Description: Cad Bane
Prefix: BH
Detachment: Bounty Hunters Guild
Context: Cad Bane: The Bad Batch
Cad Bane continued working as a bounty hunter after the rise of the Galactic Empire. Eventually, he was hired by Kaminoan Prime Minister Lama Su to retrieve a genetically unmodified young female clone of Jango Fett known as Omega. Cad, along with his droid sidekick Todo 360, were successful in tracking down Omega who was under the protection of a special forces clone group known as Clone Force 99. Cad incapacitated the leader, Hunter, in a duel, captured Omega, and then headed to Bora Vio to collect payment. Bane encountered complications in collecting his reward as another bounty hunter hired by a different Kaminoan sabotaged the exchange. A brief battle ensued, and Cad was left without his reward and his bounty.

- GMLs uncertain about an aspect of submitted costume shall post questions in the appropriate DL/GML peer review section of the Legion forum.
- Measurements given in this document are intended to be approximate and generalized; not criteria for approval.
- Requirements for all 501st costumes are proportional to the wearer in scale, fit and size.
- Text descriptions are only one part of the guideline. GMLs and costumers must consider both text and pictures (CRL and Reference) when reviewing the costume.
