Universal Bounty Hunters Alliance

The Universal Bounty Hunter Alliance (UBA) is a renowned organization that operates as a cooperative entity, encompassing a vast network of bounty hunters across the Universe. With a membership of over 900 million individuals, the UBA collaborates with local law enforcement, Confederations agencies, and military forces to ensure security and provide services in even the most remote corners of the galaxy. While primarily focused on seeking individuals or goods, providing escort and protection, and conducting investigations, the UBA also delves into "grey area" jobs, although it strictly avoids any association with known criminals or underworld figures. However, rumors persist of spies from notorious crime cartels infiltrating the organization, such as Okovi, Icoza, and Ombre.

## History

The Universal Bounty Hunter Alliance (UBA) was founded 147 years ago with the visionary goal of establishing a unified force to combat crime and maintain order across the Universe. The first chairman of the UBA was Marcus Grant, a renowned and highly skilled bounty hunter known for his unwavering dedication to justice. Under Grant's leadership, the UBA began its journey, laying the foundation for what would become one of the most influential organizations in the Universe.

### Expansion and Diplomacy (586 CE - 601 CE)

After Marcus Grant's tenure, the subsequent chairmen played vital roles in shaping the UBA's mission and expanding its reach. Rupert Nolan took the helm as chairman, demonstrating his shrewd negotiation skills, diplomatic prowess, and forward-thinking mindset. During his term, Nolan introduced a groundbreaking concept: guild houses.

Nolan understood the need for bounty hunters to have centralized hubs where they could access information and connect with potential job offerers. These guild houses became key locations for bounty hunters to gather, exchange knowledge, and receive assignments. The concept revolutionized the way bounty hunters operated and created a sense of community within the UBA.

### Reforms and Efficiency (601 CE - 621 CE)

Torvald Magnussen succeeded Rupert Nolan as chairman and brought about significant reforms within the UBA. Renowned for his strategic acumen and innovative thinking, Magnussen aimed to further enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the UBA's bounty hunting endeavors.

Building upon Nolan's guild house concept, Magnussen expanded the system to include other authorized entities as "job offerers." This meant that bounty hunters could now pick up jobs almost anywhere they went, from small remote mining stations in space to space stations and massive cities with numerous bounty boards. The network of job offerers provided a vast array of opportunities for bounty hunters, ensuring a constant flow of assignments.

Additionally, Magnussen introduced a universal system for bounty payouts, streamlining the process and ensuring fairness across the Universe. Bounty hunters could now receive their well-earned rewards promptly and efficiently, regardless of their location or the entity offering the bounty.

To further increase efficiency, Magnussen implemented the "1-hour notice" system, whereby the bounty boards would update every hour, as long as they were connected to the network. This real-time information flow allowed bounty hunters to stay updated on the latest assignments and pursue their targets swiftly.

Magnussen's reforms and innovations laid the groundwork for the UBA's continued growth and success, cementing the organization's position as a leader in the field of intergalactic law enforcement.

### Collaboration, Professionalism, and Gladiatorial Fights (621 CE - 636 CE)

Angus McTwist, a history geek with an adventurous spirit, assumed the role of chairman during this period. McTwist had a unique vision for the UBA, fueled by a desire to gain recognition and fame for the organization while showcasing the capabilities of its bounty hunters. To achieve this, he conceived the idea of introducing gladiatorial fights and broadcasting them to the masses. The event became known as the Bicennial Hunter Masters Championship and was held every ten years to mark the UBA's achievements.

In 624 CE, the inaugural Bicennial Hunter Masters Championship took place in The Compass Constellation, attracting an unprecedented number of spectators from across the Universe. The thrilling battles between skilled bounty hunters captivated the audience, raising the UBA's profile to new heights. The event amassed huge amounts of spectators, solidifying the UBA's reputation as a force to be reckoned with.

Recognizing the importance of collaboration and professionalism, McTwist and his board also implemented training programs to enhance the skills and capabilities of the UBA's members. Their efforts led to a more cohesive and effective organization, ensuring that bounty hunters could work together seamlessly to tackle the challenges they faced in their line of work.

### Turbulent Times and Leadership Change (636 CE - 646 CE)

Lela Bobrovskiy became the chairman, but her board faced a stormy start with rumors circulating about several members' ties to the underworld. Consequently, the board was overthrown a mere three years into their term, resulting in a hasty re-election. Anthony Capri, a member of Bobrovskiy's board, emerged as the new chairman, chosen by the reformed board members. Capri, a charismatic leader, propelled the UBA into new frontiers. He spearheaded the integration of advanced tracking systems and data analysis tools, revolutionizing the way bounty hunters operated.

In the championship held in 644 CE, an incident caused by contestants led to the deaths of six attending bounty hunters and ninety-five spectators. This tragic event shed light on the flaws in the UBA's management of the event, placing blame on Capri's board. After a thorough investigation, it was clear that the board had poorly managed the event, attracting large crowds without implementing adequate safety measures.

Despite the tragic end to Capri's board, they had managed other matters well, and the organization managed to evade excessive bad press by rapidly reacting with the necessary changes. However, Bobrovskiy's board had taken a different approach, decommissioning guild houses and transferring the bounty boards and jobs to private operators. This decision blurred the line between legal and illegal jobs, creating a murky environment for bounty hunters.

### Commitment to Integrity and Justice (646 CE - 664 CE)

Under the visionary leadership of Norris Wilco, the UBA emphasized the importance of ethical practices. Wilco guided the organization in strengthening its commitment to upholding justice and refusing to cooperate with criminals. The UBA earned a reputation for its integrity and reliability under Wilco's chairmanship, ensuring that justice prevailed across the Universe.

Following the investigation and subsequent release of Capri's board, Norris Wilco and his board recognized the need for changes to ensure the safety of attendees in future championships. Under Wilco's leadership, the UBA made significant modifications to the event, introducing new rules and safety protocols.

The championships would now send invitations to every bounty hunter, but the exact location of the event would remain undisclosed until its start. This approach effectively filtered out novices and unwanted individuals, ensuring that only the most skilled and dedicated bounty hunters participated. The UBA aimed to maintain the integrity of the championship while prioritizing the safety of attendees.

### Continued Evolution and Progression (664 CE - 674 CE)

Under the chairmanship of Jack Timbers, the UBA continued to evolve. Timbers and his board members embraced new technologies and strategies to enhance the UBA's effectiveness in combating crime. They focused on modernizing the organization's operations and expanding its reach to even the most remote corners of the Universe.

### Championing Bounty Hunters' Rights and Expansion (674 CE - 701 CE)

Cletus Clay, following the footsteps of his predecessor, served as chairman during this period. Clay and his board members worked towards furthering the UBA's mission in the face of new challenges and opportunities. Clay, known for his progressive thinking, assumed the role of chairman. Clay championed the rights of bounty hunters, advocating for fair compensation and improved working conditions. His tenure witnessed the re-establishment of guild houses and partnerships with businesses, expanding the UBA's influence and resources. When Cletus passed away, his dying wish was to consider his grandson Chuck Clay as his successor. Despite initial reservations from some alliance members, Chuck Clay was elected as the chairman due to his family's legacy and the respect garnered by Cletus. Chuck Clay has since proven to be a steadfast and reliable leader.

### Current Leadership and Legacy (701 CE - Present)

In the year 701 CE, Chuck Clay assumed the role of chairman for the first time. Descended from a lineage deeply rooted in the UBA's history, Chuck Clay carries the weight of his family's legacy. With a steadfast commitment to justice and security, he aims to further the organization's mission, ensuring the safety of even the most remote corners of the Universe. Under his leadership, the UBA continues to evolve, adapt, and protect, upholding the ideals that have made it a formidable force against crime for 147 years.
