Office of Sanctioned Private Interstellar Recovery and Elimination

The Office of Sanctioned Private Interstellar Recovery and Elimination (OSPIRE) was a detachment of the Galactic Republic's Judicial Department that oversaw the action of government-aligned bounty hunters prior to and during the Clone Wars. Most Republic bounty hunters sought to capture their assigned fugitives, though lethal force was used to eliminate any significant threat - a tactic used by common police. Following the Republic's Imperialization, OSPIRE was disbanded and its duty of overseeing the operations of sanctioned bounty hunters was acquired by the Office of Criminal Investigations.
