LEGENDS NEVER DIE

mandalore the desolate

jango fett was the son of farmers on the agricultural planet of concord dawn. his father served as a civilian lawman known as a journeyman protector after his predecessor — jaster mereel — joined the ranks of a sect known as true mandalorians. the man was a decent fighter in his own right but was no match for the likes of death watch. while hunting for jaster mereel, tor vizsla attacked the fett family. jango's mother and father fought back against the intruders, buying their son time to escape. they were cut down despite their valiance, their oldest daughter captured as their son ran for his life through the family's fields.the world jango knew burned all around him as he fled from the killers hot on his heels. by chance, the boy was rescued by jaster and his mandalorians who had taken refuge on the outskirts of the farm. the true mandalorians regrouped and routed a death watch raid on a nearby settlement. despite being a mere child, jango joined them. once in the fray, jango destroyed death watch's tank and shot the man who murdered his family.impressed by the boy's resolve, jaster adopted jango and raised the foundling as his own. for years, jango would fight alongside his surrogate father till the battle of korda six. jaster was betrayed by his second-in-command montross which resulted in his death. with their leader dead, fett inherited his father's position as mand'alor of the true mandalorians and would lead them with the same integrity as mereel until an incursion on galidraan nearly cost the young mand'alor his life.fett and his mandalorians were hired to disrupt an uprising on galidraan but were ambushed by death watch who had the support of the planetary governor. although jango escaped, the governor sent word to the jedi council that jango butchered political acitivist and their families ( a body count provided by vizsla ) and that galidraan was at its most desperate hour.

fett and his mandalorians were hired to disrupt an uprising on galidraan but were ambushed by death watch who had the support of the planetary governor. although jango escaped, the governor sent word to the jedi council that jango butchered political acitivist and their families ( a body count provided by vizsla ) and that galidraan was at its most desperate hour.the council believed the governor and sent a team lead by jedi master dooku and his apprentice komari vosa. fett was the sole survivor, his true mandalorian slaughtered before his eyes. weaponless, armed with only his beskar and his fists, jango vengefully killed six jedi before being subdued. an act that would seal his fate as a legend in galactic history.jango was turned over to the governor who sold him into slavery. the young warrior spent years imprisoned on a spice transport until a pirate attack gave him his chance to bloody his way to freedom. he returned to galidraan, reclaimed his armor, and secured the location of tor vizsla. jango tracked his nemesis down and engaged in a fight to the death. vengeful and relentless, jango grievously wounded vizsla with a blade and left the warlord to be eaten alive by a family of dire-cats.with the true mandalorians gone and death watch scattered, jango had little tying him to the people of mandalore. instead of leadership, jango fashioned himself a career in bounty hunting using the skills that got him through the civil war. he became distant and untrusting towards other beings except for two women: the human sheeka tull and his toydarian associate rozatta. with sheeka, jango tried his hand at a simple life but lost his lover after an attack on their ship that forced them into seperate escape pods. despite being the greatest bounty hunter of his time, jango was never able to find her.they would never see each other again.

meanwhile, the motherly rozatta was perhaps the only being jango considered a true friend. she gave him a place to live, valued him for the man he was rather than the skills he could provide, and was the only one he trusted in a life wrought with danger.

meanwhile, the motherly rozatta was perhaps the only being jango considered a true friend. she gave him a place to live, valued him for the man he was rather than just the skills he could provide, and was the only one he trusted in a life wrought with danger.in 32 bby, rozatta delivered a message to jango from a man calling himself tyranus. it was a bounty of five million credits placed on a name fett hadn't heard in a years: komari vosa, dooku's former apprentice. but jango wasn't the only one offered this opportunity. tyranus extended his invitation to several other hunters, one of which was another ghost from jango's past. montross was among the number fett would be competing with but the old traitor would forgo the bounty and track jango to his home on outland transit station instead. there, monstross would finally meet his end at the hands of mereel's foundling but not before murdering rozatta.

with her dying breath, the toydarian gifted jango fett her final wish. she wanted him to live for something more than credits. she believed he was a good and honorable man who deserved more from life than bounty hunting could ever give.fire renewed, jango tracked down komari vosa and the bando gora zealots she lead. during the climatic battle between hunter and prey komari was strangled by an unseen assailant who revealed himself to be tyranus. tyranus explained that this competition was a test to see if jango was truly the jedi killer the stories surrounding him claimed. he then offered jango a sweeter deal than the five million credits promised for komari vosa's head.jango would be rewarded with millions more if he became the genetic template for a clone army. as part of the deal, jango would reside on kamino to supply a continuous supply of material as well as oversee the training of the replicant soldiers. fett accepted but with one stipulation —he wanted a single, unaltered clone for himself. a son. an heir to jaster mereel's legacy, an answer to the question of what should've been with sheeka tull, and payment of respect to the wishes of a dying friend.for the next ten years, jango fett resided in tipoca city where he raised his unaltered son and partook in the creation of dooku's clone army. not only was jango their genetic template, he also oversaw the development of their equipment and training. to aid him, jango created the cuy'val dar: a force of a hundred mercenaries and mandalorians who gave up their freedom to answer the mand'alor's call.while all in his circle of were responsible for transforming the clones into an elite fighting force, jango and his associate kal skirata had their own pet projects. there was a need for covert operatives thus the arc initiative was born.the project produced to lines of warriors: the "defective" null-class and the perfected alpha-class. the six remaining null were taken in by skirata before they were terminated by the kaminoans while jango personally mentored the alphas. the initiative produced not soldiers, but warriors befitting of the combat lineage passed on by their mandalorian masters.

in 22 bby jango went on an off-world mission at the behest of his separatist employer. the bounty hunter's longtime associate zam wesell accompanied him and subsequently failed to eliminate their target. to avoid being traced back to kamino, jango killed zam before his retreat. unbeknownst to him, the saberdart he used to eliminate his friend would be traceable by a rare manufacturing detail.hunted once again by the jedi, jango fett was forced to flee from kamino with his son. he gifted boba a holobook containing a guide to survival and a farewell recording were the worst to happen. boba was not to activate it until it was time for jango once the boy did his childhood would be over. and that was the one thing jango wished for boba to have: the luxury of innocence jango fett could never afford.jango was executed several days later by the jedi champion mace windu, leaving his son to face the cruel galaxy alone.

no one's ever lied to me twice

DUAL WESTAR-34S: custom-made with hollow grips, these blaster pistols were manufactured with jango's notorious quickdraw in mind. dallorian alloy allowed the blasters to absorb heat and sustain jango in sustained close-quarter combat.WRIST-GAUNTLETS: handcrafted and equipped with various hostile attachments:

ASSORTMENT HANDHELDS: jango possessed a palm-sized sonic beam weapon with a high-frequency screamer chip as well as a field security overloader.KNEE-PAD DART LAUNCHER: armed with a 25-meter range, the small rocket launcher utilized several munition capabilities: a cocktail of two potent neurotoxins lethal to most species — malkite themfar and fex-m3, molecular acid, stun agents, and explosive tips.

you're not worth my time dead or alive

MITRINOMON Z-6 JETPACK: the model favored by mandalorians and one of the two jango used. its bulk came from its fuel tanks which allowed its thrusters to be used continuously or in three short blasts at a time. switching between the two allowed for aerial flexibility. on average, each blast could carry jango around 100-meters horizontally and 70-meters vertically at a top speed of 145 kph for a distance of two kilometers before running the risk of overheating. an onboard computer linked to the helmet mainframe had a targeting system linked to either a turbo-projected magnetic grappling hook with a 20 to 100-meter lanyard and a 100 kg weight limit or an anti-vehicle homing missile. the z-6's directional thrusters provided maneuverability via gyro-stabilizers.

MERR-SONN JT-12 JETPACK: a smaller, more compact variation that allowed for short and long range burst jumps. it had an mm9 missile launcher and operated with the same specs as the z-6. however, it was not a heavily armored as it's mitrinomon cousin and sacrificed protection for its weight.

BESKAR PLATING: the hallmark of the mandalorian warrior, each piece was forged from a nigh-indestructible alloy.HELMET & MAINFRAME: made for war, jango's helmet was equipped with a fire control battle computer that allowed for verbal commands over sensors, weapons, and his jetpack. his equipment was tied to the mainframe located in his helmet but maintained self-contained processors should the network ever be compromised. integrated motion and sound sensors that could detect some of the lowest decibels from 100-meters away and an internal comlink that could broadcast encrypted transmission as well as standard frequencies. his comlink also connected to slave i and could summon her from a maximum of 90 kilometers away. a macrobinocular viewplate with an infrared scanner fed by an electronic rangefinder displayed a live feed of data collected from a 360° radius, a weapons display, and came with recording capabilities. it provided 50 times magnification and heat gradation tracking. a protruding external rangefinder attached to the right-side could follow up to thirty targets. at its base was a broad-band antenna that intercepted and unscrambled transmissions from comlinks and starships. the helmet also provided life-support, a filtration system, and two hours of oxygen that could withstand even the vacuum of space.

kind of a ruthless ring to it — fits your personality

AMPHIBIOUS INTERSTELLAR ASSAULT TRANSPORT/INFANTRY: a gunship previously owned by jango's adoptive father and mentor, he inherited the craft upon jaster's death and renamed it in his honor. it served jango for many years but was ultimately destroyed during his hunt for komari vosa in 32 bby. manufactured by kuat drive yards, it was a hefty beast. she was 31.5 meters long, 12.5 meters high, with a 30 meter girth at the wings. the legacy was equipped with a hyperdrive and two oversized sublight engines and reached speeds of 700 kph in atmosphere. her armaments included twin laser turrets with a third at the rear, five concussion missile launchers with a compliment of additional weaponry. the cargo hold was 350 cubic meters that could safely transport several vehicles. six prisoners fit in the cell block and more than platoon of fully armed soldiers could be ferried comfortably with what roomed remained. along with a captain and crew of three, the ship natively came with a im-6 battlefield medical droid.

FIRESPRAY-CLASS STARSHIP: a patrol and attack craft commandeered by jango fett from desolation alley on oovo iv in the immediate aftermath of the legacy's destruction. jango completely modified the ship and christened it slave i in remembrance for his time imprisoned on a spice transport. slave i was the perfect pursuit craft for one of the most infamous bounty hunters in galactic history. manufactured by a subsidiary of kuat drive yards, it measured 21.5 meters in length with a width of 21.3 meters at her wings. it came equipped with built-in navigation, a class 1 hyperdrive, a backup drive, short-range sensors, hefty shielding capabilities, and could reach speeds of 1000 kph in atmosphere. it could house a crew of three and six passengers reasonably with two months of consumables and safely transport up to 40 metric tons of cargo. the only weapons left from her initial construction were twin rotating blaster cannons but even those have been heavily modified. through fett ingenuity, slave i was adept at making short work of fleeing craft with laser and ion canons, proton torpedos, concussion missiles, a tractor beam, and most notorious of all — a choir of seismic charges.
