| Quote: | In the Star Wars universe, Slave I is the primary spacecraft used by Jango Fett and later, Boba Fett. Jango Fett acquired this vessel while on a mission to locate Komari Vosa; this was the mission organized by Darth Tyranus to find the best candidate to be cloned to form a clone army. He used this ship to escape an exploding prison on an asteroid after his own ship was destroyed. Nobody ever searched for this ship as being missing from the prison as it was believed to be destroyed in the explosion of the prison. Slave I appears in the films Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
In the Star Wars canon, Jango Fett is the first acknowledged owner of Slave I. In Attack of the Clones, Jango flies the ship to Geonosis, where he dies in combat with Mace Windu. In The Empire Strikes Back, we find that Boba Fett has acquired Slave I in the interim.
In The Empire Strikes Back, Boba Fett uses the vessel, which is outfitted to contain prisoners, to deliver Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt after Darth Vader freezes Solo in carbonite.
While docked and during takeoff and landing, Slave I is oriented horizontally; but in flight, its wing pylons rotate 90°, perpendicular to the attitude of the ship, and the ship is propelled while oriented vertically. Two-thirds of the ships interior is dedicated to the powerful Kuat Engineering Systems F-31 drive engines and the four Kuat X-f-16 power generators, giving the ship the speed of an Alliance Y-wing fighter.
Both Jango and Boba Fett modified and rearmed Slave I. Under Jango Fett's ownership, its weaponry included twin blaster cannons, two rapid-firing laser cannons, two projectile launchers (each equipped with a magazine of three proton torpedoes or various other payloads), and a naval mine-layer equipped with three seismic charges, weapons powerful enough to easily bisect asteroids with a radius of five to ten kilometers. In addition to combat-grade shields and sensors, Slave 1 has an illegal sensor masking and jamming system that allows it to slip through sensor grids undetected. This system, thought ot be an Imperial navy Military secret, was somehow acquired by Fett and has given him a decisive advantage on many hunts. He can use the system to sneak onto worlds undeteced, much to the dismay of his targets and planetary law-enforcement. Slave 1 has dummy proton torpedoes mounted with homing beacons and S-thread trackers. By taging a ship with one of these dummy beacons, Fett can use his contraband HoloNet transceiver to track ships through hyperspace. In other words, once he has found you, it is almost impossible to dodge the infamous Boba Fett. |
