Max Pierce was a Corellian Security ("CorSec") Officer before he was captured by Trandoshan slavers. He was sold into slavery and for eight years was forced to work for the Galactic Empire. Max eventually escaped and made his way back to civilization. Max created a new identity as a bounty hunter, mostly hunting down slavers and protecting those who could not defend themselves. His reputation soon grew, and he became one of the most hated and feared men in the The Galaxy. No contract was too small, but his targets often fulfilled a sense of justice for him.
