STRENGTHS

• Superior Maneuverability - Outfitted with advanced maneuvering jets, sublight accelerator motors, and attitude thrusters, the ship has exceptionally tight turning ability and responsive controls—making it deadly in dogfights and evasive in atmospheric environments despite its size. It moves and fights more like a starfighter than a transport.
• Heavy Weaponry Loadout - Armed with solar ionization cannons, ion repeaters, torpedo launchers, flechette arrays, and A2G missile racks, the vessel is capable of engaging starfighters, larger capital ships, and surface targets alike. The wide selection of munitions allows it to be tailored for any mission.
• Layered & Specialized Shielding Systems - This ship boasts a multi-tiered defensive grid, including ray, particle, molecular, ion, relativistic, and radiation shielding, giving it remarkable survivability against ion storms, EMPs, radiation-heavy environments, and both energy and kinetic attacks.
• Multi-Role Combat Capabilities - Designed as a true hybrid, this ship can serve as a fighter, gunship, troop transport, or patrol craft. With air-to-ground ordnance and room for small speeder craft, it provides support in space, atmosphere, and ground operations.
• Durable Mandalorian Construction - Constructed with beskar, quadranium, and reinforced duraplast, the ship's hull is not only physically resilient to conventional firepower, but also provides high resistances to lightsaber strikes, energy-based sabotage, and hull breaches.
• Advanced Defensive Electronic s- Equipped with lock-threat warning systems, anti-missile countermeasures, and laser beam projectors, the vessel has advanced electronic warfare and countermeasure systems that make it harder to target or track effectively.
• Emergency Survival and Tactical Systems - Integrated systems like the immobilizer, self-destruct sequence, de-icing modules, and ablative foam dispensers make it suitable for black-ops, harsh environments, and scorched-earth tactics where retreat or denial of tech is necessary.

WEAKNESSES

• Larger Than a Standard Starfighter - At 70 meters in length, the ship is significantly larger than a typical fighter, making it easier to hit and limiting the kind of hangars it can deploy from. It straddles the line between a corvette and heavy gunship in some capacities.
• No Internal Hangar for Starfighters - While it can store small speeder craft, it cannot house or deploy traditional starfighters or strike craft, limiting its force multiplication potential in space combat compared to true carriers or corvettes.
• Resource-Heavy Maintenance - The complex shielding systems, weapon array, and internal tech such as the advanced gyrocomputer, relativistic shielding, and magnetogravitic layers, require frequent calibration and specialized technicians, which makes long-term deployment away from supply chains more difficult.
• Limited Troop Capacity - Despite being a "transport," this iteration prioritizes weapons and shielding over cargo or infantry space, limiting its troop deployment role to only small, elite strike teams, rather than full squads or platoons.
• Radiates High Power Signatures - Due to the number of active shield layers and armament systems, the ship has a noticeable sensor signature when in full combat readiness, making it difficult to conduct stealth operations unless modified or powered down.
• Weak Rearward Firing Arc - Although it includes a belly-mounted surface cannon and rear flares, rear-facing offensive weapons are limited, leaving it vulnerable to pursuing enemy craft or flanking maneuvers unless escorted or maneuvered carefully.

DESCRIPTION
The Kom'rk-Type Superior Fighter-Transport is a manifestation of Mandalorian military philosophy—where raw power, battlefield adaptability, and cultural heritage fuse into one fearsome war machine. Designed as a modern evolution of the historic Kom'rk-class—once a staple among elite Mandalorian forces—this vessel was born from the desire to reclaim that ancient legacy and refine it for the realities of modern warfare. For the Mandalorians of today, war is no longer fought solely in close-quarters or by brute strength; now it requires fast insertion, overwhelming firepower, atmospheric versatility, and technological superiority. The Kom'rk-Type Superior addresses these needs with precise, brutal efficiency.

The rational behind this craft's creation stems from a Mandalorian need to reclaim not just their place in the galaxy, but their identity—as warriors, engineers, and hunters. Where other galactic powers rely on uniform fleets or outsourced designs, the Mandalorians seek tools born from their own hands, shaped by their values. This vessel represents the culmination of centuries of battlefield lessons. From engagements with Jedi, Sith, Republic, and Empire alike, the Mandalorians have synthesized a ship capable of fast-deployment, surgical strikes, and prolonged survival in hostile environments. Its reinforced beskar-infused hull provides high tolerance to both energy weapons and physical impacts, giving it staying power against both dogfighters and capital ship barrages. Further augmented with quadranium, titanium, and lanthanide structural supports, the frame is designed to absorb, deflect, and outlast.

Armed to the teeth, the ship mounts a deadly suite of forward-facing and defensive weapons. Its solar ionization cannons allow it to pierce energy shields and power armor alike, while the ion repeaters and flextube torpedo systems give it flexibility against multiple target classes—from swarm fighters to hardened bunkers. With a diverse munitions bank that includes proton bombs, cluster missiles, ion torpedoes, and the exotic termite torpedoes, the craft can adapt to a multitude of combat scenarios without needing to return to resupply. In addition, its air-to-ground missile racks and flechette launchers ensure that the ship can support surface operations as effectively as it dominates space, making it ideal for tactical drops, fast raids, and scorched-earth assaults.

Defensively, the Kom'rk-Type Superior is a fortress in motion. Its shield matrix system is staggeringly advanced for a ship of its size, including layers of ray, particle, ion, molecular, relativistic, radiation, and magnetogravitic shielding. This multi-dimensional shielding offers protection not only from traditional turbolaser and plasma cannon strikes, but also against radiation storms, EMP fields, black-hole proximity hazards, and advanced tracking systems. For hostile lock-ons and missile threats, the ship deploys antimissile countermeasures, lock-threat warning arrays, flares, and even laser beam projectors to throw off guidance systems. In atmosphere, its magnetogravitic and atmospheric-friction shielding lets it dive at blistering speeds, where lesser ships would burn or break apart.

Mobility is where the Kom'rk-Type exceeds all expectations. Powered by the Starscream-9 Ion Drive—a retrofitted military-grade ion propulsion system—it achieves very high maneuverability and high sublight speed, allowing it to function in strike group roles or execute evasive maneuvers typically reserved for smaller starfighter craft. Supplemented by sub-light accelerator motors, attitude thrusters, and advanced gyroscopic stabilizers, the ship handles with a precision that belies its imposing frame. In addition to a primary 1.0 hyperdrive and backup 13.0 hyperdrive, the vessel includes de-icing systems, external speakers, signal beacons, docking collars, and even ablative foam dispensers for fire suppression or hull breaches.

Internally, the ship is tactical, not luxurious. With storage for three small speeder craft or a single larger speeder, the vessel is optimized for quick deployment of elite units—perfect for small Mandalorian strike teams, bounty missions, or fast extractions. However, this optimization comes with trade-offs. It cannot house traditional starfighters or large troop complements. The ship's sensor signature is considerable when fully powered, making stealth difficult unless custom-modified. Additionally, the sheer complexity of the systems means it is maintenance-intensive, and resource-heavy to produce, restricting widespread deployment.

Tarre Priest, among others in the Mandalorian design elite, personally oversaw the development of this vessel not only as a spiritual successor to the warbirds of old, but as a tactical answer to the growing power gaps between Mandalorian clans and galaxy-spanning empires. Where the Mandalorians have often lacked scale or numbers, they now seek precision, innovation, and modular dominance. The Kom'rk-Type Superior is a statement: a warrior's ship, designed by warriors, for war. It is a symbol of Mandalorian ingenuity, independence, and pride—flying into battle not just with guns blazing, but with a legacy reforged in beskar and fire.

Amazing sub! I found two wording issue, I'd like to ask you to reword here "extremely" because the Maneuverability has only Very High, and the defences has only High rating. And you know, the extreme rating requires that the sub can be only SU or U.

Extreme Maneuverability - Outfitted with advanced maneuvering jets, sublight accelerator motors, and attitude thrusters, the ship has exceptionally tight turning ability and responsive controls—making it deadly in dogfights and evasive in atmospheric environments despite its size. It moves and fights more like a starfighter than a transport.

Durable Mandalorian Construction - Constructed with beskar, quadranium, and reinforced duraplast, the ship's hull is not only physically resilient to conventional firepower, but also extremely resistant to lightsaber strikes, energy-based sabotage, and hull breaches.

Thanks for the catch. This was at first going to be Semi-unique and I missed the wording during the change. Edited as requested.
