User:Lord Hydronium/Fett

"I see why they call you the best bounty hunter in the galaxy."

- Darth Vader

Boba Fett was an unaltered clone&mdash;the "son"&mdash;of Jango Fett. Boba would become perhaps the most infamous bounty hunter in the galaxy.

Orphaned at a young age, Boba lived through the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War, surviving both, yet never allying outright with either the Galactic Republic, the Separatists, the Galactic Empire, or the Rebel Alliance. He was once married to Sintas Vel, and had a daughter named Ailyn Vel. Fett later abandoned his young family of wife and daughter in order to return to bounty hunting.

After the conclusion of the Galactic Civil War, Fett would become the leader of the Mandalorians. As of 40 ABY, Boba Fett took a more active role as Mandalore and sought to rebuild the House of Mandalore along with his granddaughter, Mirta Gev.

Creation
When the bounty hunter Jango Fett agreed to be the prime clone of the Kaminoan clone army being built for the Galactic Republic, he requested an unaltered clone in addition to his payment. Unlike Fett's other clones, this one&mdash;whom Fett named Boba&mdash;had no genetic alterations, such as those that increased docility and growth rate. Boba was born in a clone incubator in 31.5 BBY.

Raised by Jango
Jango raised Boba as his own son. When Jango went offplanet to hunt his bounties, Boba was taken care of by Kaminoan aide Taun We.

Encounter with Kenobi
Ten years after Fett's birth, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi came to Kamino. Fett immediately knew Kenobi was trouble. After a fight with Kenobi, Jango and Boba fled to Geonosis, where they escaped the Jedi in that world's asteroid ring.

The Battle of Geonosis
Other Jedi soon came to Geonosis, and Jango Fett was killed by Jedi Master Mace Windu in the petranaki arena. Boba left the planet in Jango's ship Slave I.

Bounty hunter (19 BBY&mdash;2 BBY)
Fett, with his father's natural abilities and ship, and the armor of his Jango's mentor Jaster Mereel, was prepared to become the galaxy's greatest bounty hunter.

Competition and allies
On several of Fett's early missions, he teamed up with D'harhan, a cyborg with a laser cannon in place of a head.

Fett became aware that there others with Mandalorian armor in the galaxy. Supercommandos Tobbi Dala and Fenn Shysa remained in the vicinity of the planet Mandalore, and did not interfere with Fett's work. Jodo Kast, on the other hand, competed with Fett, often using his own Mandalorian armor to capitalize on Fett's reputation.

Encounter on Jubilar
Fett first encountered Han Solo while working for Jabba the Hutt on Jubilar. Solo's victory in that world's Free-For-All fight left an lasting impression on Fett.

The hunt for Han Solo
Around 4 BBY, the high priest of Ylesia Teroenza hired Fett to capture Solo in revenge for a humiliation that had been inflicted on him. Fett captured Solo on Nar Shaddaa. Lando Calrissian, however, was able to free Solo, place Fett under the influence of obedience drugs, and send him away in Slave I. Jabba eventually convinced Fett to drop the Solo bounty, though the bounty hunter retained a hatred for Calrissian.

Fett later went on a hunt for Bria Tharen, who he eventually tracked to a passenger liner. This hunt, however, was also foiled by Calrissian. Only a large payment convinced Fett to leave without retribution.

The cask of Abal Karda
Not long before the Battle of Yavin, Darth Vader hired Fett to hunt down Abal Karda, an Imperial deserter. Fett soon discovered, however, that Vader's true goal was a cask belonging to Karda, which held the disembodied, yet living, head of an Icarii soothsayer. Fett and Vader fought for the cask on Maryx Minor, with Vader barely winning.

The High Priest
In the weeks before the Battle of Yavin, Fett took on a bounty for Teroenza, the Ylesian High Priest he had worked for before. Fett killed the priest in his sanctuary on Ylesia moments before the man was to kill Han Solo and Bria Tharen. Fett, however, pointed out that the rescue meant nothing and was only business.

The Yavin Vassilika
Shortly after the events on Ylesia, Fett competed with Han Solo in a search for the treasure known as the Yavin Vassilika.

In Jabba's employ
After the search for the Vassilika, Fett remained working for Jabba. When Jabba visited Docking Bay 94 in Mos Eisley, Fett and several other bounty hunters went with him. They provided a silent threat as the crimelord threatened Han Solo and his partner Chewbacca. Jabba soon posted a large bounty on Solo, but Fett had other business to worry about.

The Bounty Hunters' Guild plot
Months after the Battle of Yavin, Fett took a job for Kud'ar Mub'at, a middleman to join the Bounty Hunters' Guild and destroy it from the inside. When Guild members Zuckuss and Bossk went after Nil Posondum, Fett outwitted and embarrassed the two, then said he wished to join the Guild. Guild leader Cradossk accepted him.

Fett, Zuckuss, Bossk, Cradossk, and IG-88 launched a mission against the Shell Hutts of Circumtore, during which Fett's former companion D'harhan and Cradossk were killed. With Cradossk's death, the guild divided along age lines and began warring amongst itself. Zuckuss and Bossk teamed up with Fett shortly thereafter to capture Imperial defector Trhin Voss'on't, but Fett again outsmarted them to take the bounty.

Fett later learned that the plan to destroy the Guild had been masterminded by Prince Xizor of Black Sun, with the backing of Emperor Palpatine.

The Arrandas
Six months after Yavin, Fett killed Cornelius Evazan on Necropolis, where the doctor had been experimenting in reanimating the dead. On that world he encountered the siblings Zak and Tash Arranda, and their Shi'ido guardian.

Only months later, he was sent after the trio by Darth Vader. Fett followed them as far as Dagobah, but upon encountering a group of shipwrecked cannibals, he was forced to leave without his bounty.

The Panna encounter
On a water-covered moon in the Panna system, Fett attempted to capture Luke Skywalker for Vader, but failed.

Mission to Ota
Fett later traveled to the ice planet of Ota, in search of an Imperial spy. He ran into Skywalker and his Rebel companions again on that world, but they once again escaped him.

Hunt for Katarn
General Rom Mohc eventually hired Fett to kill the Rebel agent Kyle Katarn. Fett followed Katarn to Coruscant; however, he bungled the kill, and Katarn escaped.

The Vryssa garrison
After failing to kill Katarn, Fett determined to reclaim his reputation. On Vryssa, he eliminated an entire Imperial garrison with no backup to claim a bounty hiding within it. This was considered to be Fett's most incredible feat.

Encounter on Ord Mantell
Shortly before the Battle of Hoth, Fett and several other hunters caught Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, and imprisoned them on Ord Mantell. Fett attempted to get two bounties from the capture, one from Jabba and one from Vader, but his quarry escaped.

Pursuit of Captain Solo
When the Millennium Falcon fled Hoth, Vader hired Fett to find it. Fett beat the other bounty hunters on the Falcon's trail, but the droid IG-88B had used a tracking device to follow him to Cloud City. Fett ambushed IG-88 in one of the city's lower smelting chambers, shooting and paralyzing him with a heavy ion cannon, then blasting him apart with grenades. Fett left the scraps of the droid for the Ugnaughts. He later left Cloud City with Solo encased in a slab of carbonite.

Escaping with Solo
IG-88C and IG-88D, each in their own copy of the starship IG-2000, hurried to Cloud City, only to find Fett had left. Eventually they decided to set their own ambush for Fett. As soon as Fett arrived at Tatooine with Solo, the two IG-88 units attacked his ship. Fett outsmarted them and destroyed both ships, then fled to Gall to make repairs, where Dash Rendar later found him. His fellow bounty hunters made many other attempts to take Solo over the ensuing months, but Fett evaded them all and eventually brought his bounty to Jabba's palace. The crimelord paid him a quarter million credits in return.

Skirmish at Carkoon
Luke Skywalker eventually came to rescue Solo. In the course of his rescue, during a fight above the Great Pit of Carkoon, Fett fell into the mouth of the sarlacc.

Escape from the sarlacc
After days of agony, Fett, barely alive, blasted his way out of the sarlacc. The bounty hunter Dengar found him lying in the sand and saved his life. Dengar brought Fett back to health, and in turn Fett agreed to join in a partnership with him.

Fett's right leg was weakened by his time spent within the sarlacc.

Kuat of Kuat
In return for saving his life, Fett let Dengar accompany him in a mission to unearth a conspiracy masterminded by Kuat of Kuat. Fett stole his fellow bounty hunter Bossk's vessel Hound's Tooth and left Slave I on Tatooine. Slave I was eventually taken by the Rebellion and brought to an impound lot on Grakouine, where it remained rusting.

Life in secrecy
Fett was believed by most to have died on Tatooine, and the bounty hunter used this to his advantage. He took to traveling in Slave II, a less recognizable ship, and only took jobs from very particular clients. Dengar stayed on with Fett, serving as the hunter's public face. Though those who had business with Fett could contact him, many, including Han Solo, remained unaware of his survival. Fett eventually obtained Slave I again and kept it in orbit above Nar Shaddaa.

The impersonator Kast
Fett's secret threatened to be blown when Jodo Kast began encouraging others to believe he was Fett. Fett ambushed Kast and killed the impostor.

Bounty on Han Solo
When the reborn Emperor Palpatine began his public campaign against the New Republic, Fett decided to take up a new bounty by the Hutts on Solo. Fett and Dengar ambushed Solo on Nar Shaddaa, then pursued him in the Slave II to Byss. There they collided with that world's planetary shield, losing Solo and the ship, and ending their partnership.

Gorga the Hutt
Alone again, Fett took several jobs with Gorga the Hutt.

Solo, again
With the money he received from the Gorga jobs, Fett was able to turn towards the Solo bounty once more. Fett ambushed, and almost caught, Solo in an alley on Nar Shaddaa, but his plan was foiled when Chewbacca ripped off his helmet and sent him rocketing into a durasteel girder.

Fett recovered from the attack and, taking to space in Slave I, waited near a gas cloud. When the Falcon appeared from within the cloud, Fett fired upon it. The Falcon, however, returned fire with its new lightning gun, which melted the Slave I's circuits. Fett was forced to replace it with the Slave III.

The Azgoghk mission
When news of Fett's failure to capture Solo spread, the bounty hunter sought to regain his reputation. He took a bounty of a hundred credits on the insane Imperial overseers of the dungeon ship Azgoghk.

The Butcher of Montellian Serat
Fett soon, however, needed thousands of credits, having replaced Slave III with Slave IV and gotten surgery to obtain a prosthetic replacement for his right leg, which had been damaged by the sarlacc years earlier.

In 19 ABY, Fett took a bounty on Kardue'sai'Malloc, the Devaronian war criminal known as the Butcher of Montellian Serat. For Malloc's capture, Fett received five million credits.

Return to Jubilar
Fett now needed to regain his pride, and he once again faced off against Han Solo on Jubilar. However, the two men agreed to end their decades-long feud and part ways.

Personality and traits
Fett never socialized and rarely spoke, and none of his bounties saw his face. Fett used this to encourage speculation about his past.

Fett had his father's natural instincts for detecting trouble, as well as Jango's reflexes.

Armor
Fett's armor had once belonged to Jaster Mereel, his father's mentor.

Starships
Fett owned four starships: Slave I through Slave IV. His first, Slave I, he inherited from his father.
