Hunters are the interstellar warriors of the Sythyn, one of only two classes of the pureblooded species which non-Sythyn and Sythyn halfbloods are likely to encounter. Unlike the peaceful Searchers, who look for lost, confused, and perhaps hurting Sythyn halfbloods to explain and help any way they can, Hunters seek out instances of abuse of those of the Sythyn blood, who can often be very vulnerable. They care not whether the abuses are given out by pure Sythyn, Sythyn halfbloods, or non-Sythyn: their retaliation for the abuse is swift and often final. 

Hunters follow strict guidelines for the retrieval of refugees, the disposal of abusers, and their general conduct, though these might vary depending on the Hunter school any individual has graduated from. If there are conflicts aboard ship or in a mission, the rules of the Hunter Captain take precedence. Most Hunter groups consist of six Hunters, each with different specialties and talents. The Hunter group in these stories, however, is sadly reduced due to two deaths and one retirement a year before the start of the story, and as such, does not have the same strength, balance, or dynamics of most Hunter groups.
