Boba Fett
""There's no star system Slave I can't reach, and there's no planet I can't find. There's nowhere in the galaxy for you to run. Might as well give up now.""

- Boba Fett on his famous starship, Slave I.

Boba Fett was a Mandalorian warrior and bounty hunter. He was the clone son of Bounty Hunter Jango Fett and learned almost all he knew from his father and several books he was able to get his hands on. His father educated him how to fight, hunt and kill while his books allowed him to learn sciences and other knowledge of the mind. When he and his father went to Geonosis, his father was decapitated by Mace Windu. He then grew a deep hatred for Jedi and decided to avenge his father. Over the course of his life, he has hunted down, captured and killed hundreds of people, good many being dangerous force sensitives, pirate lords, masterminds and other deadly foes. He has even lead a Mandalorain Fighting Force to infiltrate the Yuuzhan Vong, a powerful alien race that almost brought the end of the New Galactic Republic, and eventually pushed them out of at least three planets under Vong control.

He has spent almost 66 years a bounty hunter and mercenary, standing with an age of 76 years old, and yet he still has a great physical condition. While not as muscular as his father, he was able to hold a Trandoshan (known for their massive strength) at bay. He is also capable of hunting down enemies with or without any advanced technology and is a master hand-to-hand combatant. His best skills lay in his weapons and intelligence. He is able to use his guns at ranges they were not meant to go and plan, hunt and take down his targets without them knowing. He has also proven his skills as a tactician during Yuuzhan Vong War by leading the Mandalorians to the liberation of Ord Mantell, Tholatin, Gyndine and many other planets. He is well known to be able to process information at extreme levels and quickly find out who he is going up against, what they will do, and exactly how to counter them.
 * The Expanded Universe will be taken to account. To ignore it means you are an idiot.

Garrus Vakarian
"Fighting a rogue Spectre with countless lives at stake and no regulations to get in the way? I'd say that beats C-Sec."

- Garrus Vakarian

Garrus Vakarian was a proud turian member of C-Sec, the police force operating on the Citadel, but the years of swimming in red tape had taken their toll on him, and by the time the rogue spectre Saren managed to get away, protected from investigation because of his status, the final straw was broken. Teaming up with Commander Shepard as a member of Shepard's Crew, Garrus traveled from Feros, to the Artimus Tao cluster, to Virmire, to Noveria and finally to Illos.

When the Commander and the original Normandy were killed by the Collectors, Garrus drifted around, and eventually found his way to Omega, a crime-ridden hell hole of a space station. Deciding to assemble a team to fight control of the station out of criminal hands, Garrus became an acclaimed hero- nicknamed "Archangel" by the common people, and earning him the intense hatred of the three dominant merc groups on Omega. Despite their relative success, Garrus was betrayed when one of his own, another turian named Sidonis, made a deal with the mercs that lured Garrus away and butchered his entire squad. Abandoned, betrayed and alone, Garrus holed up in an isolated building to make a final stand as the Mercenary forces of the Eclipse, Blue Suns and Blood Pack teamed up to take him down. He was here for days before Commander Shepard arrived. Overjoyed to meet again, the two were able to work together to weaken the Mercs and escape, but a gunship horribly scarred Garrus' face.

As a former C-Sec, Garrus is very well trained and was an excellent law-enforcer. Garrus' skill as a sniper and steady use of assault rifles makes a huge asset in battling the Geth, Krogan Warlords and even brainwashed Rachni. He is also a renowned tactician, capable of leading a squadron into Omega and cause large enough damage to get the attention of three major mercenary groups, though he inevitably failed in his mission.

X-Factors
Boba Fett vs Garrus

93 Training 96 While Boba was trained by his father at a FAR younger age, his training was not complete in till latter. Garrus, on the other hand, is a Turian, who are well known for their training. Add in his C-Sec training and Garrus wins in training.

99 Armor 86 Garrus Kinetic Barriers and body armor will get him past many warriors but his armor won't help against Boba Fett's heavy-hitting energy weapons. It would take at most one shot to disable the Kinetic Barrier and another to get through his body armor. On the other side of the spectrum, Boba's armor will have a far better chance of lasting. Mandalorian Iron is fantastic at blocking projectiles, physical and blaster, and while it won't stop the force that is caused as perfectly, the power armor liner will stop it. The cloth part of his armor should not be underestimated as it is almost as strong as the rest. Boba's armor also provides a helmet for even more protection, making a head shot imposable. Overall, Boba's armor will last much longer than Garrus'.

93 Physicality 97 Despite being amazingly fit for his age, Boba Fett doesn't rely on his physical capabilities as much as other bounty hunters. Garrus, as a Turian, would have a much greater physical build.

90 Maneuverability 80 Turians are known for not being very fast or graceful. They always make it up with their training. Garrus would not have any exceptions. Boba Fett, on the other hand, is fairly maneuverable. He can reach locations significantly faster and his Jetpack allows him to make impressive leaps.

98 Accuracy 98 Both are fantastic shots and known for it. Garrus has proven his worth as a sniper when in conflict with enemies during his time with Shepard. Boba, on the other hand, proved his skills when he was a child. During his time with the Clone Youth Brigade, he was able to shoot down all of the targets with one shot each on the Endurance, while the other members couldn't even hit the targets. Overall, Both are master marksmen.

99 Experience 84 While Garrus has faced a lot of enemies in his time, he didn't start seeing combat till his late teens and probably seen around 8 years of combat. Boba has seen combat since he was a child, round the age of 10, and has been in his business for 66 years, more than 8 times the amount of time. Even at his age, he is still going strong. He has fought Jedi, Sith and several other dangerous enemies that would make quick work of a C-Sec operative. Overall, Boba Fett wins in experience by far.

99 Intelligence/Tactics 89 The two are known for being tactical geniuses but this is where Boba wins by far. To explain, let's see what the two are known for:

Garrus created a Vigilante team on Omega, a large, crime infested city attached to a mining system on an asteroid. They take a big chunk out of crime and the three main mercenary groups stationed their. However, the mercenary groups started to work together and after getting their hands on one of Garrus' men to betray his team, they were able to wipe out Garrus' entire team and forced him into a dead end. He was rescued by Shepard, who infiltrated the mercenaries' ranks to secretly help Garrus, but was forced to leave his mission in failure.

Boba Fett and several other Mandalorians infiltrated the Yuuzhan Vong by pretending to be mercenaries working for them, secretly giving vital information to the Alliance and aid them with infromation. Boba Fett eventually broke the fake alliance with the Yuuzhan Vong and lead several Mandalorian warriors into war against this powerful military force. Despite the chances being ever so steep, Boba and the Manalorians were able to push the Yuuzhan Vong out of Ord Mantell, Tholatin, and Gyndine, aiding the Alliance astronomically.

Overall, Boba Fett wins this do to the fact that the military feats he has accomplished were far more massive and far more effective. Garrus was able to take a large chunk of crime from a mining city but fail at the end. Boba drove a powerful military force out of three planets. Their is no real way Garrus can be superior.

Who and What: The Warriors and their Gear
Boba will be armed with: Garrus will bring in:
 * Dur-24 Wrist Laser with 2 spare reloads (100 spare rounds)
 * EE-3 Carbine Rifle with 3 spare reloads (300 spare rounds)
 * LD-1 target blaster rifle with 3 spare reloads (150 rounds)

 * 5 Proximity Mines (Max uses)
 * 3 Overloads
 * Medium Agent Turian Armor

Where and How: The Location and Rules
Based in an abandoned base on an unnamed planet. Garrus has only been on it for a short time and doesn't have a great idea of the Area. Boba Fett was able to find the planet and knows as much about is as Garrus.

Why: The Reason
Do to Garrus' vigilante attacks on a massive Mercenary company and their inability to find him, the company hires the legendary Boba Fett to capture Garrus. Garrus knows he has a bounty on him and decides to stay at a remote Base on an unnamed planet. However, he does not know that Boba has found him.
