Under the New Republic, bounty hunters themselves often at odds with the new government, as many of them had worked for the Empire against the Rebellion. While some worked for the New Republic to receive pardons, others continued to be employed by Imperial remnants driven underground following the Battle of Jakku. The upheaval in the galactic underworld also disrupted the profession.
