After being frozen in Carbonite on Cloud City, Bespin, Han Solo was collected by notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett, ready to be taken back to Jabba the Hutt at his palace on Tatooine… Getting Solo to Tatooine however, won’t be so easy once the rest of the Galaxy hears about his value to Jabba… So, lets find out what Boba Fett did immediately after collecting Han Solo, and how his actions spark a war of the bounty hunters…
So the story begins on route from Bespin to the sandy world of Tatooine, aboard Boba’s Fett’s infamous slave 1. On board, boba states at the frozen Han, while opening up a comms line with Jabba’s right hand man, Bib Fortuna. Boba tells bib that he’s got Jabba’s package, and in Huttese Bib wants to make sure that Han is alive, as the bounty originally stated. Boba assures Bib that Han will be arriving on Tatooine alive very soon, and to make sure Jabba has his credits ready to go, because he doesn’t need any complications…
Just as he says this however, the carbonite freezing chamber begins blaring out an alarm tone, worrying Boba that his target might be unfreezing, and worrying Bib on the other end of the line even more. Boba is forced to hang up on Bib, ensuring him that he will call back, but right now there are more pressing matters at hand. Han is slowly unfreezing from the carbonite, and Boba needs to move quickly if he wants to stop it. At this point, Boba only knows one man who can fix his issue, so he immediately jumps to hyperspace to visit him.
Following this, Boba arrives on the Smuggler’s moon, Nar Shaddaa, where he lands at the medical clinic of one of his local contacts. HIs contact is a besalisk, the same species as Dexter Jettster. Boba quickly tells his old friend that the renowned Han Solo is inside the carbonite, and once he is delivered to Boba, the Besalisk doctor will receive double his usual fee… If he can keep him alive. The doc reminisces that Solo was always the king of Bad Choices… and is somber to see that they finally caught up to him. Doc Ragon however tells Boba that he doesnt work on credit, and instead needs cash up front. Boba clearly doesn’t have the cash, to the doc offers another method of payment. He wants Boba to travel to a nearby gladiator pit, and to enter the ongoing competition, to assassinate a fighter named Wyrmen Lictor, who cost the doctor a lot of of money in the past.
Boba is initially very hesitant to get involved in his doctor’s personal beef, and doesn’t want any more enemies than he already has, but With Han quickly thawing out… He really doesn’t have a choice. Boba wants to kill this target on the spot, but Doc Ragon warns the bounty hunter that he’ll have to bust through about a thousand of her guards to get to her… In the gladiator arena however, anything goes. It’s his best chance of kill her.
