Slave I/Legends

Slave I was a prototype Firespray-class patrol/attack ship used by famed bounty hunters Jango Fett and Boba Fett.

History
Originally, Slave I was a police vehicle from the asteroid prison Oovo IV. There were only five of the model in the entire Galaxy, all on Oovo IV.



When Jango Fett was collecting a bounty on the asteroid prison, he was unable to return to his former ship Jaster's Legacy. He escaped with one of the Firesprays and destroyed all of the others, making Slave I a one of a kind starship.

Designed to carry live prisoners to Oovo IV, the ship featured numerous holding cells and devices made for the most exotic of creatures. While idle, Slave I sat flat on its bottom surface, although during flight the ship rotated 90 degrees to maneuver vertically.



Slave I was a well-armed starship, and Boba Fett endlessly modified it. It is not known if Jango Fett modified or knew it could be. It was stolen during the Vosa Bounty, near the creation of the Grand Army of the Republic and the end of Jango's life, so he may not have had the time. Either way, it was very powerful and under Jango Fett's ownership, its weaponry included 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 proton torpedoes or various other payloads, and a naval minelayer equipped with seismic charges. When Boba took over the ship after Jango’s death, the quad-laser cannons were replaced with an ion cannon and a concussion-missile launcher. A tractor beam was added as well as a sensory jammer and array, making the ship invisible to radar, allowing Fett to enter any planet, even Imperial Center, without hassle.

However, this powerful ship would eventually meet it's end. During the Reborn Emperor's attack on the New Republic, 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 parts of Slave I apart, although Fett mananged to escape.



It is not known how Fett could have escaped, though it is possible that Slave I had a escape pod onboard. The ship was replaced with Slave III (the second had already been used and discarded) and eventually Slave IV and Slave V.
