Description: Aurra Sing, The Phantom Menace
Prefix: BH
Detachment: Bounty Hunters Guild
Context: Star Wars Episode I

Aurra Sing is one of the most powerful and ruthless bounty hunters in the galaxy. Skilled in the use of telekinesis and possessing force abilities such as speed and agility, Aurra was once a Jedi Padawan. Feeling they had abandoned her, Aurra left the Jedi Order, developing a great hatred of Jedi. Aurra is a highly skilled lightsaber duelist and markswoman, specializing in Jedi and political bounties.


For 501st membership, only the requirements in black need to be met.

The Bounty Hunters’ Guild defines an additional optional level of costuming excellence. In the page below, requirements for Level 2, referred to as “Infamous”, are listed in blue. These optional requirements are meant for those who strive to meet the highest level of screen accuracy. Please visit the BHG web site for a full description of these standards.
