DESCRIPTION​

With the Crusader Class of corvettes having long since become a product out on the open market, the Mandalorian leaders turned to MandalHypernautics to produce for them a corvette that the Galaxy hadn't had hundreds of years to learn how to protect against. Their answer was to drastically change the shape and, in some ways, the role of the typical Crusader Class Corvette and came up with the appropriately named Neo-Crusader Class Corvette.

The focus on heavy weaponry being turreted was taken away from the old designs, leaving the heaviest ordinance as fixed emplacements (Launchers & Light Turbolaser Cannons) but keeping the lighter weaponry more versatile in firing directions (Light Ion & laser cannons). This was intended to allow the Neo-Crusader to be able to assault capital ships while also being effective as an anti-starfighter screening ship as well. It would have performed adequately, but without excelling, in both roles were it not for the addition of an integrated hanger bay.

With even its small complement of starfighters and gunships, the Neo-Crusader is able to provide cover to itself as it undertakes its own actions. This flexibility in such a relatively small ship has also made the Neo-Crusader popular amongst Rally Masters and smaller clans as they are plentiful enough to be awarded to such groups within the crusade.

LEGALITY​

Restricted. Neo-Crusader Class Corvettes 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.

INTENT​

To give the Mandalorians a corvette that can be seen as somewhat of an improvement over the old Crusader-Class corvettes while remaining exclusively faction-specific at this point.

RESTRICTIONS​

Neo-Crusader Class Corvettes 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.




Huge thank you to @Nefieslab for helping with this ship!
