Bounty Contract Week is one of the three main events in Star Wars: The Old Republic. It is a recurring event involving the Bounty Brokers Association that takes place on planets throughout the galaxy. It is designed for characters level 15+. Participating in the event raises a player's reputation with the BBA. The event runs every few weeks based on the event calendar. The first event started on 13 Aug 2013.
Lore[]
| “ | Once per Galactic Standard Month, the Bounty Brokers Association (BBA) posts a list of contracts in the Cartel Bazaar section of the Fleet. Each contract outlines the parameters of a bounty that has been posted on one of many planets across the galaxy, including contact information for the client who posted the bounty and a list of underworld contacts in the sector who may be persuaded to assist you in the hunt. Targets include members of crime syndicates, violent gangs, and various other law-breaking entities. High-profile targets, designated "Kingpins," may only be hunted through Kingpin Contracts, which are entrusted to professionals who have a proven track record with the BBA. | „ |

Missions[]
There are 16 targets in total, eight crime lords and eight henchmen, which can be found in the planets listed below. Each planet has one crime lord and five possible henchmen (you will only go after one henchman each time you take a normal bounty contract).
Normal bounty contracts[]
[55D] Bounty Contract: Ord Mantell
[55D] Bounty Contract: Hutta
[55D] Bounty Contract: Coruscant
[55D] Bounty Contract: Dromund Kaas
[55D] Bounty Contract: Nar Shaddaa
[55D] Bounty Contract: Tatooine
[55D] Bounty Contract: Alderaan
[55D] Bounty Contract: Voss
Note: The Hutta and Ord Mantell contracts used to be restricted to characters at level 28 and below, however this restriction was removed in Patch 7.5.1b.
Kingpin Contracts[]
While normal bounty contracts have players go after the henchmen, Kingpin Contracts have players go after the crime lords. Unlocking a Kingpin Contract requires 5 Completed Bounty Contracts. Since Kingpin Contracts are weekly missions, it is best to have at least eight characters in a server and send them to each of the eight planets. Each character can complete one normal bounty contract and one Kingpin Contract per day, but cannot take both contracts for the same location.
[55W] Ord Mantell: Kingpin Bounty
[55W] Hutta: Kingpin Bounty
[55W] Coruscant: Kingpin Bounty
[55W] Dromund Kaas: Kingpin Bounty
[55W] Nar Shaddaa: Kingpin Bounty
[55W] Tatooine: Kingpin Bounty
[55W] Alderaan: Kingpin Bounty
[55W] Voss: Kingpin Bounty
Capturing targets alive[]
For each mission, you are provided with a Carbonite Grenade to capture targets alive. While henchmen can be frozen at below 10% health, crime lords can only be frozen at below 5% health, making them harder to capture alive.

|---|---|
| OM/Hutta/Coruscant/DK | 15 |
| Nar Shaddaa | 18 |
