- Hunter: The Beringr is a ship that is designed to be able to be taken on the offensive, with a very aggressive armament that allows it to deal heavy punches against enemies.
- Interceptor: The Beringr is extremely fast and maneuverable, allowing it to function as a patrol and pursuit craft as well as a standard interceptor.
- Large Profile: The Beringr has a larger ship profile than most standard interceptors, meaning it's easier to target and hit purely because of its physical size.
- Squadron Count: Each interceptor is its own 'squadron' making it a poor choice as a hangar complement.
On their great exodus from Rhen Var, speed was of the utmost importance to Clan Kyron. It was the antithesis of stasis, the antithesis of their former homeworld encased in ice and snow. but this need for speed would greatly influence further design elements in Clan Kyron's designs and products, no more evident than in the KSTR-31 Beringr-class Interceptor.
Its design suggests that it may have been an influence on the later model of Kom'rk-class fighter produced during the days of the Clone Wars. Although it is not exactly known how the much older ship would've been discovered nearly three millennia later, there are many elements of design that are similar between the two models, most particularly the profile of the two ships. Yet the Beringr-class is much smaller with much less room for transport -- a mild-sized cargo hold, bunk for one, and a seating area are the only inhabitable parts of the ship other than the cockpit.
The Beringr-class is an extremely fast ship, and well-deserving of it's classing as an interceptor. Very high maneuverability and acceleration, as well as atmospheric speed, allow the Beringr to cut through blockades and asteroids with equal skill. It also is a fierce fighter, with a powerful armament that can pack a punch. These two traits make up for its average defensive capabilities and large profile that serves as a detriment for the ship. All in all, the Beringr-class is a testament to the skill of not only weapons-crafting but as starshipwrights as well.
