STRENGTHS

Shield-Bypassing Assault Capability - The Evasive-226-R field disruption system allows the Teroch-type to penetrate active planetary and starship shield barriers, enabling direct strikes against protected hangars, stations, and fortified surface targets.

Heavy Gunship-Grade Firepower - Twin KV22 heavy laser cannons, multiple auto-blasers, ion cannons, concussion missiles, and CL-3 cluster bombs give the craft destructive output far exceeding conventional starfighters.

High-Speed Strike Platform - Powerful sublight engines allow rapid approach, weapons delivery, and disengagement, minimizing exposure time during attack runs.

Exceptional Durability for Its Class - Beskar-reinforced plating, layered alloys, redundant shields, and a damage-reduction system allow it to absorb punishment that would cripple lighter craft.

Area-Denial Weaponry - CL-3 antistarfighter cluster bombs can devastate tightly packed enemy formations, bomber waves, and carrier launch corridors in seconds.

​

WEAKNESSES

Extremely Low Maneuverability - The heavy armor, weapons load, and reinforced structure make the Teroch-type sluggish in turns and poorly suited for close-range dogfighting.

Severe Friendly-Fire Risk - CL-3 cluster bombs do not distinguish between allied and enemy craft, making their use highly dangerous in mixed formations or near friendly capital ships. Any unexploded ordinance needs to be recovered or properly removed as it poses a threat to civilians that may pass through the area days, weeks, or months after a battle.

Large Sensor and Visual Profile - Its bulk and power output make it easy to detect, track, and target, especially during shield-penetration runs.

Limited Operational Flexibility - Optimized for frontal assault and strike missions, the craft performs poorly in reconnaissance, pursuit, or prolonged fighter engagements.

Vulnerable During Egress - After releasing cluster munitions or penetrating shields, its low agility makes it susceptible to concentrated interceptor pursuit.

​

DESCRIPTION

The Teroch-type Gunship is the Mandalorian Empire's embodiment of brute-force aerial warfare - built not to dance through combat, but to punch straight through it. Originally conceived as a fast-attack platform, the modernized Aether Systems variant transforms the design into a heavily armored strike gunship capable of engaging targets normally reserved for much larger vessels. Measuring eighteen meters in length and carrying the armament of a light corvette turret cluster, the Teroch-type occupies a dangerous middle ground between starfighter and assault craft. Its defining feature is the Evasive-226-R field disruption system, which allows the gunship to pass directly through active energy shields. This capability enables Mandalorian squadrons to bypass orbital defense grids, plunge into shielded cities, or breach capital-ship hangars with minimal warning, delivering firepower exactly where defenders expect to be safest. Once inside defended space, the Teroch-type unleashes overwhelming violence. Heavy laser cannons and ion weapons cripple hardened targets, concussion missiles rupture hull plating, and CL-3 antistarfighter cluster bombs scatter lethal submunitions across entire engagement zones. These weapons are devastating - but notoriously indiscriminate. Mandalorian doctrine strictly segregates Teroch-type squadrons from friendly formations during cluster deployment, as the munitions are just as likely to annihilate allied craft as hostile ones. Survivability is prioritized over elegance. Mandalorian iron plating, composite alloys, redundant shielding, and damage-reduction systems allow the craft to absorb punishment during shield breaches and high-density flak corridors. In exchange, maneuverability is sacrificed almost entirely; the Teroch-type does not evade danger - it outruns it or endures it. Operationally deployed in twelve-ship squadrons, the gunship is used as a shock weapon: saturating defenses, collapsing enemy formations, and carving open corridors for bombers, troop carriers, and capital ships to exploit. In Mandalorian fleet doctrine, the Teroch-type is not a duelist. It is a breaching charge with engines - fast, brutal, and terrifyingly effective, even to those fighting beside it.
