Strengths:
  • Weapons Platform: An impressive amount of firepower
  • Compartmentalized Design: Can survive full perforations to the ship and provides alternative power sources and life support to various areas should areas become severely damaged in battle.
  • Redundant Systems: Redundant shields, command decks, and power generators.
Weaknesses:
  • Spinal Blast Doors: Slow to open and close, the blast doors provide a significant target when open
  • Exposed Flight Control and Communications Hub: Flight control and long range communications towers are exposed and clearly visible targets.
  • Hypervelocity Cannon Jamming: When the gun jams the gun must go through a jamming cycle which sees the projectile forced from the gun, making it inoperable.
  • Power Cycling: Another drawback from the hypervelocity guns, if fired in quick succession the ship could lose power and cycle before firing and cause a jam on top of the other draw backs of losing power.
Description: As the Mandalorian Empire rose from the ashes of the civil war, the need became clear for a line of battlecruisers that could be used to extend the iron will of its ruthless leader, Ra Viszla. Ra was, however, simply a pawn in the Sith Empire's push for power and thus was entrusted with dozens of advanced Sith designs that had been in development for years prior. Under his rule, skeletons of these ships were shipped to MandalMotors, an unwilling accomplice to what was meant to be a new Mandalorian Crusade. After his disappearance construction of these ships continued and the incomplete vessels were brought to the attention of Mand'alor Yasha Mantis during the late construction phases of the Preserver-Class Super Dreadnought. With tensions rising between Mandalorian generals and the Sith Empire, MandalMotors was ordered to continue the projects in secret in the asteroid fields of Location 6.

The result was the fierce and aggressive Crusader-Class Heavy Dreadnought, a marvel of Mandalorian engineering that took new technologies from its early development as a Sith warship and fused them with lessons learned in the construction of the Preserver-Class Super Dreadnought. The sharp and imposing warship expanded on the Sith virtues of fear and could exude pressure on a sector or system, warding off would be pirates or insurgents from its presence alone.

At a staggering length of five kilometers, the Crusader dwarfed most of the Mandalorian fleet and became the largest warship ever singularly constructed by Madnalorian shipwright MandalMotors. The ship's frame was long and angular, purpose built with aggressively sloped sections of heavy armor plating to better absorb and deflect energy projectiles. Massive blast doors that ran along the spine of the ship retracted and revealed a landing bay that ran almost the full length of the ship, giving way to generously sized hangars and garages that held numerous repulsor tanks, walkers, and bes'uliik war droids. This landing bay allowed for the Crusader to launch or land its entire starfighter wings in an incredibly short amount of time and repair or refuel them during combat with staggering efficiency. Its sheer size also allowed for the emergency use of its landing bay as a holding area for severely damaged frigates and cruisers. Outside of the main hangar, a large ventral docking bay functioned as a secondary hangar and could be used to dock smaller Dreadnoughts and Destroyers for refueling or prisoner transport. It also functioned as the zero-g drop hangar for bes'uliik deployments.

The weapons compliment of the Crusader was impressive, rivaling anything short of a Super Star Destroyer or Super Dreadnought, with thousands of kyber crystal enhanced turbolaser batteries and ion cannons. The Crusader also sported an impressive array of point defense laser and missile turrets designed to put a nearly impenetrable screen of fire between it and would be starfighter assailants. Several long-range hypervelocity guns were placed on the ship which drew an immense amount of power from the ship's several reactors. A unique and unfamiliar technology to the Mandalorians, the hypervelocity cannon was prone to misfires and
often required a jamming protocol to be run which lasted several minutes before it could fire again. Despite that, the hypervelocity guns were easily one of the most devastating weapons on the ship, rivaled only by its high powered orbital bombardment autocannons which boasted the fire power to perform a base delta zero all on their own and offered a variable power output for use in terror tactics on unruly or enemy occupied worlds.

Two bulbous towers, one near the ship's center and another towards the front of the ship acted as flight control and communications decks and provided flight instructions for landing and long distance communication for the crew of the Crusaders. Of the crew the ship was mad with the intent to hold full planetary invasion and occupation forces which included Mandalorian Commandos, Shocktroopers, and Bes'uliik best riders. A contingent of Mandalorian soldiers also accompanied the pilots and crew of Crusaders to provide a sense of absolute security on board the vessels. The command deck of the Crusader-class vessels was located just underneath the communication tower deck and offered a windowless view of the battlefield via several advanced cameras and sensors scattered about the hull providing incredibly important info to the crew via advanced holodisplay terminals. Deep within the vessel's compartmentalized structure several back up command centers crewed with emergency personnel allowed the ship to quickly recover should the main bridge be lost during battle.

Limited in number, the advanced Crusader-class Heavy Dreadnought represented a crowning achievement for the rebuilding Mandalorian Empire and was one of the deadliest Mandalorian warships of its time. Each vessel played an important role in the Mandalorian armada and were almost always deployed as command vessels in fleets or positioned to drastically expand the influence of the Mandalorian Empire beyond its boarders. Several of the craft also served as mobile training vessels for new generations of Mandalorian soldiers and deck officers, which were sorely needed after both the Second Mandalorian Excision and the recent Civil War left the faction with a staggeringly small military population. Designed for a puppet dictatorship and remade in the new image of a people free from Sith influence, the Crusader-Class Heavy Dreadnought would go on to serve faithfully in the Mandalorian navy for many years.
