Boba Fett was the son of Jango Fett, the prototype for the military clones made during the Clone Wars. He was actually a clone of Jango, without genetic modification for greater ability in combat. He was a Mandalorian and a respected—and feared—bounty hunter. At the age of seventy-two, he was hired by Ta'a Chume to kill Queen Mother Tenel Ka, Ta'a Chume's granddaughter, for the sum of three million credits. He took the job and got to Hapes just as a group of Jedi arrived to warn Tenel Ka; another hired hunter, Ingvor Gord, was close enough to Tenel Ka's family that she decided to inform them instead of taking the job.
