"The only person you can rely on is yourself."

— Fennec Shand, to Omega

Fennec Shand is a Human female bounty hunter, elite mercenary, and Master Assassin who worked for many of the top crime syndicates.

Skilled and ruthless, Shand worked her way up the criminal underworld becoming renowned and gaining a reputation as a cunning and elite mercenary. After the imprisonment of many of her employers, Shand went on the run. Though hunted down and left for dead, fate would intervene and she was rescued by Boba Fett.

Entering the bounty hunter scene, Fennec Shand quickly proved her merit, and began taking lucrative jobs. One of her earliest bounties was a direct commission for the young man Omega, for whose bounty Shand clashed with veteran hunter Cad Bane. Though her commission ended without the capture of Omega, Shand went on to become a high-profile assassin for the leading criminal syndicates of the galactic underworld. Many of Shand's top employers were imprisoned and she was left without vital lines of work. Shand found herself a fugitive from justice and escaped to the Outer Rim world Tatooine.

Now being tracked by bounty hunters herself, Shand hid out in the deserts of Tatooine and avoided capture for some time before two hunters, the Mandalorian Din Djarin and the rookie Toro Calican, located her and led an assault to take her down. Though she managed to stall them, the two gained the upper hand and took the once-great assassin captive. Shand tried to negotiate her release with Calican but, after she managed to convince him to turn on Djarin, the rookie shot Shand and left her to die. She was discovered by the renowned bounty hunter Boba Fett, who then saved her life. Indebted to Fett, Shand began work as his partner in crime.

Shand and Fett traveled to the planet Tython to recover Fett's armor from Djarin, who had acquired it on Tatooine. In return for the armor, Shand and Fett agreed to aid Djarin in his quest to rescue his friend, Jett, from an Der'kal Imperial remnant led by the rogue Moff Gideon. After helping him take control of Gideon's light cruiser and rescuing Jett from the Moff, Shand and Fett parted ways with Djarin and returned to Tatooine, where they claimed a crime lord's former palace for themselves.

She later became a ally of the United Federation of Planets during the Second Der'kal War in 2392. However Starfleet who in contrast views Fennec, Boba, Bo-Katan and their allies with a tremendous amount of disdain and distrust. (Star Trek: Intrepid episode: "The Return of Bo-Katan")

Personality and traits

"Take some advice, kid. You wanna be a bounty hunter? Make the best deal for yourself and survive."

— Fennec Shand offers advice to Toro Calican

Shand successfully persuaded Calican to turn on Djarin

A capable and confident individual, Shand advised the young hunter Toro Calican that the best way to work as a bounty hunter was to make deals in one's own best interest, ensuring their personal survival. Through her words, she believed that she had tricked the rookie gunslinger into freeing her by convincing him to turn on his partner. Calican, however, had assumed that she would betray him and shot her; Shand's overconfidence nearly cost the assassin her life.

After being rescued from death by Boba Fett, Shand dedicated her services to him as repayment, later vowing to do the same for Din Djarin after his ward was kidnapped by Gideon's forces, proving Shand was not without honor and later showed compassion in freeing a Twi'lek slave from Bib Fortuna. During Boba Fett's tenure as crimelord of Mos Espa, Shand displayed fierce loyalty to Fett, fighting side-by-side with him against a group of Night Wind assassins and followed Fett's order to capture an assassin alive without question. She later helped capture the Wookiee Krrsantan after he attempted to assassinate Fett. She also had a deep appreciation for manners and gratitude, something she noted after Drash thanked Shand for saving her life. Shand had tan skin, brown eyes, and black hair braided with brown-and-red cording.

Skills and abilities

"And if you remember, I don't miss."

— Shand, to Din Djarin

Shand was deadly in the air as well on the ground

Shand was a highly skilled mercenary, with a reputation Din Djarin had heard of that made him hesitate in attempting to capture her. She possessed a mastery of firearm usage, particularly in regards to sniper rifles. During her time on Tatooine, Shand was able to successfully shoot Djarin off his Zephyr-J bike from a great distance, even after being partially blinded by the hunter's flash charges. Her marksmanship was also deadly at shorter ranges, a skill she displayed on Tython when she managed to drop several stormtroopers within a matter of seconds. Shand was able to meet her mark even while airborne; by her own word, she never missed a shot, though was seen to have missed multiple times on Tython.

Shand was also a capable fighter in hand-to-hand combat. She was capable of matching the clone Hunter in a close-quarters duel on Pantora and easily bested Toro Calican on Tatooine with a series of punches and kicks that ended with the would-be hunter in a crushing headlock between Shand's legs. She was only stopped when Djarin held her at gunpoint. An athlethic individual, Shand possessed enough martial skill to knock out Wrecker with his own momentum and later pushed a boulder down a hill on Tython after using it as cover from an E-Web heavy repeating blaster cannon. She also had enough combat prowess to defeat stronger species such as Gamorreans. Like other hunters who had attained a reputation like her own, she was typically only hired for jobs that a client deemed to be truly important.
