Both of them were injured in the fight , and Baraduk escaped Galasett . Galasett developed a personal hatred toward Baraduk . Biography . Galasett , a Kerestian male , was an old friend of Reglis Taal . Taal ' s brother , Philo , was brutally murdered by two bounty hunters who believed him to be a wanted criminal ; if they had checked their sources , they would have known that there was no bounty on Philo ' s head . Nineteen - year - old Taal tracked and killed the bounty hunters himself . Galasett , knowing of his friend ' s story , decided that it was unfair and that someone should deal with overzealous bounty hunters ; those who exceeded in their job to the point of breaking the law . Galasett decided to do so himself , becoming a bounty hunter to track other bounty hunters . Although the Bounty Hunters ' Creed prohibited this situation , it did not apply if there was a bounty on the head of the prey . Galasett then started tracking outlaw bounty hunters and capturing them . He became a vigilante for his colleagues . During his career , he was fined for damaging the environment and was also sent to jail for a short time , for hunting in an area where it was forbidden to do so . At one point , Galasett discovered that the Barabel bounty hunter , Baraduk , was technically a fugitive slave — albeit pardoned — and that Baraduk sometimes worked as a bodyguard for figures of organized crime . Labeling Baraduk as an outlaw hunter , Galasett fought the Barabel while he was working for a criminal . During this first encounter , Baraduk , an expert in night attacks due to his natural infrared vision , took his chance to attack Galasett from darkness . They both were severely wounded in the encounter , but Baraduk managed to leave the planet . Personality and traits . Galasett dispised bounty hunters that had broken the law . He tracked them eagerly and sometimes causing great collateral damage . Whenever he found proof of a bounty hunter committing a crime , Galasett quickly acted so that a bounty on the hunter ' s head could be posted , and then the Kerestian tried to capture his victim before the other hunter even knew someone wanted him . After his first encounter with Baraduk , Galasett developed a hatred for the Barabel — and vice versa . Both hunters expected to meet again at a later point and fight until one of them was dead . Equipment . Galasett carried several weapons , including a heavy blaster pistol , a blaster rifle , a neurostaff , a knife and several grenades , including a thermal detonator . His less offensive gear included a comlink , a datapad , a glowrod , a medpac and syntherope . He also wore a suit of customized armor . Behind the scenes . Galasett was mentioned in several sections of the roleplaying book " " ( 1994 ) , by Rick D . Stuart , including an image of Galasett by Mike Vilardi . One of these listed his role - playing stats and a comprehensive list of the gear he carried with him . Most of the other bounty hunters in the book are specified to have an Imperial Peace Keeping Certificate ( or " bounty hunter permit " ) , except for Galasett , Baraduk , Reglis Taal and Dengar . Nine years later , Galasett was listed as one of the example names for Kerestian characters in " Ultimate Alien Anthology " . Galasett was also given an entry in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " ( 2008 ) .
