'''War'qi''' was a [[Bounty hunter/Legends|bounty hunter]] and big-game hunter operating at least from [[4 ABY/Legends|4 ABY]] to [[10 ABY/Legends|10 ABY]]. Not being a hunter only for the money, War'qi was known to enjoy the thrill of hunting, giving the hunter's prey a chance to survive. However, War'qi had also mistreated and killed some of the sentient prey during this career.

War'qi used [[Bounty hunter/Legends|bounty hunter]] [[Armor/Legends|armor]], including different weapons and toys particularly as add-ons in the arms. This hunter's personal favorite was an [[Antipersonnel Net Gun]] allowing War'qi to capture a prey and, in case the prey is not defeated yet, use the electric shock delivery of the net in a process that could kill the unfortunate victim. War'qi disliked less protective armors such as the [[Castaan Armory|Castaan]] Staad.

To avoid spoiling the fun of hunting, War'qi used [[SoroSuub Corporation/Legends|SoroSuub's]] [[Firestorm-1]] mini-missile launcher instead of the [[Fireball missile package]] because Fireball included a guidance package, which War'qi considered an unfair advantage. Fellow weaponry-user [[Lloco]], who would rather not have a fair fight with a fugitive, disagreed with this idea.

War'qi was also knowledgeable in explosives: the hunter modified [[Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc./Legends|Merr-Sonn]] [[Stun/Legends|stun]] [[Grenade/Legends|grenades]] introducing [[Detonite/Legends|detonite]] in them, to create powerful [[Bomb/Legends|bombs]] that looked like non-lethal weapons. War'qi was careful to include enough explosive to beat all the people the individual was supposed to beat with one grenade, but not too much to avoid an expansive wave covering War'qi's own position.

Up until some point before [[5 ABY/Legends|5 ABY]], War'qi commonly captured the people the hunter was tracking, then tied them and kept them in the hold of the hunter's [[Starship/Legends|ship]]. Sometimes, War'qi's employer claimed that the mark had been mistreated and paid War'qi less than the stipulated amount. Other times, the supposed victim counterattacked War'qi, who had to fight in the hunter's own ship. To avoid this kind of events, War'qi bought a [[Damorind Securities]] [[Damorind Securities Model S-3 Force Cage|Force Cage]], which the hunter used for his captives.

As a big-game hunter, War'qi hunted [[Ghest/Legends|Ghests]] in the swamps of [[Rodia/Legends|Rodia]] using specialized weapons. War'qi liked the [[Firearc 49 speargun]] because it only had one shot before reloading.

War'qi frequented [[Gundark (arms dealer)|Gundark's]] [[Gundark's Gear Datalog]] during the early [[Standard year/Legends|years]] of the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]], sharing anecdotes from the individual's hunts and offering professional opinions on the products War'qi liked most and less. The hunter wrote a unfavorable review on the [[Salus Corporation/Legends|Salus]] [[Tangler Elite 1]], although War'qi did not say specifically whether the weapon had been used or not.

==Behind the scenes==
War'qi has only been mentioned in ''[[Gundark's Fantastic Technology: Personal Gear]]'', a [[West End Games]] role-playing supplement where War'qi is one of the people leaving messages on the datalogs (Other individuals include [[Platt Okeefe/Legends|Platt Okeefe]] and [[Gunman]]). These messages were designed to serve as scenario hooks for gamemasters, or to provide possible modifications for equipment. Others provided explanations for why weapons could fail; gamemasters were encouraged to draw on these to explain what occurs when a player rolled an unlucky number.

War'qi's sex is not specified in the book.

The datalogs seem to suggest that War'qi had been posting from [[Atzerri/Legends|Atzerri]], [[Bothawui/Legends|Bothawui]], [[Kashyyyk/Legends|Kashyyyk]], [[Kothlis/Legends|Kothlis]], [[Reuss (star)|Reuss]] and [[Selonia/Legends|Selonia]]. However, each post gives only the first three letters of the planet from which it has been sent, so this would be at best ambiguous.

War'qi is misspelled ''War'qui'' in his post of the [[Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc./Legends|Merr-Sonn]] [[Stun Grenade]], or it refers to a different person.
