"Is that a bounty puck? Is that me?"
―The Mythrol, to Din Djarin[4]

Holopucks,[5] also known as holographic pucks,[6] data pucks,[2] or referred to as bounty pucks,[1] were a small, simple holographic device utilized by the Bounty Hunters' Guild that identified a quarry.

Description

Bounty puck

Holopucks displayed a holographic image of the quarry accompanied by the word "WANTED" in Aurebesh as well as listing the details of a bounty: the amount of credits offered, the circumstances (or crimes) that warranted the bounty, the operational jurisdiction allowed for pursuit, and the specific conditions required to collect. [6] A puck provided information that when combined with the use of a tracking fob, allowed Guild members to hunt their quarry to the edge of the galaxy.[5]

History

The Galactic Empire maintained a highly encrypted target register that was listed on holopucks carried by Clone X troopers.[2]

In 9 ABY,[7] the Guild on Nevarro handed holopucks out to their members. By taking the puck, the hunter accepted the bounty.[1]
