Description: Boushh
Prefix: BH
Detachment: Bounty Hunters Guild
Context: Star Wars Episode VI, Return of the Jedi
Boushh was a male Ubese known for being a formidable bounty hunter, some say second only to Boba Fett himself, with loyalty to no single employer. Eventually he ran afoul of the Black Sun crime syndicate, which resulted in his untimely death. Taking advantage of the lack of publicity of the bounty hunter's demise, Princess Leia Organa obtained and used his armor as part of a daring attempt to infiltrate Jabba the Hutt's palace and rescue Han Solo.
