Bounty hunter

Bounty hunters, also known as hounds, are individuals or teams who have been hired by an organization to track down and capture (or eliminate) specific targets for a reward. Most operate within the realms of legality, being hired by government organizations and nations under the Coalition of Congressional Republics to apprehend criminals; however, others may receive assignments that exist within a grey area, blurring the line between bounty hunters and assassins or hired muscle.
Most bounty hunters operate within the Frontier, working for local colonial due to the area's disconnection from the Core and the rapid response of Coalition law enforcement. However, many still operate within the Periphery, and a few exist even in the Core on worlds such as Hyperion and Earth, navigating the maze-like megalopoli of the worlds to find their bounties. In the Coalition, bounty hunters often operate independently; a few bounty hunter organizations nevertheless exist as corporate entities, such as the Salus Consulting and Interception Group (SCIG), selling their "criminal interception" services to the highest governmental bidder.
