Slave I
Modified Kuat Systems Engineering Firespray-Class Patrol and Attack Ship
	
	Slave I is Boba Fett's unique starship. It is quite similar to its
owner: dangerous and with many deadly suprises for those who would dare
challenge it.
	Slave I is a highly modified Firespreay-class patrol and attack ship
originally designed for law enforcement and interdiction duty. Fett has
rebuilt this outdated vessel to be the perfect bounty-hunting ship. It
has several hidden weapon systems, a dedicated sensor masking and
tracking system, interior prisoner cages, reinforced armor plating, and
powerful shield generators, all of which enable Fett to fend off
assailants and disable the craft of his quarry.
	The ship has an unusual aspect: it lands with its engines down, and in
flight, it flies effectively "standing up". Two thirds of Slave I's
interior is dedicated to the powerful Kuat Engineering Systems F-31
drive engines and the four Kuat X-F-16 power generators, giving Slave I
the speed of an Alliance Y-Wing fighter.
	The interior sections are cramped, containing only enough room for
Fett's living quarters, his equipment locker, and six prison cages,
which include a contraband Force cage to contain Force-using
individuals.
	The bottom rear section of the hull has fully rotating twin blaster
cannons. Slave I also conceals a forward-firing concussion-missile
launcher and ion cannon as well as a turret-mounted tractor-beam
projector and a pair of proton torpedo launchers that are also on a
turret. Combatants normally are so intent on avoiding the blaster cannon
s that they blunder right into the hidden torpedo launchers' field of
fire.
	In addition to combat-grade shields and sensors, Slave I has an illegal
sensor masking and jamming system that allows it to slip through sensor
grids undetected. This system, thought to be an Imperial Navy military
secret, was somehow acquired by Fett and has given him a decisive
advantage on many hunts. he can use this system to sneak onto many
worlds undetected, much to the dismay of his targets and planetary
law-enforcement agents. 
	Slave I has dummy proton torpedoes mounted with homing beacons and
S-thread trackers. By tagging a ship with one of these dummy beacons,
Fett can use his contraband 
HoloNet tranceiver to track ships through hyperspace. In other words,
once he has found you, it is almost impossible to dodge the infamous
Boba Fett.
	After Fett's apparent death, Slave I was captured by Rebel Alliance
forces and held in impound on the planet Grakouine. Fett managed to get
the ship back without alerting the New Republic that he was alive. In
his most recent encounter with Han Solo, Boba Fett used Slave I to chase
down the Millenium Falcon on the smuggler's moon of Nar Shaddaa, but
once again Solo evaded capture by his old foe.


Slave II MandalMotors Pursuer Enforcement Ship After escaping the jaws of the Sarlacc on Tatooine, bounty hunter Boba Fett vowed revenge on han Solo. Solo would pay, and so would the Hutt crime clans, if Solo was delivered to them. As Fett recovered from the encounter, he set into motion a plan. Slave I was in impound, but a new ship would help Fett keep a low profile until he actually confronted Solo. Fett picked out a MandalMotors Pursuer-class patrol ship that was popular with Malandorian police units because it was tough enough to handle pirates but had enough cargo space for standard policing duties. Using a false identity, Fett purchased the Slave II and began modifying this new prize for his hunt for Solo. Slave II is essentially a heavy patrol craft with a superior hull and powerful Torplex military-grade shield generators. Dual Tion Mil/Sce Mil-StarIV engines propel this ship, while three Corellian Engineering x41 manuvering thrusters are mounted in the port-side stabilizer brace. The three thrusters can be individually directed and provide excellant performance, especially for a heavy patrol ship. For weaponry, Slave II has forward-firing twin blaster cannons and an ion cannon turret. Fett, always a suspicious type, has a rear-firing torpedo launcher with a magazine of six torpedoes-an unwelcome suprise for anyone who has decided to follow too closely. Like Slave I, Slave II has a sophisticated sensor array system, although the ship at present lacks the stealth systems of Slave I. Rumors have suggested that Boba Fett placed five force field-enclosed prisoner cages aboard Slave II. Knowing that his prime target's best friend is a Wookiee, Fett probably also installed molecularly reinforced cell walls and gravitic restraints in his cells. Fett encountered Solo on the smuggler's moon of Nar Shaddaa, and the Corellian and his companions barely escaped. Slave II jumped into hot pursuit of the fleeing Millenium Falcon (which had been secreted aboard Salla Zen's Starlight Intruder). By cross-checking the Intruder's hyperspace vector, Fett was able to track Solo to the new Imperial capital of Byss. Slave II was severely damaged over Byss when Fett, attempting to follow the Falcon down to the planet's surface, smashed into the planetary shield. The stabilizer bar was ripped off in the crash, and the ship was disabled. All things considered, Fett got off lightly-if Slave II's shields had been down, the shield would have incinerated his ship. Rather than get the ship repaired, Fett has placed Slave II in drydock while retrieving Slave I to contimue his pursuit of Han Solo.
