    (Jango)

    As a boy Jango Fett lived as a farmer on Concord Dawn, living a quiet life with his parents and sister. When his father chose to hide the Mandalorian hero Jaster Mereel and his team of " True Mandalorians" from the Mandalorian Death Watch Jango's life was forever changed. His family was killed and Jaster took Jango with his True Mandalorian Army. Jango led Jaster's men to safety where they quickly set up a counter attack in a near by town. During the assault on the Death Watch, Jango played a key role in destroying a Death Watch tank. His bravery and already promising battle prowess earned him a spot under Jaster's wing. Under Jaster he would learn the ways of the True Mandalorians and rise to prominence. Soon he was in control of one of three main battle groups. The other leaders were Jaster and Montross. The latter was in command of aerial jet pack units and despised Jango who was viewed as next in line for leadership.

    Jango's men were part of the rescue mission on Korda-6 that turned out to be a trap. The deceit was a plan by the Death Watch to ambush the True Mandalorians. Jango discovered it was a Death Watch trap and raced back to help Jaster who had been mortally wounded. The only one close enough to save him was Montross who let Jaster die in a bid for leadership. The True Mandalorians elected Jango as their leader citing Montross' betrayal and Jango's closeness to their former leader. Jango would be a very successful leader until a fateful mission on Galidraan. His men were sent to stop a coup that was yet another Death Watch trap.

    There was no coup and the Death Watch had been killing innocents while they sent a distress call to the Jedi. They described Mandalorians killing everyone in sight; which the Jedi sent a strike team to quell. The strike team was led by then Jedi Knight, Count Dooku. All of Jango's men were slain before him which sent him into a fury. He killed 7 Jedi with his bare hands. He was eventually captured and sold into slavery, though he would escape shortly after. Once freed he reclaimed his armor and went after the Death Watch. Jango Killed their leader, destroying their ship in the process. His actions would gain the attention of Count Dooku who used the only other survivor of Galidraan to get info on Jango's whereabouts. Jango then met with Dooku for a series of trials that would determine him the Prime Clone material for the Republic's Clone Army.

    Jango accepted the job on the condition that he would have one unaltered clone for himself. Pitting Fett with all the top bounty hunters in the galaxy to claim a bounty on Kamari Vosa, the dark Jedi leader of the Bando Gora. At the battle of Geonosis, Jango was beheaded by the Jedi master Mace Windu, causing Boba to have a mortal hatred for the jedi. All of Jango's earned bounty money and armors were transferred to Boba's possession.
