Strengths:

• Arsenal: Heavily armed fighter with a myriad of weapons
• Snubfighter: Don't let its size fool you. Despite its profile and heavy weapons loadout, the Rawl-class heavy fighter moves through space just as well if not better than some other smaller fighters.

Weaknesses:

• Supervision Required: Without a hyperdrive the Rawl-class fighter is forced to be ferried around the galaxy in the hangars of larger ships.
• Supervision Required 2: Without a co-pilot or other flight assist droid the pilot is limited to two of its four weapons at a time, forcing them to switch off weapons systems to activate others.

Description: A fully geared out mainstay fighter. That is what the Purudii-class starfighter was for MandalMotors and many Mandalorian clans for the last few years since their war with the Sith Empire. It saw a large amount of popularity outside of the Mandalorian market as well due to its easily replaceable parts and relatively low upkeep costs. MandalMotors attempted to re-create that magic with the Rawl-Class heavy fighter. Derived from lessons learned both with the Mandalorian Gunship Mk. 2 and the Purudii-class starfighter, the engineers at MandalMotors merged the two starship ideologies to make a large starfighter with a relatively low upkeep cost. Because it is based off of the Purudii's design, it uses many of the same parts allowing for easily purchased and cheap alternatives to purchasing full priced new parts for the fighter.

Armed to the teeth it also has two rotating heavy laser cannons and a nose mounted laser/ion cannon which allows the pilot to switch between lethal and non-lethal modes of attack. Located just behind the cockpit is the ship's eyecatcher, the dual heavy laser cannon and underneath the ship lies a ventral flex-tube Ordinance Launcher. Without proper assistance from a co-pilot or some sort of astromech droid the pilot could only utilize two weapons systems at a time making a flying buddy essential to get full use out of the ship as dealing with the weapons and utilizing the maneuvering jets to their full potential is nearly impossible. A ventral astromech socket allows for the flight buddy to lock in to the ship before launching.

Without a hyperdrive the Rawl is limited in where it can go. Essentially chained to its home hangar or mothership holds a similar theme to some of MandalMotors' other recent designs which line up with the Mandalorian Empire's goals making it a mainstay for some Mandalorian Clans for holding their assets and land.
