DESCRIPTION
One might think the Prelaar Heavy Starbomber was designed to fire massive amounts of missiles in an overwhelming barrage. But this is only one of the reasons for the starbomber's design. Capable of holding up to a total of fifty warheads, the Prelaar's strength is its unending reliability.Crewed by a pilot and co-pilot, the Prelaar starbomber was made to assure its capability of reaching its target. While it possesses a class 2 primary hyperdrive and even a backup hyperdrive, the need to fly sublight is sometimes overlooked in this day and age. Thus the carrying capacity of the starbomber is slightly increased for a small crew. Furthermore, crews can survive for a standard month on average with onboard supplies and fuel.
The medium deflector screen generator and added armor keep the starbomber in fighting shape and also protect its payload until it's in range of its target. Still far more maneuverable and faster than most civilian ships, the Prelaar can still be outmaneuvered by fast attack craft. Therefore it can rely heavily on carrier vessels or smaller and faster ships to keep enemy starfighters from focusing on them.
One benefit to the Prelaar's design is its versatility. A mix of concussion missiles and proton torpedoes is the most common compliment for the heavy starbomber. This way it can make even a capital ship or land forces think twice before engaging a few of these crafts. The Prelaar is far from the end-all, be-all star bomber and has somewhat of a niche but an effective place in the Mandalorian fleet. Its reliability and redundancies make it an ideal choice for armor-clad pilots.
LEGALITY
Restricted. Prelaar class are starbombers, and they are subject to extra licensing requirements and increased scrutiny by authorities.INTENT
To expand on the Mandalorian's arsenal of tech with their own proprietary ships as the Mandalorians are utilizing shipyards, adding to the Mandalorian's fleet.RESTRICTIONS
Yes. Ownership of a vessel of this type is restricted to the Mandalorian faction in this case unless otherwise acquired through a thread.Huge thank you @Darasuum for helping make this ship!
