Boba Fett - [Back to Top]
Boba Fett was born as Jaster Mereel on the Planet Concord Down, where he was a respected Journeyman Protector. He was exiled after killing a corrupt colleague. From then on he began to call himself Boba Fett. He began to wear the armor of the Mandalore super-commandos, a group of evil warriors who were defeated by the Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars. And got work as a Bounty Hunter. Soon he was known as the best and was even hired by Darth Vader, who hated to work with scum, but knew they could be useful sometimes. But most of his bounties were offered by the crime lord Jabba the Hutt. Since he is the best he's also the most expensive bounty hunter in the known systems. He collected 150,000 credits for the capture of pirate Feldrall Okor, and took a record 500,000 credits when he caught the religious Ffib heretic Nivek'Yppiks for the Lohrans. He once rescued Luke Skywalker, when he crashed on the red water moon of the Panna system. Luke and Han were knocked out by a virus, so Boba Fett and Chewie searched for an antidote. While doing that, Fett contacted Lord Vader, informing him of the presence of the rebels and especially Skywalker. That message was intercepted by R2-D2 and C3PO, so they knew what he was up to. After curing Luke and Han, Luke offered him a place in the rebellion, but the droids told Luke about the contact Fett had with Vader. Boba Fett's plan had failed, and he had to run off. Boba Fett met Skywalker again when he was trying to capture "the Mole", a wanted man because he left the service of Darth Vader. Piloting a TIE fighter, Fett was chased down by Luke Skywalker in an X-wing. Luke chased the mercenary's ship through ice canyons of the frozen world of Ota, and both ships crashed. Fett got the drop on Luke, but both of them were captured by the apelike Snogars. The Snogars' city was growing colder, and they were convinced the off worlders could restore their heat-providing machines. Meanwhile, Han, Chewie, Leia Organa, and the droids had come to Ota to find Luke. While Luke and Boba made a break from the Snogars, Han himself was captured. Ever the opportunist, Boba agreed to go with Luke to rescue Han, planning to capture the smuggler for profit. In a wild sequence of events, the Rebels and "the Mole" were caught between the Snogars and Fett. When Fett tried to take both the Mole and Han prisoner, the Mole used a giant magnet to pin the bounty hunter to the wall. The Rebels and the Mole made their respective escapes, Fett swearing vengeance yet again. When Jabba the Hutt raised a bounty on Solo's head, Boba Fett was the first to chase him. Working on both sides made more profit, this was the first time Fett met Vader in person. Darth Vader manipulated more Bounty Hunters and made them work together, so Bossk, Dengar, Skorr and Boba Fett made a team. They captured Han Solo and Luke Skywalker and took them to the planet Ord Mantell. But Fett underestimated the power of the force and was taken by surprise by Luke's powers. So Han Solo escaped him again. Now it was Darth Vader, who called in the help of the best Bounty Hunters in the galaxy. They came to the Super Star Destroyer "The Executor", where Darth Vader asked them to turn Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon in for an enormous bounty. Fett had already studied Han Solo and knew what he was going to do, so he followed him to Cloud city. There he captured Solo with assistance of the Dark Lord and received his bounty from him. But Jabba also wanted Solo, because of that Fett had to go to Tatooine. Getting his first double bounty. On his way he was troubled by some fellow Bounty Hunters who were a bit jealous. But they were no match for Boba Fett. This wasn't the first time he had trouble with other hunters since he is a truly freelance hunter, he has been in some trouble with the Guild for a long time. Getting out of hyperspace he was awaited by IG-88 C, since he killed IG-88 B, he wanted revenge, he shot the ship, and saw that it was nothing more than a decoy, at that same time, with droid accuracy, the real IG-2000 came from hyperspace. Blaster fire was hitting the Slave I and Boba Fett was outmaneuvered. But, he speeded up his ship, going for the Tatooine desert with dazzling speed. His ship was almost falling apart, IG-2000 followed, and suddenly Boba Fett stopped his ship, destroying most parts of the hull, but IG-2000 raced past the Slave I. Now Boba Fett had a perfect target, shooting the Slave I's blasters, he easily destroyed the IG-2000, taking IG-88 C&D with it. At the execution of Solo and his friends, Boba Fett was thrown into the Sarlacc Pitt. There he suffered, some pain, but after some days he could activate his jetpack but it exploded, this paralyzed the Sarlacc for a while, but burnt Boba Fett severely. But since the Sarlacc had no control on him anymore, he shot his rocket launcher into the Sarlacc, after this he found himself in the heat of the Tatooine twin suns. Many people think Boba Fett was killed, but he wasn't, well not yet, Dengar found him and treated him for some time, but a guy like Boba Fett isn't save even when he's death. So when being treated by Dengar, Kuat of Kuat did some bombing on the Dune Sea. This did their hideout collapse and they had to run for their lives, well Boba wasn't in that shape, so he was carried. They ended somewhere in the Sarlacc tunnels, some people made the mistake to think that Boba Fett could be killed, and some thought that the Sarlacc was killed. While climbing to the surface, tentacles from the Sarlacc, grab Neelah, a dancing girl from Jabba's Palace. She had some strange interests in Boba Fett. Dengar tried to shoot the Sarlacc, but his blaster fell, thinking all the time that BobaFett hanging death on the rope, he was surprised by the sudden action. Probably the extreme hatred he carried towards the Sarlacc, made it possible for Fett to dig into his last energy, grabbing the blaster from the air and firing, with no need to aim, at the Sarlacc. It made the Sarlacc cry and they were able to escape. Boba Fett took them to his hideout, where he healed. During that time he put his armor back together, once again becoming the galaxy most feared Bounty Hunter. Boba Fett's ship, the Slave-I is a highly-modified Kuat Firespray-31 cargo ship. Unique in its design, very little of the original Firespray-31 that forms Slave-I remains, as Boba Fett has made changes to support his lifestyle as bounty hunter. Slave-I's outer hull has been reinforced with plating and ray shielding, to compensate for reduced particle shielding. The hull is formed from a magnetically-polarized metal, making it the perfect electromagnetic receptor. This allows the ship to collect magnetic energies from the surrounding space - including the signals and pulses of pursuing ships - and reflect them as so much static. This jams the pursuer's sensors, making Slave-I nearly invisible. Boba Fett has also dampened the ship's particle vapor trail to further eliminate proof of its passage. The ship appears to bear only a pair of twin-mounted blaster cannons on the tip of the command/cargo section, although rumors abound about hidden ion cannons, concussion missile launchers, and a powerful tractor beam. The ship's engines have been modified for speed. The Kuat Systems Engineering F-31 sublight engines provide an intense burst of power when first activated. This reduces maneuverability but increases the likelihood of Fett's capturing his quarry before it can escape. These are pared with four KSE X-F-16 power generators to provide that burst of speed. The ship's hyperdrive has also been updated, allowing for quick jumps to out race a victim to their destination. The ship's interior has never been seen, but it is rumored to have a large enough hold to contain a force cage. Various hull reinforcements are also rumored to be present, to keep the cage from being jostled by larger races. There isn't a great deal of cargo space, for much of it has been given over to housing the ship's engines and power generators. |
Bossk - [Back to Top]
Dengar - [Back to Top]
![]() When he was a young adult, Dengar had been a successful swoop jockey on the popular Ferini team. Swoops were dangerous repulsorlift bikes, and Dengar had been racing them since his childhood, becoming a cult hero throughout the Corellian system. With the Ferini team, he became even more popular, gaining endorsement contracts and even higher wages and winnings. But the controlled world of professional, tour swoop racing was not what held Dengar's attention. The private tour called to Dengar - wild and dangerous, and with one major challenge. A young Corellian named Han Solo had become a popular swoop jockey on the private circuit, and Dengar was constantly being compared to him. Finally, tired of the comparisons, Dengar challenged Solo to a winner-takes all race across the dangerous crystal swamps of Agrilat. Even though Solo had been accepted into the Imperial Academy of Caridia, he couldn't refuse the challenge. The swoop race was one of the most-watched events in the Corellian system, and the two racers seemed evenly matched - until the final stretch. Solo sped to a lower altitude, zooming through the dangerous underbrush and pulling ahead slightly. Dengar decided to go one better and swooped closer to the swamps, taking an even lower approach. As he cleared the last bit of foliage before the straightaway to the target, Dengar didn't realize Solo was directly above him. Dengar pulled his swoop up and crashed into Solo's main repulsor fin. The impact left him badly burned, with major cranial trauma. While he was recovering, he also received word he had been kicked out of professional swoop racing for engaging in the illegal race with Solo. Dengar's life was destroyed, and he held Han Solo responsible.
Although he eventually healed, Dengar carried a burning hatred for Solo. For a time, he worked as a gladiator, but eventually, he found another calling: The Empire wanted him as an assassin. They would train him and provide him with equipment that might help balance his mind - unstable since the accident. Records about Dengar's time in service to the Empire - and subsequent departure - have not yet been found. He was transformed by the Empire into an assassin without any conscience. All superfluous emotions were stripped. This would make his work a lot easier. When he learned there was a galaxy-wide bounty on Solo's head, he decided to become a bounty hunter. Outfitting himself with body-protecting blast armor and major weaponry, Dengar eventually came into the employ of Jabba the Hutt. The ex-racer's success ratio over the following decade was debatable. Of the twenty-three bounties he had collected, only six were alive. Shortly before the Battle of Hoth, Boba Fett gathered several bounty hunters, including Bossk, Dengar, and Skorr, to find Han Solo. The hunters captured him along with Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca. While bringing the trio to Ord Mantrell, the hunters were taken by surprise when Luke used his Force powers to engineer the Alliance members' escape. He was also one of the hunters essambled, by the Dark Lord, to hunt for Solo. Dengar searched the astroidfield, but didn't find anything there. But then the scopes flared, signaling that something was moving, after the Imperials had gone into hyperspace. It was the Millenium Falcon, Dengar was tracing it for a while, when he got an incomming signal. It was Boba Fett, telling Dengar that Solo was his bounty. Then an alarm went off, and a bomb exploded in the Punishing One, Dengar' ship. It wasn't a bomb to kill him, just to stop him. So it took him a little longer to get to Cloudcity. Two hours after his arrival Imperial troops were already taking over the city. So he had to flee, seeing Boba Fett leave and knowing that his ship was to slow to catch up with Fett. But he knew were Fett was going to, Tatooine, home of the crime-lord Jabba the Hutt. To deliver his trophy, and Dengar would be around if Solo was to be killed, or to escape. He was there the night before the execution, celebrating that his long life enemy would finally be punished. So he drunk to much, missing the Sail barge. And what happened there. But he heard the news, so he went to the Dune Sea, looking for valuables. And especially for Jabba's body, but that had already been taken by the Hutts. ![]() So he wandered a long the burning Sail barge, and the Sarlacc Pitt, when he noticed a living body. Boba Fett had survived the Sarlacc, well survived, he was still breathing. This was something valuable, Boba Fett had a lot of enemies, wanting to pay for this information. So Dengar decided to take care of Boba Fett, since Boba Fett offered him a partnership. Boba Fett was healing slowly, due to the severe burnings he had suffered from the Sarlacc acid. But Dengar wasn't the only person who was aware of the miraculous survival of Boba Fett. While talking with Fett suddenly a thunder begun, TIE-bombers were bombing the surface, things were collapsing and the had to run and carry Fett. Fett took them to his hideout, and Dengar was starting to feel uncomfortable when seeing Boba Fett turning into the terrifying Bounty Hunter again. So he decided to try to get some profit from Fett, being alive. So he send a message to Kuat of Kuat, the head of the Kuat Drive Yards. One of the most powerfull men in the Galaxy. How this ended will be know soon. But Boba Fett survived and even did some jobs with Dengar. Dengar and Boba Fett chased Solo on Nar Shaddaa, but failed to catch him. Dengar is still around, and since he's known as Payback, he'll get to Solo sooner or later.

Greedo - [Back to Top]
![]() Greedo was born on Rodia. He had to flee from there and began a new life on a jungle planet. This all because of a clan war. When they were finally tracked by the men who killed his father, they flee again to the Corellian Sector to start all over again. One day, Greedo witnessed two bounty hunters, Spurch "Warthog" Goa and Dyyz Nataz, killing a rogue Imperial spice inspector. When the two hunters were attacked by a towering cyborg named Gorm, Greedo managed to save their lives by killing the attacker. They offered him half the bounty or the tricks of becoming one, he choose to become one. ![]() He learned all the tricks and became a bounty hunter. He learnt that some rebels were hiding in the quarter where he lived, 88. So he collected a large bounty when he briefed this information to the imps. While the imperials attacked the quarter, the whole quarter exploded killing all what was left of his family. He escaped, and went to Tattooine, were he decided to work for Jabba the Hutt. Jabba gave him a contract and asked for Solo, when he heard that Solo was in town he rushed to the Mos Eisley cantina, to find Solo. While talking to Solo he didnīt understand that he was messing with the wrong guy. Pulling the tricker and his gun to slow, while Solo was quicker, he was shot dead. So he would never get a ship called the Manka Hunter. While on Nar Shaddaa, prior to his bounty hunting career, Greedo had picked out an Incom Corsair that was currently in Shug Ninx's shop. Once he raised the 14,000 credits for it, he would name it the Manka Hunter, after a large feline species his race hunted. Wuher, the owner of the cantina, decided to take Greedo's odiferously potent body and blood and process them into a new drink. The result was one of the most powerful drinks he had ever tasted, and most likely the Rodian bounty hunter was sold out in a very short span of time.

IG-72 - [Back to Top]
One of the original series of IG assassin droid prototypes, designed by Holowan Laboratories, was powered up by IG-88A. IG-72 refused to accept superior self-replicating sentience programming offered by IG-88, preferring to remain independent. After killing his creators alongside the other IG-series droids, IG-72 went off on his own, occasionally resurfacing when he worked on a hunt, after such a hunt he would vanish again into the galactic underworld. IG-72 self-destructed in an attempt to capture Republican hero Adar Tallon, killing Tatooine perfect Orun Depp in the process. |
IG-88 - [Back to Top]
IG-88 is an Imperial Assassin droid, developed by Holowan
laboratories. When he awoke he became sentience and killed the employers.
He took his three counterparts with him, and also the droid known as
IG-72. IG-88 A saw that the other three IG-88īs werenīt as sentience as
he was, so he copied his sentience being into their systems, IG-72 had his
own sentience and decided to go his own way with a ship he stole. The four
IG-88īs also stole a ship and left Holowan laboratories.
The four IG-88's headed to the droid manufacturing planet Mech III. There IG-88 A transferred his sentience to all the droids on the planet, IG-88 C overrode the planetary defense system and IG-88 D downloaded full details on the planet. IG-88 A activated all the droids on the planet and made them start to revolt. So they took over the planet killing the 8 humans working there. They made everything look normal to the outside world, so they could prepare the droid-revolution by implanting all the droids with a sentience being which could be activated by the IG-88īs. But things werenīt going as planned when an imperial spy started some rumors about the IG-88's and Mechis III. To distract attention from their plans at Mechis III, IG-88 B started to work as a bounty hunter. He was very successful and therefore was asked to track down Solo. Meanwhile, back on Mechis III, the other three IG-88īs were in for an unpleasant surprise. Darth Vader had landed on the planet, demanding to speak with the supervisor. Using video clips, the assassin droids were able to convince the Dark Lord that all went well with his recent order of Imperial Probe Droids. Of course, the probe droids were sentient as well, and they relayed all information collected to the assassin droids. He arrived just to late at Cloud city, and IG-88 B was shoot dead by Boba Fett. Because of that IG-88 C and B wanted revenge and went after Fett. They had a fire fight but lost it and they were destroyed with their ship IG-2000. The last IG-88 droid was now apart of the Death Star 2, he had read the secret plans on the Executor. So he build a new computer core for the Death Star, exactly the same the only difference would be that he would be inside of it. He captured the computer core and also killed his designer with it and was now a part of the Death Star. He was about to begin his revolution when the central core exploded taking the last IG-88 down. ![]() IG-2000, IG-88's needle-shaped Aggressor assault fighter, it was heavily modified from its original condition. IG-88 installed a Galaxy-15 ion engine, which he forced-fed with three Quadex power cores. IG-88 also added weapons upgrades and a pair of tractor beam generators mounted on the forward mandibles. The droid also disabled the ship's inertial compensators, for it felt none of the effects experienced by organics. ![]()

Jodo Kast - [Back to Top]
Jodo Kast the bounty hunter who pursued Ponda Baba through
Truuzdann. He wears Mandlorian shocktrooper armor, similar to that worn by
Boba Fett, although it is unknown if his armor is as modified. Jodo Kast
patterned his own life after Boba Fett, and often let his quarry assume he
was the famous bounty hunter. He often got jobs for his resemblance to
Fett, when the party posting the bounty wanted Fett's reputation but
couldn't afford it. Jodo Kast teamed up with Puggles Trodd and Zardra when
he was approached by Captain Parlan to hunt down Adar Tallon. Kast is a
ruthless and cunning bounty hunter.
Of course this scheme couldnīt last forever, Boba Fett isnīt someone to mess with. So after his so called demise, Boba Fett took up the plan to rid the world of one more imposter. He visited one of the newly formed Bounty Hunter Guilds, he had left his armor behind so no one would recognize him. He hired Kast for a job, and things were set. He went to the place were the so called bounty could be collected. He was in full armor and had Dengar with him serving as back up. When Jodo Kast saw it was Fett he was shocked, but knew he had to for what he was wearth otherwise he would die. They fighting was intense, and just when Jodo Kast thought he would survive Fett stroke his final blow, blasting Kast down on the ground. Boba Fett had hit him with an nerve toxic arrow, he removed all of Kast his armor, revealing his true identity, he was no one. Fett left the complex, when the Slave II took off the whole complex was blown into pieces, taking the remains of Jodo Kast with it. |
Zuckuss - [Back to Top]
Zuckuss is a Gand bounty hunter employed by Darth Vader to
find the Millennium Falcon. He descended from a long line of successful
findsmen, and was one of the few young findsmen who left Gand to find work
in the galaxy. He had a uncanny knack for finding his quarry, which he
attributed to his adherence to elaborate and arcance rituals. Zuckuss flew
in a heavily-modified starship known as the Mist Hunter, built by a
consortium of Gands he led. He was hired by Jabba the Hutt, and was
eventually paired with 4-LOM on many bounty missions.
During one such mission, a female acquisition struggled to escape, and pulled off the mask Zuckuss wore to keep in the ammonia atmosphere he breathes. The reflexive breaths of oxygen he inhaled severely burned his lungs, and left Zuckuss disabled. Thus, he and 4-LOM began accepting Hunts on the side, trying to obtain enough credits to pay off new lungs. For this reason, Zuckuss and 4-LOM brought down Imperial Governor Nardix for the Alliance. This placed them on the Empire's Most Wanted list, but Jabba retained them anyway. Jabba sent the two to Darth Vader as unofficial emissaries to the Empire, and they entered the Hoth System as the Battle of Hoth was concluding. The pair disabled the transport ship Bright Hope, in hopes of appeasing the Empire. After accepting the Hunt, they attempted to capture the survivors on the Hope, to turn them into the Empire for their combined bounties. However, the Alliance personnel managed to turn the two hunters from Imperial service. Zuckuss worked with 4-LOM and Toryn Farr to rescue the crew of the Hope, and they fled to the Alliance rendezvous point beyond the galactic core. There, the Alliance healed Zuckuss' lungs while accepting the two hunters into their ranks. General Rieekan enlisted the two hunters in the rescue attempt on Han Solo. They worked with several other hunters to intercept Boba Fett on Gall, but failed to recover Solo's body. Zuckuss himself was captured and used as Fett's stand-in, during the delivery of Solo's frozen body to Jabba the Hutt. Fett dressed the Gand in Mandalorian armor, and put 4-LOM's inert form on a repulsorsled. When they emerged from Slave-I, Jabba's minions attacked them, only to discover their true identity as Fett held them off. Zuckuss' exact whereabouts following the death of Jabba are unknown. ![]() The Mist Hunter is a fairly small ship designed for a one or two person crew. It is not heavily armed, but it is shielded quite well, and is very fast. Zuckuss' ship has several prisoner cells, and carries up to 10 prisoners at a time. The ship is always filled with the gases that Zuckuss needs to survive instead of oxygen. Thus, even if a prisoner managed to escape their cell, they would walk into an environment that was fatally poisonous to them. |
