Description

History: One of the first Alor-Class ships to be designed and ordered after the initial announcement and launch of the highly coveted warship by Mandal Hypernautics, The Katyadr was designed as House Skirata's flagship vessel. Designed to support and act as a mobile invasion force it strove to replace the Mythosaur-class carrier after it was lost to the stars. Serving in the opening years of the war against the One Sith, for a time it served as the Mandalorian Clan's main flagship as it was Gilamar Skirata's flagship, the Mand'alor of the Mandalorian people. It saw battle in several skirmishes and supported large scale invasions throughout the war with the One Sith but was put on reserve after Gilamar's assumed death.

After his return the renamed Skirata'yaim saw service in reclaiming lost Mandalorian territories. However after Mia Monroe and company decimated Mandalore's surface the ship became one of the few Alor-class ships to make it off world with hundreds of thousands of refugees. During this time Gilamar was critically injured and kept on board the Skirata'yaim in its med bay while another led the remnants of House Skirata and its refugees through old Mandalorian space before settling in Galactic Alliance space. However when Civil War came to Mandalore and Gil was secretly imprisoned by a political rival, the ship took the name Tyatr Shukala and was put back into service with some slight modification.

However once it was found that Gilamar Skirata was indeed still alive, those loyal to him split from House Skirata, mutinying against the captain and fled to the Outer Rim Coalition with Gilamar in tow. Once there the ship began to take on less of a combat role and instead shifted into a mobile colony. Much of the missiles, weapons, and original storage space towards the front and beneath the ship was gutted and converted into docking bay and starship service area, overseen by a hangar traffic control suite protected by overlapping shields and magnetic containment fields to keep oxygen and pressure regulated. It also traded much of its original cargo space for living quarters, but on a ship as large as it was, this only limited the amount of storable consumables by a few years which was an acceptable trade considering how many friendly ports were in jump range of the ship at any one time.

Military Design: The Alor-class was at the end of the day, built to be a dedicated war ship, and little changed when Gilamar and the Wretched Hive moved in to convert the ship into a livable space. Armor plated with Mandalorian Steel with a tank ceramic covered alusteel hull, the Alor is a tough nut to crack, and that was before the redundant shields. Weapons and point defense systems litter the top of the ship, protecting the internal bridge. A compartmentalized design helps keep systems running throughout the ship even when under heavy stress or serious damage to the ship and light internal defenses keep would be intruders wary (as if a ship full of Mandalorians wasn't enough to make them wary).

As far as weapons go, to save on storage space, many of the ship's weapon emplacements were replaced with turbolasers, decreasing the weapons' effective range, but keeping the floors free for settlement, though much of the ship's point defense system is still dominated by Flak and missiles still play a large role in the ship's offense. This does keep the ship from keeping up in fire rate when pitted against similarly sized ships, but it also makes it incredibly deadly at close ranges.

The ship's hangars and launch tubes provide ample space for the ship's 5 squadrons of fighters and gunships to launch and be received. However, unlike the standard version of the Alor-class, the nacelle hangars on The Ketyadr continuously stay open and extended to allow for free travel of Mandalorians in and out of the ship. Only under extreme circumstances are the hangars shut, allowing exclusively for ship launch through the launch tubes.
