After Boba Fett's apparent death at the Pit of Carkoon, Rebel Alliance forces recover his blast-proof case containing professional documents and personal artifacts. The centerpiece holds two bound volumes: the Bounty Hunters Guild Handbook and a Death Watch manifesto. The Guild Handbook instructs new hunters in the crimson trade, detailing tools, techniques, and survival methods for operating outside galactic law. Fett has annotated the margins extensively, joined by fellow hunters Greedo, Bossk, and Dengar who previously owned the book. The Death Watch volume traces Mandalorian philosophy and equipment, from T-visors to jetpacks. Originally belonging to Death Watch leader Tor Vizsla, Jango Fett passed it to his son with handwritten guidance. Boba planned to leave it for his daughter, adding his own notes for her education. Aurra Sing and Hondo Ohnaka contributed their observations as well. Cradossk's brutal memoir chronicles his rise to Guild leadership. The case includes Fett's licenses, a Kamino saberdart, and an Imperial wanted poster for Han Solo.
