Boba Fett (NJO Era)

An Expanded Universe Character from The Unifying Force

By Cory Herndon

Long thought dead by many, Boba Fett -- possibly the last surviving clone of Jango -- has survived many brushes with death over the years. As the Yuuzhan Vong invade the galaxy, Fett mysteriously reappears with a band of Mandalorian hunters at his side. Fett and his team aid Han Solo and Princess Leia against the Yuuzhan Vong, though as always, Fett's true motivations are unclear. Is he bent merely on hunting the Vong? Or will he join the shattered forces of the Republic and the Jedi he has hated for so long?

Heroes encountering Boba Fett during this era will usually find him with four to six other Mandalorians with similar armament, though he alone carries a jet pack. Older and wiser, Boba Fett remains as dangerous as ever. He flies a familiar Firespray-class attack/patrol ship modified to his personal specifications, usually flanked by at least four Mandalorians in Gladiator fighters. Though unpredictable, he may help the heroes if his objectives coincide with his own -- and if the heroes are not Yuuzhan Vong.
