Crimson Nova

The Crimson Nova was a chapter of the Bounty Hunters' Guild specialized in hunting Jedi. The Crimson Nova had been operation prior to and during the Clone Wars, and was considered one of the most powerful. The Crimson Nova operated out of The Rig, a space station in the Stenness Node.

During the Clone Wars, the leader of the Crimson Nova, a Farghul named Mika, was approached by Kh'aris Fenn, who offered bounties on members of the Jedi Order. Prior to this meeting, when a Human named Stroth had been in charge, the Crimson Nova had steered clear of the Jedi Knights. However, Mika sanctioned these Jedi bounties, which led to a devastating attack on Jedi on Null. This caught the attention of Jedi Master Mace Windu. Windu, along with Masters Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin and Agen Kolar, disbanded the chapter after they refused to cooperate.

This chapter also included Aurra Sing; she later gave the Jedi information that helped lead to Crimson Nova in return for being released from Oovo IV.

Crimson Nova eventually resurfaced under Mika's lead after she returned from a stint in prison. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Nova members Breela (Mika's daughter), Boushh and Zuckuss tracked down and engaged the fugitive Jedi Master Kai Justiss on Garqi.
