A highly modified Firespray-class patrol and attack ship, it belomgs to the much-feared bounty hunter Boba Fett. Fett has rebuilt and customized the outdated Slave I. The vessel boasts several hidden weapon systems, a dedicated sensor-masking and tracking system, interior prisoner cages, reinforced armor plating, and powerful shield generators, all designed to help Fett fend off attackers and to disable the ships of his quarry. The ship lands with its engines down, although in flight, it effectively flies standing up. With two-thirds of its interior dedicated to powerful drive engines and generators, Slave I has the speed of an Alliance Y-wing fighter. The rest of the interior is cramped, with only enough room for Fett's living quarters, his equipment locker,and six prisoner cages, including one to contain Force-using individuals. The bottom rear section of the hull holds 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 turret-mounted proton torpedo launchers. The ship's illegal sensor-masking and jamming systems allows it to slip through sensor grids undetected. Dummy proton torpedoes mounted with homing beacons and trackers enable Fett to track ships even through hyperspace.
