The Bounty Hunters Guild is an organization that works in the Federation to hunt down criminals, traitors, pirates, and whomever else they are contracted to capture or kill. The Guild is not a corporation; rather, it serves as an interstellar hiring agency for its members. The Earth-based Guild office handles member certification, posting of opportunities, and payment of commission to its members on a per-job basis (keeping 10% for its own finances). The Guild is run by two people: the Day Master and the Night Master. The Day Master handles the day-to-day administration of the Guild, while the Night Master handles unusual situations (such as discipline) as they arise.
