DESCRIPTION​

When the Mandalorians were gifted ships by the Sith Empire and urged to restart their ancient crusades, some Mandalorians found that they couldn't really get along with some of the Sith-designed ships. One ship design element that they did like, however, was the concept of Combat Carriers. While not a new concept to the Mandalorian people, seeing the Sith with their own versions of it sparked the idea that the Mandalorians could have their own, better, version.

How superior the Bes'bavar-Class is to any Imperial counterparts is a subject hotly debated on star-ship fan-sites across the holonet and not something that the designers at MandalHypernautics bothered themselves with. Instead, they worked hard on creating a dedicated combat carrier that would be able to support corvettes, frigates, cruisers, and even star destroyers within the Mandalorian navy without being defenseless.

Armed with a wider variety of weaponry, the idea was to ensure that the Bes'bavar-Class has weapons that could ward off fighter-counter attacks and also hold its own against smaller capital ships (particularly corvettes) that could get through the Mandalorian battlelines to strike at it directly.

The design of its hanger, with three points of entry, allows for fighters and gunships to arrive back for refueling/rearming without needing to fly through the stream of ships leaving to join the fight. With this design feature, the Bes'bavar-Class is one of the few carriers with a hanger bay designed for constant through traffic.

LEGALITY​

Restricted. Bes'bavar-Class Combat Carriers are classified as capital ships under Galactic law, and possess heavy weapons, making them difficult or impossible for civilians and even small factions to own. They are currently all owned by the Mandalorian military.

INTENT​

To create a dedicated, faction-specific, assault carrier for the Mandalorian.

RESTRICTIONS​

Bes'bavar-Class Combat Carrier are large capital ships with heavy weapons, and capital ships cannot be owned or operated by individual characters. They are exclusive to the Mandalorian faction.
