@Dredigan Alright, here's my stuff
How is it?
The Hunter's Guild was formed after Humanity was well into the Galactic Age. From a species who had already at one stage wanted everything under the sun, surely there would be someone who would want everything under the stars as well, and the Hunter's Guild operates with those desires in mind. They specialize in hunting rare and exotic beasts for the galaxy's rich and famous. Perhaps there are other mercenary companies who would be able to take down several of the beasts the Hunter's Guild are known for hunting, but the Hunter's Guild has garenered a reputation for being able to catch any of their targets alive.
But the Hunter's Guild isn't just a band of mercenaries. Perhaps it could've been thought of as such when it was first formed but over time the Hunter's Guild grew to be more than just that. They've become something like a conglomerate Super-Corporation boasting facilities devoted to advanced weapon development, genetic research, ecological preservation and more. The Hunter's Guild essentially became large enough to control the rights to hunt the rarest creatures in the galaxy. With that said, several of the species under the protection of the Hunter's Guild do need that control.
Most of the Galactic Governments respect the Hunter's Guild's intention to preserve those creatures and as such the Hunter's Guild works closely with those governments in the act of restricting access to them.
There are also some planets closed off from the public that contain creatures that would simply be far too dangerous to take down without risking many lives. The power of the Hunter's Guild means they have a monopoly on the rarest creatures in the Galaxy, however even though the recent cataclysms that have occurred have so far been very limited, the Hunter's Guild sees that there may be a chance that it might threaten everything they have worked towards. Therefore, they too have joined the fight against it.

The Hunter's Guild collective as a selection of planets under the jurisdiction of the Hunter's Guild. Many of these were newly discovered when claimed by the Hunter's guild so their names are temporary until the Hunter's Guild decides to do something about it. These are but a few of those planets:
X-0293
The Hunter's Guild X rating signifies a planet that must be restricted from public access at all costs. Even so, X-0293 is unique in the fact that its species aren't critically endangered, or particularly dangerous, but simply because X-10923 is almost impossible to reach. It resides in a 'dead' star system, all of the stars inside collapsed and became black holes. Going through that sector has only been an option for the extremely desperate. No ships have survived a journey directly inside of it, save for one.
There is a star remaining in that system, and the solitary planet orbiting it is X-0293. A lone starship had been exploring the sector. Not unusual, many adventurous spirits had sought the secrets the system might hold, to find only death awaiting them. This starship however somehow made it through the maze of black holes and found itself on X-0293. They reported that X-0293 was a planet unlike anything they had ever seen. There was lush vegetation with plenty of good fruit to eat, the animals were incredibly docile and could be approached without caution. There were also natural ore nodes on the surface which crumbled to their touch and gave chunks of high purity metal.
As soon as the starship escaped the system, the Hunter's Guild immediately got as much information as they could from them in order to research the planet. They hypothesized that perhaps the solar radiation released by all of the dying stars in the system may have completely eliminated the Planet's natural predators with the star it orbits helping to protect the planet from complete destruction. The only creatures to survive would have been those that could hide underground, and the lack of predators when returning above ground would mean the creatures would evolve without any need of a defensive instinct.
So far attempts to reach the planet again have been completely unsuccessful. The Hunter's Guild has completely restricted access to the sector until they find a safe way to navigate it.

In a way, the planet X-0001 is very similar to X-0293. X-0001 is a solitary planet, the only one in its star system but the stars are all very much alive. Frequent solar storms erupt from them but it's not as impossible to approach as X-0293. Unlike X-0293 however, the surface is completely barren of anything, and there is only one creature on the planet. To survive the constant solar storms the species evolved as their numbers dwindled, and a monstrosity was created as a result. Extremely resilient, it feeds off solar radiation and can use it as a weapon in lazer-like attacks.
The 0001 in its name denotes its priority as a research target. Studying its biology could provide a new way of making lazers so obviously it's gotta be high on the list. But instead of trying to hunt it directly, the Hunter's Guild has instead opted to let it die naturally. There has never been one observed throughout its entire lifespan before and trying to fight it directly might result in catastrophic loss of personnel. It was barred from the public ever since first discovery by the Hunter's Guild and some have requested to at least get a look at Phoenix, but they are always denied.
