Holopuck


Holopucks, which can also be called holographic pucks, data pucks, or even bounty pucks, were compact holographic devices. They were used by the Bounty Hunters' Guild to identify the target of a bounty.

Description

A bounty puck showing The Mythrol.

A holographic image of the bounty's target was displayed on holopucks. The word "WANTED" was also shown in Aurebesh. Along with this, the details of the bounty were listed: the credit amount offered, the reasons for the bounty (or the crimes committed), the operational jurisdiction for the hunt, and the specific conditions for collecting the bounty. When combined with a tracking fob, the information on a puck allowed Guild members to pursue their target across vast distances of the galaxy.

History

The Galactic Empire used holopucks carried by Clone X troopers to maintain a heavily encrypted list of targets.

In 9 ABY, the Guild distributed holopucks to its members on Nevarro. Accepting a puck signified the hunter's acceptance of the bounty.

Behind the scenes

The first appearance of holopucks was in Chapter 1 of The Mandalorian, a Disney+ television series from 2019 that premiered on November 12, 2019. The device was later officially identified as a holopuck in its Databank entry on StarWars.com.
