Description:

The Orar'uliik is the bastard child of generations of raiding culture lost to modernization and the very same modernization that overtook the old ways. Designed to be robust, fast, and reliable in almost every way, the ship is highly modular and the most advanced of its kind, kept for official military use, sport the absolute best in durability, stealth, and speed in the galaxy. All these attributes coupled with the ease, simplicity, and speed of the ship's assembly make the Orar'uliik, or Thunder Beast in Mando'a, the most terrifying raiding ship of its kind currently in existence in the galaxy.

The basis of the ship is its design, construction, and materials. The simplest of these is the design itself. The Orar'uliik's plans and schematics are detailed and complex, but are simple to follow and understand. Those building the ship find that the vessel requires only the knowledge of basic mechanics and electronics and the knowledge to use the tools required. The construction is fairly simple and can be done with proper materials and manpower in a month or less, usually in two to three weeks or so. However, even when manpower is scarce, the ship can still be built, but over one to three months. This means that even small clans or homesteads can construct an Orar'uliik over time, something unseen in any current ship on the market. The materials are extremely basic and consist of the standard shipbuilding materials available to most markets. The components don't even require machining if machining equipment is not available. Metal panels and bulkheads function just as well when cast, forged, or stamped meaning that ships can be built from machined parts or even assembled with handmade components. This makes the ship easily reproduced, simply made, and extremely reliable as if a ship is damaged, the homestead can repair the vessel for nearly no cost so long as the parts or materials are handy.



Development Thread:
Intent: To create a sophisticated, durable, and lethal raiding ship that is capable of hard-hitting stealthed raids against even the most well protected of worlds. Also, to create a ship that can be used in a variety of ways and forms that can be easily produced and reproduced in both large and small scale in a simple format. Lastly, to create a ship that helps bring the Mandalorians back to their raider heritage and to influence Mandalorian culture towards a more clan/homestead and familial basis centered around the freedom of choice.
