"I see why they call you the best bounty hunter in the galaxy."
- ―Darth Vader[src]
Boba Fett was a Mandalorian warrior and bounty hunter of Clan Fett from the Viau universe . Originally code-named unit A0050, he was an unaltered clone of the famed Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett. A clone of the famed Jango Fett, created in 31 BBY (1382 NE) as the first of many Fett replicas designed to become part of the Axis of Empires, and was raised as Jango's son. Trained from a young age to become a skilled bounty hunter as was his father-figure before him. He became a bounty hunter and took assignments from beings during the rule of the Galactic Empire when it was formed in 19 BBY and later on its allies, the Axis of Empires during the First Multiverse War, it was the perfect environment for Fett.
Fett was a renowned human male Mandalorian bounty hunter of Clan Fett whose career spanned centuries, from the fall of the Galactic Republic to the end of the rule of the Galactic Empire and the era that followed where he ascensed as ruler of Mandalore. Boba emulated his father and genetic donor by wearing a customized suit of Mandalorian armor.
Fett became known as the Viau Skyriver galaxy's best bounty hunter of the next several decades, often working for the Empire. He collaborated with Darth Vader on several occasions, and the Sith Lord even developed a grudging respect for Fett.
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 bounty hunters 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.
During the early era of the Great War, Fett married Sintas Vel and had a daughter named Ailyn Vel. However Sintas was raped by Fett's senior officer and Fett killed him in revenge, only to be jailed and exiled for his own crime. After that, Fett and Sintas split up and Fett focused on a renewed career as a bounty hunter. During the Viau Civil War, Fett was often employed by the Empire and many members of the Axis as a bounty hunter, and chose not to belong to the Bounty Hunters' Guild. Fett in the aftermath of the Battle of Hoth, transported Captain Han Solo from Bespin to Jabba's Palace on Viau Tatooine.
He tried to prevent Solo's rescue by the Alliance of Nations, only to fall into the Great Pit of Carkoon when Solo accidentally slammed a pole into Fett's jetpack, causing it to malfunction. Although Fett survived his ordeal with the sarlacc, he lost his memory but was able to regain it and was nursed back to health by Dengar, and resumed his life as a bounty hunter once more. However Fett had been tested to his physical limits and required extensive medical treatments to prevent himself from developing a cancer, a result of his altered metabolism from his days in the sarlacc. Fett had lost a leg, and the stump was constantly irritated by the prosthetic attachment and Fett returned to Kamino to have his bad leg replaced, but Taun We asked Fett to hunt down Fenn Shysa due to past actions. Although the exact details are unclear, during this encounter, Shysa perished on the planet Shogun, saving Fett from death.
After a promise made to a dying Fenn Shysa, Fett became Mandalore, ascending to the leadership of the Mandalorian Protectors and ending his long career of bounty hunting. Fett eventually led the Mandalorians through the first war and originally working as a mercenary for the extra-galactic aliens and members of the Horde, the Yuuzhan Vong, Fett later aided the New Republic in their battle against the invaders. When theCombine exterminated many of the Mandalorians and assaulted Viau Mandalore and bombarded the planet's surface, a large deposit of Mandalorian iron was unearthed, ironically helping to strengthen the Mandalorians and helped led the eventual defeat of the Combine and earn the Alliance a victory with he aid of his counterpart from the Filo universe.
Later, nearing the end of the Galactic Civil War, Boba, who was still leading the Mandalorians, was plagued by ailing health. He found his granddaughter, Mirta Gev, and the two went on many missions together, even alongside Han Solo. Fett also trained Solo's daughter Jaina to kill her twin brother, Darth Caedus, and assisted the Jedi and Peacekeepers when he was employed by them in several battles. Ultimately, Fett's training helped Jaina bring down Caedus, though an Imperial nanovirus attack prevented Fett from ever returning to Mandalore.
Biography[]
Personality and traits[]
Many people, including Darth Vader, considered Fett to be the best bounty hunter in the Skyriver Galaxy and even beyond. Fett was aware of that opinion and it emboldened him enough to occasionally converse with the Sith Lord in an irreverent tone that no one besides Emperor Palpatine or Grand Moff Tarkin would dare take with him. Fett was very cunning and witty like his father, but at a much more emphasized level. Throughout the many years of his bounty hunting career, Fett developed a strong sense of justice, moral obligation, and adhered to his own code of honor. He took only certain bounties that agreed with his own beliefs and brutal justice. But to those few, he whole-heartedly devoted all of his magnificent skill should the occasion call for it. This led him to believe in a quick, clean kill. His moral code however, did not prevent him from taking numerous bounties from Imperial clients. In fact, he worked for Darth Vader so often that in some instances, Fett was even referred to as Vader's "right-hand man". He once justified this apparent contradiction to Leia by pointing out that the Rebel Alliance before it became a New Republic had started the Galactic Civil War, not the Empire, and that the Rebels brought only chaos and strife to galactic society, whereas the Empire created order. As Fett believed that order was preferable to chaos regardless of how that order was achieved, he preferred to work for the Empire rather than the Alliance. He also shared some limits of disdain to members of the Axis where as he considered the ones like the Greater German Empire for their racism to be immoral and never considered working for them or the Japanese Empire. He also mentioned at one point that he preferred working for clients who would be around to hire him again, and as such refused to work for the New Republic because he thought its existence would be very short, especially to the Alliance, but did considered a thought of some while weary of the Imperium.
Despite his animosity with the Jedi, he apologized to his brief friend Jax, only leaving him and the rest of the clone cadets to die at the insistence of Aurra Sing. He also told Aurra that while he wanted to kill Windu for Jango's death on Geonosis, he did not wish the crew of the Endurance any harm. Prior to the destruction of the Endurance, he incapacitated a clone trooper while infiltrating the reactor core, assuring him to not be worried about dying, which possibly meant that Fett harbored some sort of attachment to his clone brethren. However, he did not consider himself a "clone"—not in the same sense as the "modified and disposable" clone troopers. Regardless of whatever sentiment he might have felt for the other Fett clones, Boba Fett accepted a job as the mission commander of the 501st Legion during the Kamino Uprising—a battle that saw the complete extermination of rebel clones grown from the Jango Fett template.
Fett was also an expert marksman and had access to considerable weaponry. Despite having this high-tech arsenal, he was not dependent on it. In his search for the Butcher of Montellian Serat, Fett had to capture him without his armor, equipped only with a bow, some arrows, and a crystal knife, due to electronic detecting equipment installed on the Devaronian's compound. He was dedicated to whatever job he was doing, and would often suspend grudges if it meant completing his mission. Also, during his time with the Clone Youth Brigade, he was able to shoot down all of the targets with one shot each on the Endurance, while the other members couldn't even hit the targets.
In addition to his skills as a marksman, Fett was an extremely adept unarmed combatant. His combat skill, tactical ingenuity, and strength of will even allowed him to engage in personal combat with Darth Vader at one point and survive. While Fett did not exactly hold his own, and Vader's objective was not to kill him, Fett managed to both temporarily resist the Dark Lord's telepathic suggestions and surprise Vader by shooting him in the head. Unfortunately for Fett however, the shot did not penetrate his opponent's helmet, and Vader simply immobilized Fett with the Force when the fight began again.
As a boy, he was much more enthusiastic and open-minded until his father's death at Geonosis. The death of Boba Fett's father at the hands of the Jedi named Mace Windu, inspired within Boba a deep-seated animosity against not only Mace, but all Jedi. It was displayed when he first met the Viau version of Windu who still lived and was determined to kill him to gain vengence since he never had the chance years ago. But despite this, he seemed to have compassion for the rest of the Clone cadets, as he was shocked to find out that he had to abandon Jax, Hotshot, and Whiplash. The events following that tragedy shaped and scarred his life forever, resulting in a man who never went anywhere without his armor and weapons. He paid close attention to all details and double-checked his surroundings to calculate the best option to solve a problem. This helped Fett get the drop on IG-88 on Cloud City, who had placed a tracking device aboard Slave I prior to take-off to intercept Solo.
As an adult, Fett was very puritanical, and claimed he had not so much as held a woman in his arms. Similarly, he felt that sex between non-married individuals was immoral.
