Description: Originally three CR92a corvettes were brought to Beskar'ad Inc for retrofitting for a multi purpose/role corvette. The role for the ship was to have a small, quick corvette who could launch star fighters, safely and swiftly put infantry on the ground via drop pods, insert heavy artillery units in the tanks, as well as using the multi roled ori'verd. Too many engagements were too massive for large capital ships to meet the needs of the mandos on a small scale. Add in the smaller roles that the mandalorians often found themselves in and this modified ship allowed for a larger, more diverse force to be used on many different locales and scenarios.
With all the alterations Kal Kandossii decided to use the money from the job to purchase several other corvettes to retrofit for Mandalorian and Mandalorian Protector use/purchase.

There in it details the larger hangar, the use of Tie fighter in place of the escape pods, which are larger then the drop pods, and the temporary rail system for the squadron of fighters.
