STRENGTHS

Pocket Carrier - Considerably larger than its predecessors, the Kom'rk-type was designed with the capability to support and deploy either a single squadron of starfighters or bombers to provide additional support during routine patrols, escort missions, or cover the contingent of Mandalorians as they are deployed into designated drop zones.

Drop-seat Bay - This specialized bay contains a rack that can comfortably seat up to twenty Mandalorians warriors along with their equipment, who are then deployed from the bay doors that open along the ventral surface of the vessel. This allows a contingent of Mandalorains to be rapidly deployed without needing the vessel to be grounded.

Increased Maneuverability - The overall design of the vessel heavily focused on increasing speed and maneuverability which results in a highly agile Corvette capable of reaching staggering acceleration at both Sublight and Light speeds.

​

WEAKNESSES

Rotating Wings - The Kom'rk-type wings alternated between an upright landing position when grounded and a horizontal configuration while flying, whilst also being able to rotate around the vessel's main body, allowing for increased maneuverability. However, the connection points and specialized systems that are utilized to achieve this mobility are considerably fragile. Damage to these components can render the vessel incapable of articulating its wings, and in the most severe cases, result in the wing being shorn off from the fuselage.

Drop-seat Bay - While permitting the vessel to rapidly deploy a contingent of Mandalorians, the bay also presents a structural weakness along the ventral surface of the Kom'rk-type. As such, damage to the bay doors has the potential of rendering them stuck open, further exposing the interior of the vessel to attack.

Light Armaments - Many of the standard armaments that would have otherwise been present were removed or reduced in favor of increasing the hangar capacity of the vessel. This has resulted in a lessened armament that the Kom'rk-type can bring to bear against a target.

DESCRIPTION

The Kom'rk-type Combat Transport represents the third design in a new series of designs to be produced and manufactured by Aether Systems under contract with the Mandalorian Empire. The design of the Kom'rk-type is considerably larger than its predecessors, as seen in its designation as a Corvette rather than a tride-and-true Transport, whilst also maintaining many of the original design features and aesthetics of its predecessors, first created for the Death Watch under Pre Vizsla. These design aspects can be noted in the inclusion of a specialized Drop-seat Bay located toward the rear of the vessel and opening along the ventral surface of the Kom'rk-type. This specialized bay houses a specialized rack that can comfortably seat up to twenty Mandalorian Warriors and their equipment, and can deploy them rapidly without the vessel needing to be grounded. However, the main drawback of this design is that the bay doors themselves present a structural weakpoint along the ventral surface of the craft, with damage to the doors having the potential to render them inoperable - either preventing them from opening, or preventing them from closing properly - thus exposing the interior of the vessel to additional danger. Much like its predecessors, the Kom'rk-type retains the articulating wing design that allows the wings of the craft to alternate between an upright landing position when grounded and a horizontal configuration while flying. This system also allows the wings to rotate around the main body of the vessel, adding to the craft's already formidable agility and maneuverability. Where the Kom'rk-type shines is in its classification as a Pocket Carrier - thanks to its larger size compared to its predecessors - this craft was designed with the capability to support and deploy up to a singular squadron of starfighters or bombers that can be utilized during routine patrols, escort missions, or to assist in securing a drop zone before deploying Mandalorians. However, this has come at the cost of armaments, as the additional room required to support this hangar bay has resulted in a lower armament than would have otherwise been present on a vessel of a similar size. An able troop transport, the Kom'rk-type Combat Transport also has little trouble living up to the needs of the Mandalorians, with its armaments and maneuverability allowing the starship to also serve as an effective assault craft when needed. The overall design of the Kom'rk-type, even with its flaws and drawbacks, still provides the Mandalorians with an agile and capable transport that can easily and rapidly deploy large numbers of Mandalorians into a combat zone without risking its own safety by landing. Overall, the Kom'rk-type Combat Transport provides the Mandalorian Empire with a capable craft that can easily take and hold a designated position with minimal support from additional sources.
