STRENGTHS

Extremely Heavy Starfighter-Grade Firepower - With four heavy laser cannons, four ion cannons, concussion missiles, and a large homing missile payload, the Cabur-type can cripple bombers, disable corvettes, or overwhelm most starfighters in a single attack pass.

High-Speed and Intercept Performance - Advanced drive engines, sublight acceleration systems, and thrust-vectoring control enable the craft to rapidly close distances, disengage at will, or conduct high-speed pursuit and interception missions.

Excellent Maneuverability for a Heavy Fighter - Despite its weapon mass, the reinforced inertial compensators and agile control surfaces allow it to dogfight effectively against light fighters when flown by skilled pilots.

Multirole Mission Flexibility - Equally effective as a space-superiority fighter, bomber, interceptor, strike craft, or escort, the Cabur-type reduces the need for specialized squadrons and simplifies carrier force composition.

Strong Anti-Ship Disabling Capability - Its ion cannons and missile loadout allow it to neutralize shields, engines, and weapon systems on transports and light warships, making it ideal for capture operations and coordinated fleet assaults.

​

WEAKNESSES

Very Low Defensive Protection - Minimal armor plating and limited shield strength leave the Cabur-type highly vulnerable to sustained laser fire, flak, or proximity detonations.

Small Squadron Size - With only eight craft per squadron, losses are difficult to replace quickly, and formations lack the numerical dominance of standard twelve-fighter units.

Reduced Effectiveness After Ammunition Depletion - Once missiles and concussion weapons are expended, the craft's strike capability drops sharply against hardened targets.

Larger Target Profile - Its size and weapon protrusions make it easier to track and target than smaller interceptors, particularly in dense combat environments.

Crew Vulnerability - With three crew members and little internal protection, cockpit penetration often results in immediate mission failure or total loss.

​

DESCRIPTION

The Cabur-type Starfighter is a Mandalorian-engineered evolution of the original Cabur-class design, rebuilt by Aether Systems to serve as a brutally efficient multirole combat platform capable of fulfilling the roles of interceptor, heavy fighter, and strike craft within a single frame. Where traditional starfighters favor speed or agility at the expense of firepower, the Cabur-type embraces excess. Its reinforced weapons pylons mount an arsenal more commonly associated with light gunships - heavy laser cannons for sustained dogfighting, ion cannons for subsystem neutralization, and a formidable missile loadout designed to overwhelm shields or obliterate hardened targets in coordinated volleys. Despite its mass, the craft retains high maneuverability through aggressive engine tuning, inertial compensation, and sublight acceleration motors, allowing skilled pilots to engage lighter fighters on nearly equal terms while maintaining the speed required for interception or deep strike missions. Defensively, the Cabur-type makes deliberate compromises. Armor and shield strength are kept minimal to preserve speed and weapon capacity, relying instead on countermeasures, damage-reduction systems, and pilot skill to survive engagements. As a result, the fighter is devastating in short, violent encounters but poorly suited to prolonged attrition warfare. The Mandalorian Empire deploys the Cabur-type in compact eight-ship squadrons, emphasizing precision strikes, rapid fleet support, and the neutralization of high-value targets such as bombers, corvettes, and command craft. These squadrons are frequently used to punch holes in enemy formations, disable escort vessels, or spearhead boarding operations by crippling a target before capture. Among Mandalorian pilots, the Cabur-type has earned a reputation as both a predator and a liability - unmatched in offensive potential for its size, yet unforgiving to those who overstay their attack runs. In the hands of veterans, however, it is regarded as one of the most dangerous strike fighters; a fast-moving weapons platform designed to end battles before the enemy can properly respond.
