Lord Boba Fett

## Boba Fett

"*I’m a simple man making his way through the galaxy. Like my father before me.*"
―Boba Fett
**Boba Fett** was a human male crime lordand former bounty hunter whose career spanned decades, from the fall of the Galactic Republicto the end of the rule of the Galactic Empire. Originally code-named **Alpha**, he was an unaltered clone of the famed Mandalorianbounty hunter Jango Fett who raised the boy as his son. Boba emulated his father and genetic donor by wearing a customized suit of Mandalorian armor. His personal starship was the *Slave I*, a *Firespray-31*-class patrol and attack craft that once belonged to Jango. Trained in combat and martial skills from a young age, Fett was one of the most feared bountyhunters in the galaxy during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. He became a legend over the course of his career, which included contracts for both the Empire and the extensive criminal underworld. After living among the Tusken Raiders of Tatooine for a time, he took over as Daimyo of Mos Espa during the era of the New Republic.

Boba was created on the extragalactic planet of Kamino as a result of an arrangement between the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus and Jango Fett, a Mandalorian foundling who served as the template of the Grand Army of the Republic. Unlike the clone troopers grown from Jango's DNA, Jango regarded Boba as his son. During the last days of the Separatist Crisis, Boba and Jango retreated to Geonosis where the latter was killed in battle by Jedi Master Mace Windu. Orphaned by Jango's death, Boba sought vengeance by attempting to assassinate Windu, although his planproved unsuccessful. After serving time in prison on Coruscant, Fett took up his late father's profession as a bounty hunter, working alongside other mercenaries, such as Bossk and Dengar, and eventually apprenticing himself to his father's infamous protégée, Cad Bane.

In the aftermath of the Clone Wars, Fett continued to make a name for himself while working for the gangster Jabba Desilijic Tiure as well as the Sith Lord Darth Vader. During the Galactic Civil War, the bounty hunter managed to track down Captain Han Solo to Bespin on a contract for the Galactic Empire, before delivering him to Jabba's Palace on Tatooine. Fett tried to prevent Solo's rescue by the Alliance to Restore the Republic, only to fall into the Great Pit of Carkoon when the smuggler accidentally slammed a pole into the bounty hunter's jetpack, causing it to malfunction.

Although Fett survived his ordeal with the man-eating sarlacc, his armor was sold to Cobb Vanth by Jawa scavengers. Following a time in the company of a Tusken tribe, Fett eventually regained his armor by tracking down and confronting the Mandalorian warrior Din Djarin on Tython, who took Fett's armor from Vanth. After helping Djarin to rescue the foundling Grogu from the clutches of Moff Gideon, the ex-bounty-hunter returned to Tatooine where he killed Bib Fortunaand claimed the late Jabba's throne as Daimyo with Fennec Shand by his side. Now the head of his own gotra, Fett intended to rule the territories of Mos Espa by winning the people's respect, though he would face several major challenges to his position owed to the two-facedness of mayor Mok Shaiz such as the Twins' bid for power and the expansion of the Pyke Syndicate's spice trade. Ultimately, though, Fett overcame all obstacles - including a confrontation with his old mentor, Cad Bane - and emerged victorious with the help of his associates, gaining the appreciation and approval of Mos Espa's denizens.

## Biography

### Early Bounty Hunting Career

#### Visit to Vandor

"*You’re Tobias Beckett. You killed Aurra Sing.*"
"*Pushed her. I’m pretty sure the fall killed her.*"
―Lando Calrissian, and Tobias Beckett, on Fett’s old mentor
In 10 BBY, Fett completed a job for Jabba, which resulted in his Mandalorian helmet receiving significant damage and as a result, he temporarily wore the ancient helmet of Cassus Fett, which he had found on a previous mission. During his leisure hours in the following days, Fett, accompanied by his old friend Dengar, visited Vandor’s cantina. The pair were present when Crimson Dawn agents Tobias Beckett, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Qi’ra visited the cantina in search of Lando Calrissian, hoping to recruit his services for their upcoming heist on Kessel. Fett and Dengar were engaged in conversation as Beckett’s Crew entered the cantina. Following a game of sabacc between Solo and Calrissian, Fett overheard the latter praising Beckett for the assassination of Aurra Sing, Fett’s old mentor, though he cared little due to her betrayal of him in the Clone Wars. Fett and Dengar later witnessed Calrissian attempt to break up a fight between L3-37 and a droid wrestling master.
