STRENGTHS

Automated - The DSS-22 retains the automated features of its predecessor design that have many of the secondary and tertiary systems automated by linking them to a centralized computer core managed by an integrated Fondor Droid Mod. This allows these craft to be flown by a smaller complement, while also ensuring that critical systems such as navigation and life support remain in the hands of the organic crew.

Meditation Chambers - While not a system or feature that would directly strengthen or weaken the overall vessel itself, these craft are known to come equipped with up to four specialized meditation chambers or "Qabbrat". These chambers allow the members of the Iron Wolf pack that call the vessel home to meditate as a means to enhance their powers with the Force.

Increased Mobility - Retaining the design features and specifications of its predecessors has ensured that these craft are just as focused on defense and agility, boasting increased acceleration and speed at Sublight, thus creating a highly agile Corvette capable of outpacing vessels of similar sizes.

​

WEAKNESSES

Automated - Due to the nature of the Iron Wolves sect focusing on smaller packs of up to four individuals, these craft are highly automated to allow for this smaller group to properly crew these vessels. This automated approach, however, has led to these vessels being more susceptible to Ion-based weaponry or EMP-based strikes. Should the vessel be damaged or struck by such weaponry, there is the potential that these automated systems could be disabled or damaged, reducing the overall effectiveness and capabilities of the craft, as the crew would have difficulty maintaining these larger craft on their own.

Limited Armaments - The inclusion of various specialized facilities within these vessels has otherwise prevented them from carrying a heavier arsenal or array of armaments due to the internal capacity of the vessel being allocated to other facilities and needs. This has resulted in reduced armaments as additional weapon systems - beyond what was deemed needed for self-defense - were omitted from the finished product.

Hangar Capacity - Much of the internal capacity of these craft has been dedicated to various specialized facilities and workshops to further support the tasks and training of the individuals on these vessels. As such, the DSS-22 lacks the means to fully support and deploy even a singular squadron of Starfighters or Support Craft, and while capable of supporting a single smaller craft, this is often a limited-capacity support vessel, survey ship, or lifeboat.

DESCRIPTION

The foundation of the Mandalorian Sect, known as the Iron Wolves, has presented a new take on the otherwise ancient traditions of Force Users across the Galaxy by placing an emphasis on and infusing the teachings of the Force with the Mandalorian culture and ethos. Approaching this founding with the same endeavor that originally saw the creation of the DSS-19 Ka'ra-type, the original design team revisited their previous design and began to restructure the internal aspects whilst keeping the external structure intact to provide a vessel that, while externally the same, was still different in the specific tasks it is intended to complete. The main visual difference of these crafts can be seen from the exterior, such as that the DSS-22 Ba'jur-type is slightly larger than its predecessor, accounting for the additional space within the interior layout. While redesigning these craft, the engineers of Aether Systems further leaned into their experience and expertise in creating niche-built vessels to both address the needs and complement the newly established Mandalorian Iron Wolves. This was achieved with the inclusion of Meditation Chambers, or "Qabbrat", as each vessel carries up to four such chambers. These chambers are often utilized by Force-Sensitive individuals to mediate and further deepen their connection to and enhance their strength with the Force. Another need of the Iron Wolves that was easily remedied by maintaining previous design aspects was in their numbers, as they often operate in a pack of up to four individuals. Much like its predecessor, the DSS-22 Ba'jur-type also features an integrated Fondor Droid Mod that oversees and maintains many of the secondary and tertiary systems of these craft - though still ensures that vital systems such as Life Support and Navigation were left to the organic crew. However, while this does mean that these craft can be crewed and maintained by a smaller contingent, it also comes at a cost of greater susceptibility to Ion-based weaponry and EMP-based strikes. These vessels also feature additional features, such as housing multiple Bacta Tanks and Stasis Pods, to allow members of the pack to recover from injuries or be placed in stasis if more immediate attention is required. Much of the interior of these craft has also been expanded to include private rooms for each member, a Training Dojo equipped with sparring droids and training remotes, as well as an expansive Workshop to maintain and modify weapons and armor. Just as was seen in its predecessor design, the inclusion of these features has resulted in the removal of other features and aspects of these vessels. As such, the DSS-22 is incapable of housing or deploying even a singular Starfighter Squadron, though it is capable of deploying a single limited-capacity support vessel, survey ship, or lifeboat. Furthermore, this focus and emphasis on providing a mobile training facility has also seen to a lessening of its armaments, and these craft only maintain an arsenal that is deemed necessary for self-defense and nothing more. However, despite these drawbacks and the overall oddity of its aesthetics, the DSS-22 Ba'jur-type provides the Mandalorian Empire with a vessel intended to fill a niche that has likely been overlooked by other manufacturers. While massive warships and nimble strike craft are vital to securing the future of the Mandalorian Empire, the need to provide proper training and facilities for the newly christened Iron Wolves to strengthen these wolf packs is just as vital.
