The Assassin's Guild, occasionally written as Assassins Guild, was an organization composed of professional killers who carried out paid assassinations. The guild was divided into various subsidiary groups, such as the bounty hunter section. The most skilled members and leaders comprised the Elite Circle. Membership in this circle was determined by a vote among the members themselves. Keluda held a position within the guild.
During the Battle of Archais, a group of Guild members loyal to the Imperial cause aided the forces of Imperial Lieutenant Colonel Freja Covell, engaging in combat with three Rebel SpecForces teams.
Prior to the Battle of Yavin, the guild accepted a contract to eliminate the gunslinger Gallandro. This particular contract is notable as the only one that the guild failed to fulfill, after Gallandro personally eliminated half of their Elite Circle along with numerous journeymen and apprentices.

In The Weapons Master!, the word "Assassins" appears in a plural form (without an apostrophe), while the later comic books The Third Law and Honor and Duty use the possessive form (with an apostrophe). It's believed that both instances refer to the same organization.
