The case includes:

- The 48-page memoirs of Cradossk, former head of the Bounty Hunters Guild, with an inscription from the author to Boba Fett
- A Kamino saberdart
- Boba Fett's captain's license

Strengths:
- Knowledge is Power: The information contained within the guides and books offers valuable lessons, especially considering the array of individuals who contributed to making notes for the purpose of educating Bounty Hunters. It allows those with access a lot of inside information, personal tactics, methods of Hunting and even some trade secrets few would know in this day and age (such as schematics for Mandalorian tech, some race/species weaknesses, how to hunt dangerous creatures, etc).
- Piece of History: The items contained within could be worth a lot to someone who wants it enough.
Weaknesses:
- Ancient Information: While the information is helpful regarding insights and tactics, the case and its contents are several centuries old, and as a result some of the schematics and information may be irrelevant with modernization in crafting or operating methods.
- Delicate to Touch: Given the guides are flimsiplast, it stands to reason that time has aged them. While the case was secure and air-tight, there remains a great level of delicacy to reading the information within, to avoid damage.
DESCRIPTION
When Boba Fett first joined the Bounty Hunter's Guild, he noticed the lack of guidance the supposed 'Bounty Hunters' Guild Handbook' actually offered. Wanting to improve on what was there, with first-hand lessons from his father (Jango Fett), as well as his own experiences, the Bounty Hunter began adding notations throughout. He provided explanation and annotation, added tactics and methods he had developed over his famous career, and he expanded on what the Handbook had to offer. From his own personal collection, Boba had a similarly annotated manifesto of the Death Watch, which he bound together with his version of the Guild Handbook to create the ultimate guide to Bounty Hunting - he called it The Bounty Hunter Code.
Putting the items somewhere secure, in a blast-proof and sealed case no less, Boba sought to keep the items safe for his daughter. Boba left it with the Bounty Hunters' Guild, where various other members added to the notations and information contained within over time. Guild members such as Greedo, Bossk, Dengar, Aurra Sing, and Hondo Ohnaka, to name some. The manifesto of the Death Watch held accounts by Tor Vizsla and Jango Fett, expanding on philosophy of the group, their methods, their beliefs and combat tactics, and even information about their tech. Even later, an heirloom from Bossk from his father - a copy of Cradossk's memoir 'Making a Killing' - was added to the stash, complete with some annotated notes and personal experience on hunting creatures, especially Wookiees, throughout the autobiography.
After a time, and following his apparent death, the case was forgotten, until Boba returned and resumed his Hunting career - only to discover his daughter had died at the hands of Jacen Solo. With no heir to claim the Code, he decided to simply leave it as an item for the future Guild Leaders. With luck, it would offer lessons and educate them further in how to become the best Bounty Hunter they could be. Not requiring the personal effects contained within, Boba left the other items - such as ID cards, permits, wanted posters, etc - as he very rarely had cause to carry them, given his status. Plus, they weren't important to him, and had been intended for his deceased daughter, so they only dredged up memories rather forgotten.
Over time, the case became another piece of junk in the Guild armory, and it was largely untouched following Boba's passing. Several centuries later, when reorganizing and clearing the Guild, wanting to bring a little more organization to the faction, Sidon Eshe discovered it, opened the lock with one of Fett's old ID cards in the Guild archives, and was surprised to find the wealth of information within. From then on, he has spent time carefully studying the materials, taking great care to avoid damaging the old writings; and the knowledge and development he's gained from study have been invaluable...
