Warrior Conflict: Boba Fett versus Yautja, the Narrative.

Author's Note:  Besides the end result, this narrative is independent of the assessment I've done of both warriors.  I've done this to get a better story.  So I don't want to hear anything about how I've "nerfed" one side or the other - just take it for what it is:  entertainment!  The first part is here, the second part - and the "By the Numbers" segment will be up this Sunday.  I hope you enjoy the story!

“I told you that I had a bad feeling about this!” Tobias Orain shouted, “All systems have failed.”

Boba Fett leaned over his shoulder, eyes darting at the various blank screens.  “How do you mean, ‘failed’?”

“They’re dead.  Deader than dead.  It’s like our fuel cells just disappeared – there’s no juice going to anything.”  He glanced at Boba.  “Including life support.”

Warrior Bio: Boba Fett, Mandalore.

Author's Note:  If you weren't aware of this (in which case you should visit the new Table of Contests found HERE!) this next article series will be very different from all previous ones on my blog... because it will be featuring fictional characters from the worlds of science fiction!  That's right:  this match will be Boba Fett, the most famed bounty hunter in the "Star Wars" galaxy, going toe to toe with the Yautja, "the demon who makes trophies of men" and signature figure of the "Predator" franchise.  I'm very excited to explore such new territory with this next step in the project, and hopefully so are you!  Before we get started, I want to outline how this match will be posted... today (18 December) is the debut of the first segment, Boba Fett's Offensive Assessment.  On 20 December his Defensive Assessment will go live.  22 December is his Variables Assessment (which is tweaked - more on that later).  24 December will be the Yautja's Offensive Assessment, 26 the Defensive, 28 the Variables, and the Narrative and "By the Numbers" on the final two days of the month, respectively.  As a final note, the grading for this match will be a little different than what you may be used to seeing from me:  five points have been taken from both Long-Distance Weapons (in the Offensive category) and Head Protection (in the Defensive category) sub-categories, and moved to the Variables category to create the "Prior Opponents" and "Health" sub-categories, each worth five points.  What this means is that the grading scale is now 35 (Offensive) + 35 (Defensive) + 30 (Variables), still equaling 100 possible points.


That out of the way, let's get started!
