Slave I / Legends Slave I was a modified prototype " Firespray - 31 " - class patrol and attack craft used by famed bounty hunters Jango Fett and his cloned " son " , Boba Fett . It was greatly modified with advanced weapons systems by both Fetts during their respective use . Originating from Oovo IV , the ship was stolen by Jango Fett , replacing his previous ship , " Jaster ' s Legacy " . After Jango ' s death on Geonosis in 22 BBY , the ship was inherited by Boba Fett and used on several missions during and after the Clone Wars . It was subsequently replaced by the " Slave II " , " Slave III " , and " Slave IV " . Description . Like all " Firespray " s , " Slave I " sat flat on its bottom surface when idle , although during flight the ship rotated 90 degrees to maneuver vertically . Boba later added a unique stabilization system which always kept the cockpit oriented " up " . " Slave I " was a well - armed starship , and to keep it from becoming obsolete , it was endlessly modified . It was stolen during the Vosa bounty , near the time of the creation of the Grand Army of the Republic and the end of Jango ' s life . While under Jango Fett ' s ownership , its weaponry included two heavy twin blaster cannons , as well as two rapid firing laser cannons . Rounding out the ship ' s armament were two projectile launchers , each holding a magazine of three homing missile s or various other payloads , and a naval minelayer equipped with seismic charges . " Slave I " also possessed special dummy proton torpedoes mounted with homing beacons and S - thread trackers . By tagging a ship with one of these beacons , Fett could then utilize his contraband HoloNet transceiver to track ships through hyperspace . Most of these weapons were hidden beneath the hull ; the armor plating would slide away during the ship ' s attacks . The ship was also outfitted with a sensor array that could detect minute changes in the ship ' s mass , which could be used to find homing beacons . Jango added a spartan crew quarters since the original " Firespray " was suited for short - term patrols . On top of all this , Jango devoted two - thirds of the entire ship ' s interior to the powerful upgraded Kuat drive engines and power generators , giving " Slave I " the sublight speed of an Alliance BTL Y - wing starfighter — a remarkable feat for a ship of " Slave I " size . There was a combination airlock and docking ring behind the cockpit , although this was covered by a sensor dish at various points in the vessel ' s history . History . Acquisition . Originally , " Slave I " was a prototype police vehicle from the asteroid prison Oovo IV . There were only six of the model in the entire galaxy , all on Oovo IV . While on the trail for the Dark Jedi and Bando Gora leader , Komari Vosa , Jango Fett captured Bendix Fust for the crime lord Sebolto . Fett was beaten to Fust in Desolation Alley by another bounty hunter , who then began a prison riot . After fighting his way through armed guards and prisoners , Jango made it back to his ship , " Jaster ' s Legacy " . Unfortunately , the rival bounty hunter attempted to slice into the old ship . After helping Zam Wesell defeat a horde of guards , a " Firespray " - class starship fired upon Jango ' s ship , destroying it . Acting on a tip from the elevator manager , Jango made his way into the asteroid prison ' s hangar bays and stole a " Firespray " - class vessel along with Wesell . During their escape , Jango launched two missiles into the hangar bay housing the other five " Firespray " vessels and destroyed them to deny any chance of being pursued , leaving his the only ship of its type in existence . Sometime later , Jango would name his new ship " Slave I " . It was not until Kuat Systems Engineering reintroduced the " Firespray " line several decades later that other examples of the class would again be seen . Boba ' s " Slave I " . After Jango ' s death in the First Battle of Geonosis , Boba took the ship . " Slave I " was stolen in 22 BBY by Gjon on Bogg 2 , but Boba and a thief named Aia took it back . When the boy was captured by Aurra Sing , Dooku gave her the ship as a payment , but Boba eventually recovered it . During this time , Boba landed on Tatooine and had Mentis Qinx refuel his ship . Over time , he equipped " Slave I " with better and better weapons . He added a cloaking device , proton torpedoes , and a minelayer . Boba had the ship when he teamed up with Aurra Sing , Bossk and Castas , to avenge Jango ` s death and kill Mace Windu . When the attempt failed , Boba used " Slave I " to transport hostages CC - 6454 , Admiral Shoan Kilian and a clone naval officer to Florrum to lure Windu out . At Florrum , Padawan Ahsoka Tano heavily damaged " Slave I " with her lightsaber in attempt to rescue the hostages and to prevent Aurra Sing from flying away . Aurra lost her control over " Slave I " and crash landed the ship . In the resulting explosion , she was considered dead and " Slave I " was counted as destroyed during that time , and young Boba was captured by Jedi Master Plo Koon , and taken to the court . The Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka , after pulling the unconscious Aurra from the wreckage and realizing the uniqueness of the ship , took the crashed ship after she damaged his pirate base . He rebuilt the " Slave I " and painted it green . Later , Fett reacquired the ship , but it was damaged in a dogfight with a Ginivex - class starfighter , which he believed to be piloted by Asajj Ventress , and was saved from destruction only by the intervention of Anakin Skywalker , who later repaired the ship . Fett would continue to use the ship to hunt various bounties during the Imperial Period , such as when he was employed by Darth Vader to retrieve an escaped clone of Galen Marek , or on his mission to find Abal Karda . Fett even used " Slave I " ' s capsule pickup abilities to escape the " Mingula " after investigating it . Sometime after Boba Fett took over " Slave I " , he took it to Kuat Drive Yards to have it re - modified to fit his profession more suitably . The two rapid fire laser cannons were replaced with an ion cannon and a concussion missile launcher . A miniature tractor beam projector was added to assist in capturing bounties . A stolen sensor masking and jamming array made the ship invisible to sensors , allowing Fett to enter any planet , even Imperial Center , without hassle . He topped the armament off by changing the main ordnance of the projectile launchers to proton torpedoes . Fett routinely stored a swoop aboard to make himself more mobile once on - world , and devoted a piece of the living area to holding cells . Around two months after the Battle of Yavin , " Slave I " was used to ambush Han Solo ' s starship " Millennium Falcon " in the Corsair Outback , although Solo escaped to hyperspace . Fett used the ship to track Han Solo to Bespin in order to collect the bounty placed on Solo by the Galactic Empire and Jabba Desilijic Tiure in 3 ABY . During his delivery of Han Solo to Jabba , Fett engaged in a dogfight with two IG - 88 assassin droids . IG - 88C was destroyed the moment Fett emerged from hyperspace when , rather than inquiring about the other hunter ' s presence , he fired every weapon aboard " Slave I " . IG - 88D followed Fett seconds after the destruction of his counterpart and began to pummel Fett ' s shields with laser fire . However as the " IG - 2000 " followed Boba into Tatooine ' s atmosphere , Fett activated his inertial dampers shedding his momentum and frying his hyperdrives . This move brought the " IG - 2000 " directly into his sights , where he disabled the ship with his ion cannon , pulled it in with a tractor beam and launched a full bank of concussion missiles into it . After his escape from the Sarlacc , Boba stole the " Hound ' s Tooth " from the Trandoshan , Bossk , using it to travel undetected . " Slave I " was abandoned in Tatooine ' s orbit , where it was discovered by a Rebel scout patrol . It was left in a shipyard for several years until it was recovered by Boba , during which time he used the ship " Slave II " . This powerful ship nearly met it ' s end during the " reborn " Emperor ' s attack on the New Republic when Boba Fett ambushed Han Solo on Nar Shaddaa . Fett damaged the " Millennium Falcon " , but still continued to chase after it . The " Falcon " managed to escape and be repaired , but Fett was still patiently waiting for his quarry to return . Soon enough , Solo appeared , and he demonstrated his new " lightning gun , " which tore into parts of " Slave I " , although Fett managed to escape . It is probable that Fett escaped through " Slave I " onboard escape pod . The ship was replaced with " Slave III " — the second had already been used and discarded — which preceded the " Slave IV " . However , some time before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion , Fett had managed to recover and repair " Slave I " and used it once more after he lost " Slave IV " on Shogun . When Briika Jeban was mortally wounded tackling a Yuuzhan Vong warrior — one of the spikes on the warrior ' s vonduun crab armor piercing her suit ' s plating — it was revealed that " Slave I " was equipped with an emergency medical droid . Despite its efforts , the droid was unable to save Briika . In 40 ABY , " Slave I " had a decoy system , which tricked enemy sensors into detecting a speeder bike instead of a " Firespray " . During the Second Galactic Civil War Fett used " Slave I " to bring back Sintas Vel ' s carbonite - frozen body from Phaeda to Mandalore in 41 ABY . Behind the scenes . Some people mistakenly believe the " Slave I " design was inspired by a lamp post outside the ILM building . But Nilo Rodis - Jamero , an art director on " " , said that his design for the " Slave I " was actually based on a radar dish . It was later on when the ship was being constructed at ILM that someone pointed out that it resembled a street lamp , and from then on people just assumed that that had been the original source of the design . Lorne Peterson was one of only two model makers to work on the " Slave I " . Damage to the " Slave I " prior to being repainted green by Hondo is shown on the PocketModel ship unit produced by WizKids . However , the game piece shows both wings in place and includes stats for Slave I for starship battles . This indicates that the rebuilding by the Weequay pirate was a work in progress with the functional parts repaired before the cosmetic pieces and the outer hull received attention . K . W . Jeter ' s " Slave Ship " states " Slave I " was custom - built for Boba Fett by KDY , but later sources overrode this statement . The " construction " was possibly retroactively changed to a refitting . It is mentioned in the books that " Slave I " had to be significantly rebuilt following damage done by Bossk and Xizor . " Slave I " was severely damaged and almost destroyed in the comic " Dark Empire II " . A number of other sources show Boba Fett using different starships , although he is once again flying a " Firespray " in " " . However , the later works of Karen Traviss once more have him flying " Slave I " . It is stated that the captain ' s chair he sits in and the consoles are among the few original parts of " Slave I " from the ship of Jango ' s time . Many of " Slave I " internal structures were changed from " Episode V " to " Episode II " and the " Clone Wars " TV series . The Incredible Cross Sections for the original series depicts " Slave I " internal structures to be oriented for when the ship is in its horizontal landing position while the same book series for " Episode II " depicts the ship with its internal structures oriented for use while the ship is in its vertical flying position . Other discrepancies include the airlock that is seen in episode 20 of of " " that was previously depicted as a series of antennas and sensors . Both the Boba and Jango Fett variations of the " Slave I " appeared in " Star Wars : Rogue Squadron III : Rebel Strike " as unlockable ships : Boba ' s version was unlocked by earning bronze medals on all standard single - player missions , whereas Jango ' s version only appeared in " Versus Mode " when one player picked " Slave I " and another picked the Jedi Starfighter for the Geonosis versus mode stage .
