- Star Ram: The Ramikad retrofit is very good at what it does: ramming. The plasma ram enables it to cut through defenses and deploy the complement of Mandalorians it has inside.
- Iron Defense: The Rami'kad is extremely resilient and able to survive ramming attempts to withdraw and be used again.
- Conventional Engagement: Outside of ramming and perhaps troop transport and blockade purposes, the Ramikad has very little utility and is underwhelming in direct armament engagements.
- Head-On Collision: Ramming requires maneuvering and speed, meaning the ship will likely draw combined fire from enemy formations as it approaches.
The Ramikad-class Ramming Corvette is an Iron Covenant retrofit of a corvette originally made for the Mandalorian Enclave. Old hulls were salvaged and upgraded with newer technologies and materials to integrate the corvette into the Mandalorian fleet. Its long legacy in Mandalorian naval service is a hallmark of the composition of the Mythos Fleet.
The corvette is fast, maneuverable, and a very hard nut to crack, thanks to its plethora of defensive systems as well as its extremely durable construction. As a traditional ship, the Ramikad poses little threat to other capital ships, outfitted with only five heavy laser cannons and a point-defense missile system. However, the Ramikad is not a traditional ship. It is designed to be used as a battering ram against larger capital ships.
The corvette's plasma ram gives it the necessary bite to be able to cut through opposing capital ship armor at high speeds. Afterwards, the front of the ship opens up to deploy a complement of warriors aboard, designed with a capacity of around 300 Mandalorian warriors. The ship's durable construction is designed to allow it to withdraw from a rammed opponent and continue fighting, perhaps the most significant upgrade of the retrofit.
The ship's strengths allow it to serve adequately enough as a blockade runner in certain situations. Inside are the necessary components to comfortably ferry the complement of Mandalorian warriors and crew, with berths, armor repair stations, a commisary, and a medbay; however accomodations are bare and not as extensive as those found on a larger capital ship. Extensive automation of systems drastically reduces the required number of crew to operate the ship.
