would provide the members with employment and with training in their area of specialization . The so - called Tresario hunter - improvement programs were mocked by House Benelex , a rival bounty hunter chapter , as this training was perceived as useless . History . Rovan Tresario , a charismatic aristocrat and officer in the Imperial Navy , was angered at the problem posed by pirates . He retired from the Navy , joined other former Imperial officers who shared his dislike , and together , hired a number of bounty hunters to track a number of pirates whom they personally hated . The pirates were captured , and Tresario and his partners even obtained a profit . They decided to continue with this activity and go after bigger bounties every year . In 8 BBY , House Tresario was officially founded by Rovan Tresario and the other ex - Imperial officers . Seven years later , House Tresario was considered a new , expanding House with moderate influence through the Empire . Rovan Tresario was still the CEO of the House . At that time , they used the services of 9 , 659 non - hunting members for management tasks , plus 1 , 767 bounty hunters , including former warden Garim Ayrvn . Ayrvn had made a specific deal with House Tresario to obtain help and equipment in exchange for an important share of any bounty he could obtain , instead of paying the usual annual fee and gap . Around that time , House Tresario was mentioned in a report by Commander Scay Danson of Imperial Security Bureau about the Bounty Hunter ' s Guild and other fringe activities . During these years , House Tresario found a rival in another bounty hunter chapter , House Benelex . Corvastan Benelex publicly ridiculed Tresario ' s training activities and called it a social club . House Tresario in turn disapproved the Inquisitorius and considered that Benelex should not profit from tracking targets of Legal Authorization for Advanced Confinement Document s , an " ad hoc " legal instrument to convict the enemies of the Inquisition even without charges . In 4 ABY , House Tresario was at least partially funded by the Rodian crime lord Clezo , one of the Vigo s in the Black Sun criminal organization . Clezo was known to fund other organizations of bounty hunters at that point , as well as being involved in many criminal activities Having been founded by Imperial officers , House Tresario retained important links to the Imperial Navy , and hunted pirates for the benefit of the Empire . During the Galactic Civil War , the anti - Imperial Alliance to Restore the Republic used the services of pirates as privateers , and these buccaneers became natural enemies of the Imperial bounty hunters . Considering that House Tresario was specialized in working for the Empire , not infrequently against Alliance members , Tresario was added to the list of legitimate target for Alliance privateers , the Alliance Target List . However , only the best among the Alliance privateers were courageous enough to attack starships and assets of a bounty hunter house . Behind the scenes .
