Boba Fett sleeps in his bacta tank. In the past, after scouting what used to be Jabba's palace, now occupied by Bib Fortuna, he discovers Fennec Shand in the Tatooine desert. The assassin has been left for dead, and Fett takes her to a mod-parlor. They save her life, outfitting the mercenary with cybernetic innards.

Shand awakens at fireside, and Fett asks that she help recover his Firespray gunship at Bib Fortuna's palace. Fennec agrees, but makes clear that this alliance will pay off her debt to him.

Boba and Fennec infiltrate the stronghold through an underground passage. They emerge in the kitchen and encounter some of Fortuna's droids -- including the slippery rat catcher.

After engaging Fortuna's goons in the hangar, they ultimately reach the ship; takeoff is bumpy, but Boba and Fennec finally blast out into the Tatooine skies. "I've got a few scores to settle," Fett says. Though her debt is paid, Shand agrees to go for the ride.

Fett tracks the Nikto speed bikers that destroyed his Tusken tribe, delivering swift revenge.

Next, he heads to the Sarlacc pit, hoping to recover his beskar armor. Following another close encounter with the beast, he finds nothing.

Later, Fett asks Shand to join him in forming a house, promising her loyalty and a substantial share of profits. "You can only get so far without a tribe," he says.

Fett awakens, healed from his injuries. He and Shand head to the Sanctuary, where they also find Krrsantan. Following an intense encounter between the Wookiee and Trandoshan gangsters, Fett offers him a job.

Back at the palace, Fett and Shand host the heads of the Tatooine families. At Fett's request, they agree to remain neutral in any conflict with the Pyke Syndicate.

Fett needs allies. "Credits can buy muscle," Shand advises. "If you know where to look."
