The Bounty Hunter Code, also known as the Bounty Hunters' Code, the code of the Guild, or the Guild Code, was a set of rules that governed the conduct and behavior of bounty hunters under the Bounty Hunters' Guild.
The Code forbade a bounty hunter of the Bounty Hunters' Guild to slay another guild bounty hunter or steal another hunter's bounty. It also forbade hunters from asking about their bounties once delivered, requiring that the events that transpired from accepting the bounty to its delivery to be immediately forgotten.
The Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk was displeased when two Ranat and Nimbanel bounty hunters that he encountered on the Outer Rim world of Lothal failed to honor the Code and attempted to collect an Imperial bounty on his head. Beilert Valance was well known for flouting the Code, whilst Bossk believed in upholding the Code at any cost.
in 9 ABY, the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin broke the code by rescuing Grogu from the Client after he had retrieved him earlier for a bounty. As a result, the Nevarro Hunters attacked him, trying to get the bounty back.
