Bossk
a Trandoshan bounty hunter commissioned by Darth Vader to find the
Millennium Falcon. Bossk was known in his early years as a highly-skilled
hunter of Wookiees, and was part of a team that tried to capture a group
of relocated Wookiees on the safeworld of Gandolo IV. He had tracked
Chewbacca there, and he assembled a group of bounty hunters to take
control of the Wookiees. However, through the intervention of Han Solo,
the Wookiees were able to escape while Bossk and his fellow bounty
hunters were left stranded on Gandolo IV. Bossk eventually freed himself,
and vowed to find Chewbacca again. His chance came when Vader sought out
bounty hunters to capture the Falcon, but Boba Fett found the ship before
Bossk did. Bossk and several other bounty hunters tried to intercept Fett
and capture Solo's frozen form. Bossk tried to waylay Slave-I in an
asteroid field, but was nearly blown to bits by Fett's marksmanship.
Later, Bossk failed to capture Lando Calrissian on Keyorin. He was 58
standard years old at the time. Before becoming entangled with Chewbacca,
Bossk was the bounty hunter who shot and killed Hal Horn in the Corellian
System. He was imprisoned by Corran Horn, but was released by Kirtan
Loor. Bossk later became involved with Zekka Thyne, who was released by
the New Republic in an effort to gain information on Coruscant. Bossk was
mortally wounded in a shootout caused by Corran Horn's escape from Thyne
on Coruscant.
