Description: The brain child of Old Sith Empire Sith Lords, a chatty Echani shipwright, a daring Mand'alor, and a grumpy Mandalorian Gogi, the Shev'la Kal was the first cloaked capital ship to grace the galaxy in a thousand years. It was a project of untold cooperation and secret dealings and MandalMotors was the one at the end of the day to come away with the pride of Mandalore, a Silent Blade to be used against Mandalore's enemies. While the ship saw little combat it would serve Gilamar Skirata as his personal flagship for most of his time as Mand'alor before it was locked away at Location 6 to undergo various tests in an attempt to make a production model of the ship. Nearly a decade after its creation, MandalMotors managed to imitate the successful stealth technology and developed the Kyor-Class stealth cruiser. An intensely secret project by MandalMotors, it was funded by the new Mandalorian Empire after a loose lipped Dorn Skirata spilled told Mand'alor Yasha Mantis about the project in an attempt to gain favor with her.

Covered in black, hexagonal panels, the ship was already difficult to see in the inky blackness of space. The Kyor-class stealth cruiser was also built upside down, placing much of the ship's engineering components such as the powerplant and stealth core near the top of the ship and its hangars and command deck on its belly. This was done to limit the amount of light from viewports in space. The top of the ship was also made to dissipate the heat of the ship, making it difficult to be tracked via heat sensors. The ship's thrust trace dampeners also helped with reducing engine signals on scanners. A suite of sensor dampeners and other common psuedo-stealth tech combined with the stygium stealth device make the ship incredible difficult to spot both with the naked eye and scanners.

The Kyor-class's own scanners were also quite impressive, making it an excellent scout ship and base for stealth operations by the Mandalorian Empire. Despite its ability to move in close quickly and undetected, the Kyor-class lacked powerful anti-capital ship weaponry, similarly to the Shev'la Kal. As proven with its forefather, powerful and robust weapons systems combined with stealth tech make for a prohibitively expensive design, and thus the ship was given a small amount of turbolasers and a pair of forward fixed heavy ion cannons with the rest of its weapons dedicated to automated point-defense systems. Instead, the ship utilized Mandalorian Steel armor plating and powerful shields to tank damage and powerful engines to run away if caught off guard. The Kyor-class was the culmination of years of secret work by Mandalorian engineers and would continue to serve the Mandalorian Empire in a variety of roles including a research ship due to its ability to withstand intense radiation and heat coupled with its powerful sensor suite. After its construction and the christening of its first vessel, the original Shev'la Kal went missing...

I want to wreck this, but it balances out.
