"Crimson Bounty" represents a concise narrative collaboratively authored by Charlene Newcomb alongside Rich Handley. Its initial appearance occurred within the pages of Star Wars Adventure Journal 14, brought to publication by West End Games during August of 1997.
Crimson Bounty serves as a follow-up to the events of A Certain Point of View.
The original setting was designated as 0 ABY, but internal textual indicators referencing a two-year interval following the incidents aboard the Kuari Princess as depicted in A Certain Point of View necessitate a revised placement of this story within the timeline, specifically at 2 ABY.
