"She's aFirespray Pursuit Special…one of six prototypes manufactured for the prison. She's the last of her kind now."

―Jango Fett after "acquiring"Slave I — 20?cb=20250116042720

TheFirespray-31-class patrol and attack craft, orFirespray-class starship, orFirespray-class interceptor, was a patrol andtransport starship designed byKuat Systems Engineering initially for use by theRepublic Correctional Authority. The most well known of the starships wasJango andBoba Fett's ship, theSlave I.

Characteristics[]

As a prisoner transport, the ship featured numerous holding cells and devices made for the most exotic of creatures. A trademark of the ship was that it landed horizontally with the drive engines facing the surface and the cockpit facing upward. To transition to normal flight mode, the ship rotated so that the cockpit faced forward while the drive engines faced rearward.

The stock ship was well armed and armored for its size, with on-board storage space and room for several passengers and/or cargo. Roughly as fast asKoensayr's Y-wing starfighter/bomber, the ship had more than enough speed and maneuverability to interceptsmugglers and other renegades.

History[]

"Torn one beat-upFirespray right down to the frame and rebuilt it—"
"AFirespray? I thought those ships were just legend!"

―Deliah Blue and Ona Antilles^[14]

Kuat Systems Engineering produced six prototypes shortly before theBattle of Naboo. However, all but one were destroyed whenJango Fett staged a prison break onOovo IV. Jango kept the sole remainingFirespray, renaming itSlave I. Kuat Systems Engineering, suffering from the financial loss of the prototypes, eventually mothballed the project and concentrated instead on starship upgrades.

Many years later, K.S.E. found themselves on a more secure financial footing, and again desired to enter the starship market. The company then re-introduced theFirespray-class, hoping to build upon the reputation of the remaining prototype and its legendarypilot,Boba Fett. Fett would still be using the ship by the year43 ABY.

The newFiresprays were, like the original prototypes, designated as patrol and attack ships and perfectly suited for law enforcement and interdiction missions. With Kuat Systems Engineering keen to expand the market for the ship, they had started to promote how easily the ship could be customized and upgraded to fulfill a myriad of roles.

At least ten were used by theMandalorian Protectors during theYuuzhan Vong War.^[9] By137 ABY, these ships were legendary, but regarded as myth. During this time,Deliah Blue claimed that she once found and rebuilt one that was in such an advanced state of disrepair as to be falling apart.
