Hey everybody and welcome to Leia’s Lair. Today’s video will continue our series
about the different Star Wars Ships in canon. The ship we will be going over today is the Slave I.
The Slave I was a modified Firespray-31-class
patrol and attack craft that was used by the infamous Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett
before the Clone Wars, and then later by his unaltered cloned son Boba Fett.
The ship in its original form was produced by a subsidiary company of Kuat Drive Yards.
During its time under Jango, the Slave I was a very effective and customized ship,
armed with superior shielding technology, high levels of endurance, and an arsenal of hidden
and overt weapons. When Boba took over the ship, he made his own modifications, such as heavy-duty
shield generators, several new weapons systems, and various types of auxiliary sensor systems.
One of the modifications being a secret military sensor,
which could be used for jamming and masking, allowing the ship to disappear
from the majority of scanning systems. Although they remained hidden, the Slave
I had enough weaponry to take out heavily armed ships. Apart from the twin blaster cannons,
the rest were hidden to help give off the appearance that it was only lightly armed.
The interior of the ship included a deck situated on a gyro system,
allowing the occupants to stay upright no matter what position the ship was in.
The ship also had a holoprojector in the main cabin, as well as six chairs for passengers.
The artificial gravity on each deck re-oriented depending on the flight mode the ship was in.
In the cockpit, sensor scopes displayed readouts for the starship’s navigation, atmospheric data,
and weapons systems. “He doesn’t seem to take a hint, this guy.” Jango Fett originally stole
the Slave I from Oovo IV, a prison moon that Firespray attack craft were used to guard.
The ship was used in a dogfight over Geonosis against Obi-wan Kenobi’s Jedi starfighter.
“Well we won’t be seeing him again.” After Jango’s death, the craft came into the
possession of his son Boba, who used it in his failed quest to kill Jedi Master Mace Windu.
Boba travelled with Aurra Sing, Castas, and Bossk to planet Florrum
to meet spice pirate Hondo Ohnaka. However, after Plo Koon and Ahsoka Tano arrived,
Fett and Bossk were captured. Aurra tried to escape on the Slave I, but crashed and was
presumed dead. Ohnaka had pulled her from the crash site and took ownership of the Slave I
for a short period of time before it returned to Boba’s ownership near the end of the Clone Wars.
Boba used the Slave I when tasked by the Empire to capture Han Solo.
We see the Slave I again when Boba and his partner Fennec Shand fly to Tython to get his
armor. Boba uses the ship to help Din Djarrin in his plan to save Grogu from Moff Gideon.
The first time we see the Slave I in canon was in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
Some notable users of this ship include Jango Fett, Boba Fett, Aurra Sing, and Hondo Ohnaka
