Ornithopter vehicles first became known to the technical minds of the Kainate during the reign of the One Sith. In 843 ABY, the One Sith launched an assault upon the Galactic Republic stronghold of Kashyyyk, a vital system at the crossroads of five hyperlanes; the Randon Run, the Trellan Trade Route, the Nigut Road, the Durkteel Loop, and the Great Kashyyyk Branch. A successful military operation against the Republic on Kashyyyk would break open the gate to the rest of the Republic, enabling the One Sith to strike any corner of the Republic's dwindling territory.The Battle of Kashyyyk saw both the Republic and the Kingdom of Kashyyyk lose against the insurmountable onslaught of the One Sith. When the Republic was forced to withdraw, the native Wookiees continued to resist fervently against the occupying Sith. The vehicles employed by the Wookiees was unlike anything the Sith or their Imperial forces had seen before. They were propelled by wings connected to the craft by sophisticated magnorotors that allowed the airship to fly and maneuver without the aid of repulsorlifts.
Though the One Sith at the time did not pursue any research into this technology, the followers loyal to Darth Vornskr, who in later years would become Darth Carnifex, took note of the technology and apprehended several vehicles during the occupation. Even after the One Sith were forced to withdraw from Kashyyyk due to the mounting Akala Crisis, the design plans for Wookiee magnorotors would remain logged in Sith archives.
These plans weren't followed up until they were rediscovered by Kainate scientists during a combing of the Sith archives following the fall of the Sith Empire. Recognizing their potential, the plans were incorporated into the design of a new aerial combat craft. It was designated as the KR-1 Atmospheric Combat-Reconnaissance Craft (KR-1-ACRC), but was more colloquially known as the Shyrack; named after the flying creatures native to Korriban.
The KR-1 was designed as an atmospheric reconnaissance and assault craft, capable of nimbly navigating any atmosphere with the aid of eight magnorotors moving in concert with one another. The introduction of modifiable hardpoints allowed the KR-1 to be outfitted with an array of weapons in multiple configurations, allowing the craft to be extremely versatile for nearly any combat scenario.
