IG-88 is seen observing posted bounties.
The designation bounty was used to describe a reward that was offered in return for capturing someone, or sometimes for their death. Individuals who earned their living collecting these bounties were known as bounty hunters.
Furthermore, the term "bounty" could also be used to refer to the specific person who was being hunted, the target for whom the reward was being offered. These bounties could be presented directly to a hunter or advertised through the Hunter Net.
Around the period of the Battle of Scarif, a reward was announced for the capture of Mon Mothma, who was the Chancellor of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
Jabba the Hutt eventually grew so frustrated with Han Solo that he offered a bounty of 224,190 credits for his capture. Luke Skywalker once had a bounty placed on him by the Galactic Empire for 60,000 credits, due to his role in destroying the Death Star. This annoyed Han Solo, as it was higher than his own Imperial bounty, which was 50,000 credits at the time.
After the Battle of Yavin, the Galactic Empire set a bounty of 10,000,000 credits for the capture of Princess Leia Organa.
In the time leading up to the First Order-Resistance War, the First Order offered a bounty of 20,000 credits for two runaway children from Tehar.
