The Republic Enforcement DataCore functioned as a repository within the Galactic Republic where official bounties were listed, accessible solely to those affiliated with the Bounty Hunters' Guild. As the Clone Wars unfolded, pitting the Republic against the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Republic's investment in law enforcement diminished, resulting in an increase in the number of criminal bounties available. Consequently, Hunters belonging to the Guild gained access to a plethora of high-value targets, including Separatist leaders like Count Dooku, Asajj Ventress, and General Grievous.
