Star Wars: KSE Firespray-31 (Slave I) | Ship Breakdown

"collapsium gas" Star Wars out here with the best of science-y names.

Everyone used to give this ship grief for being such a massive target from behind, but I think at this point we can safely say "Behind Slave I" is one of the last places you ever want to be in a dogfight. It's the gunship equivalent of a cat laying on its back, belly exposed: sure it looks vulnerable, but now all the claws are ready to rip you apart.

A very fitting tribute to the late Jeremy Bulloch the original Boba Fett.

Slave I, armed with the greatest ear-pleasing explosive weapon in the galaxy.

Here after seeing "The Rescue". Can't wait for December 2021.

It was so great seeing the interior of the ship, that it rotates when the ship takes off or lands.

My favorite childhood ship since Attack of the Clones. That movie was an amazing toy commercial. They got the best ships.

Nice use of Bounty Hunter footage. That game really needs a complete remake, not just update graphics.

In Legends, after the first run, a second wave of Firesprays was built to capitalize on the Slave I's fame, e.g. Emon Azzameen's Andrasta.

One of my favorites from Star Wars. The creativity in the design is mindblowing.

"create(s) a huge electrosonic implosion that only shielded warships have been known to withstand" - A.K.A. Let them eat BASS

I'm so glad we got to see some Slave 1 action this season. Nerdgasmed so hard when he used the seismic charge.

You thought I wouldn’t notice the usage of the Star Wars Bounty Hunter theme but I did. Perfect.

Captain: "Whose attacking us?" Crewman: "It's Slave 1." Captain: "Get me my brown pants!"

Certain shipyards (KDY) would install "kill switches" in their ships to prevent their interests and operations from being disrupted. These components would react to coded signals over certain frequencies, shutting down key systems, including defenses, shields and engine controls. Fett knew of these subsystems and removed them shortly after taking possession of SLAVE I.

I like they actually showed how the inside cabin of Slave I works in the Mandalorian considering how it lands versus how it flies.

It's one of the best starfighters in science fiction, with the bonus of a set of iconic ear-pleasing bombs.

Brilliant ship. Small and powerful, just the way I like them.

I always thought this was one of the most wild ships in Star Wars. I can't think of many other ships that have such a weird flight profile -- that tall silhouette instead of being long and slender like a fighter was certainly an interesting choice

I've never been a huge fan of this ship. But it does have its moments.

Love the Star Wars Bounty Bunter theme and footage.

Its the most powerful ship because it simply t-poses on enemies

We need to see a GAT-12 Skipray Blastboat.

when I first saw this on screen in combat I wanted this ship more than any other, onto the Eclipse has passed it since.

The Firespray has one huge disadvantage, no not the rear aspect _…ahem,_ but the fact that it is unique and associated with the Fetts - it basically has *Bounty Hunter* written down the side in giant flashing neon letters. The _Slave-1_ turns up at a space port and everybody will be talking about it, and any potential bounty targets will go to ground or get out of dodge immediately. And a preemptive strike against the Slave-1 as it's coming in to land would be a prudent move if any bounties were near a weapons console. Even seeing that ship on scanners would give the game away as it has a distinctive profile - the jammers wouldn't be on all the time. And being unique, getting spare parts for it must be a pain. IMHO A more appropriate ship would be a Corellian light freighter, heavily modified, something from the YT series. Outfitted with the same performance package as smugglers, the ship would be mistaken for a smugglers ship in the more lawless regions of the galaxy, thus not setting off any alarm bells. The cargo space could be reduced to add _even more firepower,_ and the specialised equipment for prisoner transport. Getting spare parts, maintenance, and just running it would be a lot easier. And the Bounty Hunter could even do a little smuggling on the side, both as an extra source of income, and as part of a cover when looking for low life scum - you will be assumed to be just the same so you can get up close without raising suspicions. It's a much more viable option than flying around in a Elephants Head that has _Bobba Fetts Bounty Hunter ship_ emblazoned on a trailing banner.

And Dash Rendar took it down with what might be the most powerful one-handed blaster ever.

In other words. You really don't want to mess with this ship.

It STILL looks like a military-grade office stapler.

One of the best YT videos i've seen in a long time. As someone who played Star Wars: Bounty Hunter back in the day, the music used in the video really put a smile on my face. A very well written game, despite being "small" in many respects.

If the upcoming RPG sourcebook is meaty enough, would you consider covering some Expanse book canon ships?

Kinda figured this one was next, it was either this one of the Razor Crest. Good breakdown as usual though. I still recommend the Sol Bianca from the ova of the same name. To be honest I have quite a few ideas for the next ship breakdown; The XGP 15A-II (ie. the Outlaw Star), The Angel Links, perhaps even the Arcadia from Captain Harlock.

Been my favorite ship designs since I was 8!! I've always loved vertical flying ships

I appreciate the Bounty Hunter soundtrack and the clips from the game, I'm glad the game's still available on PS4.

after this we’ll go get some ice cream!

As apathetic as I have become towards Star Wars, I’ll always enjoy content about the ships, tech, and lore that you upload.

"Do you want to play OCD: The Empire Management Game?" NO, I do PREFFER to have FREE TIME to do shit like LIVE. Sweet game though, best one this year that I'm not gonna play.

i really wish we could have more then one break down a week

i personally think Slave-1 is one of the best ships in all of star wars. It’s agile, stealthy, only needs one pilot, has storage, a prison, a living quarters, and heaps of weaponary. what more could you want from a ship?

Great video and the game Prosperous Universe is actually pretty good as well. Thanks for both!!

Thanks for this my vod! You did all Mandalorians proud.

Nice touch with the SW: Bounty Hunter OST I used to just let that play a while before I started playing all the time just like Republic Commando which I patiently await a sequel to.

the best thing about the Slave is the sonic imploders. Only seen Attack of the Clones a few times but that sound stays with me. Legendary

Speaking of original sci fi, I just finished the Sojourn book 1 and it was pretty darn good.

Hey, I had this ship in Star Wars Galaxies and forgot what it was called when I watched The Mandalorian. Now i found this great episode, thanks for making this video. Your channel is awesome!

Fun fact about Slave 1: there is no fun fact about it, when you see this ship tailing you just make your peace with the Force.

Awww yeaaaah, Slave I!

A ship layout that makes little, to no practical sense, but I do really like it. It really does stand out to the other ships, (as it was supposed to). Where most ships basically 'point' in the direction they fly, (Star Destroyer, Corellian Corvette, X,Y & A-Wings..), this thing seems to purposely go against that design philosophy both flying and landed. My wife's comment, "That is a really odd looking ship." Truer words were never spoken and it still is one of those stand out designs you either like, or hate. I love it because it's so odd looking. 😁😁

Great timing for a Boba Fett related video

You know it's funny to me the thing looks like a giant iron like what you use for clothes to me in design.

The tail cannons and central laser cannons appearing identical has always driven me nuts. Best guess is that the animators had a hard time getting Slave 1, lasers, AND the Delta-7 all in frame in the tight shots of the asteroid belt...?

Think it would be great to hear a breakdown of the Farragut Class Battlecruiser from the Federal Navy of Elite Dangerous, just such an awesome design that recalls battlestars I think. Slave 1 was such a strange design, it seemed cooler back in the 80s and 90s I think.

Seismic Charge ftw.

Based on the description of the interior in this video, Slave 1 must be like the TARDIS...bigger on the inside.

I kind of want to see a brief animated parody now, featuring Hank Fett and his son Bobby Fett. "I got a jetpack, dad!" "The clone ain't right..."

Thanks again Daniel! Love this ship!

I love this ship. Was the 2nd ship (after the x-wing) that i built in space engineers.

WELL AMAZING TIMING!! Thank you! Could do the Razorcrest too :-))

I thought you were throwing shade on the sponsor at first, by the end I wanted to play it.

This is my favorite ship

You should check out Starsector. It's a treasure trove of lore, ships, and all kinds of fun things to discuss.

Ngl if Jango didn’t blow up all the other damn ships, this could have been a successful ship. BUT NO. JANGO WANTED THE ONLY ONE

I think that the bulky frame and large silhouette is somewhat offset by how damn quickly that thing turns. Look at the scene where it pulls out of it's hangar on the prison planet Jango got it from. Does 2 180degree turns in a second, in atmosphere. Also consistently outmaneuvers a jedi starfighter in space dogfighting, managing to stay behind Obi-wan or utilize it's mines to negate his enemy's positional advantage. Thing's a little terror

Nice use of the Bounty Hunter Game's music theme.

Interesting that Ion now seems to just be an alternate fire mode for the bottom guns. The older cross sections had them up higher, where the rapid fire guns were when Jango owned it.

Thanks for the vid sir.

"KSE Firespray after a Delta 7 to no effect because plot armor"

Lando: I like the ship, not the name Boba: 😈

Top class episode

Before seeing how this video pans out, it's interesting that I wondered if this channel had already done the Slave 1 and as of yesterday had only done a video on it being rather silly.

Consider this: KDY produced 6 prototypes that were loaned to the Oovo 4 prison for testing. Jango Fett stole the Slave 1 and destroyed the rest. As a result, testing could not be completed, thus leaving problems that were never resolved.

A Sci-Fi Spreadsheet game? Sorry I still have nightmares about MOO3!

Question: I know starships in the Star Wars universe are ridiculously customizable, but how did he cram all that stuff in there? Better sensors with ecm, bigger power plant, *living quarters*, more turreted weapons, and multiple launcher systems. Is the stock frame mostly hallow?

A Cahoona Meatsteak empire in X3 you say? No, we need Bofu!!

@Spacedock I'm curious, where do you get the white/grey profile drawings of the ships?

I love listening to the opening music on my Kraken Headset.

I think it would be epic if this guy was to do things like this but for various weapons

You really need to do the SDF-1 Macross.

"Nice ship! Don't care for the name though." ~Lando

I still never really understood the allure of the Firespray design, particularly the perchance for the interior hull rotating the way it does. But overall, I do have a bit more respect for the ship's history... though Clone Wars did make it a really solid Republic Beater when employed in such a manner. I kind of wish there were some Exosquad pieces in the collection, particularly the ECV-33 Exocarrier Resolute and her support craft... but over all I find the entire collection to be incredibly informative and especially well done.

I remember the Andresta. Always wondered where Emon Azzameen got it.

I have a question, during the mandalorian crusades did the republic steal the armor of fallen mando's and stash it some where

Love this content.

..I'd like to hear what you have to say about the Gunstar from The Last Starfighter, looked through your videos..I didnt see if you had gone over that ship yet.

1:13 I have to ask: how do you make those white images of the ships for your videos?

Prosperous Universe? Premium license holder here, currently not playing. 😔 About Slave I: Seismic Charges & rapid fire blasters are awesome. 😁

Great video

Thanks

Can you do the Adamant Frigate or Arachne Cruiser from Battlestar Galactica Deadlock please?

I would love to see a episode about the ships and fighters in the PC game Starlancer

The rotation of Slave 1 has always baffled me. Who would design a ship that way? Then again, my favorite ship as two hulls connected by a ridiculously skinny neck so who am I to judge.

The Slave I will always be my all time favorite ship within the Star Wars Universe and I would pick that fine lady over the Falcon every single time.

Are you guys ever going to do the Earthship Ark from The Starlost? Look back on previous comments of mine for the specs on this insanely immense and wildly imaginative ship.

very good and informative video but i have one question: is the Slave I able to fly backwards?

I shudder to think of the maintenance bill for a ship that old and still in service. Maybe that's what Boba Fett spends the bulk of his bounties on!

Ah, the Firespray. The one thing new canon actually fixed for Legends canon. Seriously, did Jango destroy every other Firespray up until after ROTJ? Then how come there's so many examples of other Firesprays during the following Civil War period? Star Wars X-wing: Alliance was my childhood game, and I took great offense to Bounty Hunter's plot hole lol

I just thought of something: After Boba Fett went into the Sarlacc pit, what happened to _Slave 1?_ Did it rot away where he left it as no one had the balls to claim it and set off any number of booby traps? Did someone actually get it and had to live down the reputation after the fall of the empire or is there some comic with his previously unknown progeny finding it, knowing how to bypass the safeguards and added to the legend? Or was it just scrapped? I really wonder.

Hey Daniel, everything alright mate? Haven't heard from you in a while and just hoping you're okay.

Emon Azzameen and his Firespray the Andrasta beg to differ on only one left :)

"Get him dad, get him! ... ... FYAAH!"
