Boba Fett ½: Salvage

Boba Fett ½: Salvage is a short comic that was originally published in Wizard Magazine. It was later reprinted in the Boba Fett: Enemy of the Empire trade paperback.

Plot summary
While en route to Coruscant, Slave I picks up a distress signal from a ZZ-class freighter, Mingula. All the crew are dead. Boba takes a prisoner, Tsumo, with him onboard the freighter. There is another prisoner in the hold who is named Chung. They find Volpau, third cousin of Emperor Palpatine, in a Death Casket, with a royal amulet in it, and the dead crew with boils all over them. Ubuugan fleshborers come out of their bodies and attack Fett and Tsumo. Tsumo is infected and dies from the fleshborers. Because of Fett's Mandalorian armor, the fleshborers, don't make it through yet. The fleshborers have eaten through the airlock and have boarded Slave I. Boba torches the fleshborers but the flames are heating the power cells. He then escapes though the waste chute. The Mingula explodes and Slave I intercepts Fett. Thinking that the fleshborers are still on the ship and that Chung is dead, Boba rushes to the prisoner hold. There, Chung is eating the dead fleshborers as a snack. Fett has lost Tsumo, but gained a royal amulet.
