As a rule, the Bounty Hunters' Guild preferred to be on the side of the angels as far as Republic law was involved, generally refusing contracts that directly opposed or hurt the Republic, considering they paid the Guild rather well in order for their services, and in order to keep their services from being turned against the Republic. But every rule had it's exception. And this happened to be one of them. A certain wealthy client had offered a frankly obscene sum of credits in order to spring a prisoner from a Republic Prisoner Transport headed to the supermax prison on Coruscant.
And because the Bounty Hunters' Guild preferred to avoid hurting the Republic, at least officially, this was also why this particular contract had been chosen as the Trial of one aspiring Hunter, Diva Tumi. She wasn't a true member of the Guild yet, so should her mission fail and she ended up caught, or dead, the Guild could easily deny any involvement and claim Ms. Tumi as yet another wannabee unaffiliated with the Guild.
In order for Diva to accomplish her mission, she would have to board the Republic prison transport while it was refueling and synchronizing it's navigation computers at a space station orbiting Anaxes. From there, it was a direct jump to Coruscant, where CSF would begin transporting the entire prisoner wing of the ship directly to the prison. So while at Anaxes Orbital, Diva had exactly one hour and fifteen minutes to infiltrate the ship, collect her acquisition and get out, or spend the remainder of her natural lifetime within a Republic supermax prison. If she succeeded, however, she would not only get a substantial payday, but she would also be a fully licensed member of the Bounty Hunters' Guild.
