Boba Fett journeys to the isolated world of Ma'ar Shaddam to have his armor mended. During this time, a band of bounty hunters makes an attempt on his life while he is without his armor. Clad only in a robe, he deceives some of the hunters, causing them to eliminate one another. He then defeats another with his bare hands, seizing the deceased hunter's weapon. The leader of the bounty hunters then absconds with Fett's Mandalorian armor and his ship, Slave I. Using the ship's weaponry, the leader bombards the structure where Fett is located. Thinking that Fett is dead, the leader goes to a local cantina, pretending to be him. Fett then appears, donning Jango's previous armor, reclaiming his own armor but allowing the imposter to live to be reminded of who the superior one is.
