The Crusader-class Corvette has been a mainstay of the Mandalorian Military for centuries, used as a raid ship, a gunship, and a patrol vessel. The Type II is the progression of technology to reinforce the role of a mobile gunship. Designed to devastate pirate ships, attack craft, and maul smaller raiding vessels with powerful volleys of mass driver rounds.
The Type II was designed for extended patrols similar to the Sovereign-class Star Destroyer, alongside the Kandosii-class Dreadnought, or alone. To do this, its waste systems are instead connected to a small Molecular Furnace buried within the hull of the ship. Its used to produce ammunition for the vessel, war materials such as battle droids, and repair components for the ship, and its ground based units. It is of course limited in its capacity to produce, unable to create anything larger than a speeder through the conveyor and construction systems that operate along side it. Given enough time it could theoretically produce enough material to repair major damages, but it could be years given the size of the furnace and thus major repairs should be done at a repair station. Along this same vein, the ship makes use of a Solid Fuel Converter, designed to convert virtually any matter into power for fuel cells. When the molecular furnace is not in use, waste and trash is rerouted to this system to allow for replenishment of the ship's fuel cells.
The armor of the ships is a durable Mandalorian Steel plates reinforced by Echani Graphite cable cross-weave in an all or nothing style armament. The plates are covered with a layer of Laser Reflective Armor, used to redirect energy weapons such as Turbolaser and Ion cannons which can redirect the energy blasts, but the armor is easily damaged by slugs. While energy weapons find it very difficult to wear down the armor and hull plating, Slugs much more easily penetrate its defenses.
Shields, similar to the Alor-class, are set up in two layers. The outer shield layer is a Retribution Ray Shield, equipped with a rapid shutter systems to allow weapons to fire out unimpeded and to disable the Dovin Basal 'shield grab' attacks made popular during the Yuuzhan Vong War and the resurgence of the One Sith. This outer layer's Ray shield is able to return some of the output it absorbs and lashes out at the ships damaging it with a portion of the energy, though it is less resilient than normal. This energy dissipates over time and distance, with the maximum damage at close range being about half what it absorbs, about a third at standard range, and as little as one tenth at long ranges. The inner layer is an Deflector Shield, comparable to standard shielding, designed to be top of the line.
Offensively, the Crusader uses twenty repeating mass drivers on fast mount turrets, designed to fire a continuous volley of firepower at its targets. The weapons are plasma driven 40mm solid turadium slugs from repeating cannons commonly used as Anti-Air cannons in ground installations as its primary weapons comparable to a turbolaser in fire power though with a much higher rate of fire. They use independent powerpacks to provide what little energy they need to operate during combat. Combined with the Fast Mount turrets, the Crusader uses the Hi-Track Targeting Computers to target smaller attack craft effectively. The advanced targeting computers allow them to engage attack craft effectively, though not as well as point defense lasers which are capable of faster tracking speeds. In addition the turrets are capable of operating without power through the use of gear wheels and pedals, though are much less effective point defense weapons when used in this way. In addition to its primary armament, it uses two batteries of CIWS weapons to engage missiles, interceptors, and drones.

- All weapons are able to fire all Forward, all Aft
- Half of the weapons are able to fire Starboard, Port, Dorsal, or Ventral
Strengths:
- Quit Hitting Yourself: With Retribution Ray Shielding and Laser Reflective Armor, energy weapons like Turbolasers, Ion Cannons, and the like are not ideal to combat this corvette.
- Hi-Track: The Targeting Computers connected to the Fast Mount Mass Drivers allow them to engage smaller attack craft, though not quite as effectively as Point Defense Weaponry
- Armor Breakage: With repeated heat to the Laser Reflective armor, they eventually cease to function.
- Kinetic Weaponry: Slugs bypass most of the ship's defensive strengths (Such as Retribution Ray Shields and Laser Reflective Armor) and damage the Reflective armor plates very quickly.
- Laser Reflective Armor
- Powerful Point Defense
