His greatest adversary also serves as his most crucial ally.
Boba Fett finds himself isolated, with his father deceased and no friends to call upon. His sole motivation stems from a profound will to survive and his ambition to become a bounty hunter.
Aurra Sing has escorted him to Count Dooku's base situated on the hazardous world of Raxus Prime. Boba believes Dooku will offer assistance, but Dooku harbors alternative intentions, as do the Jedi.
As the Clone Wars escalate across the galaxy, Boba Fett becomes embroiled in a dramatic confrontation on Raxus Prime. The revelations he uncovers there will irrevocably alter the trajectory of his life.
Aurra Sing conveys the young Boba Fett to Count Dooku's headquarters located on the planet Raxus Prime. Boba Fett covertly investigates, discovering the Separatists' objective: the Force Harvester.
Clone Troopers launch an assault on the Separatist forces stationed on the planet, rescuing Boba Fett as an orphan and transporting him to a large spacecraft in orbit. Aboard the Casanderri, Boba Fett conceals his identity under the alias "Teff" and befriends another orphan. This camaraderie is disrupted when Boba escapes the ship upon its arrival at Cloud City. Boba Fett then embarks on a quest to locate his vessel, Slave I, which was commandeered by Aurra Sing. They eventually reunite on a moon and strike a deal: Boba Fett will receive his father's wealth in exchange for half of it. Subsequently, they both depart for Count Dooku.
In a parallel narrative, Separatist forces seize control of Excarga. The Galactic Republic mounts a successful counteroffensive, reclaiming the planet. While numerous prison camps are liberated, some prisoners remain unaccounted for.
