Design
Early on in the design process,which began soon after the construction of the Cavalry-Class PC, there were many challenges faced. Cramming approximately 4 wings into a ship the size of the Asha'mur-class Star Destroyer was not going to work. However, something even only slightly bigger required so much energy that the ship would have to boast zero firepower and zero shields, leaving only life support and essential systems. It was around the time that the first prototype was created that the events that would become known as the Dark Harvest put Gilamar's projects on hold.
After the Mandalorian's aid on Elrood however, the money began to flow into MandalMotors requesting their aid with similar, though less extreme, problems. With the influx of money and fame, MandalMotors began working on another design. This design was a 3.5 Kilometer warship that boasted several hangars. The main hangars at the farthest ends of the ship held the essential fighter, bomber, and interceptor complement while the smaller hangars that dotted the ship held dozens of other ships with the "diplomatic" hangar located at the bottom of the supercarrier boasted several tractor beams and space for a few medium transports.
With its hypermatter reactor and redundant solar ionization reactors the Mythosaur-Class is able to also power all the essential systems of a warship including moderate shielding and a modest turbolaser battery and ion cannon battery complement. Though the ship itself is a behemoth it is not designed for one-on-one prolonged battles with ships of the same size or larger. Even with its massive fighter compliment and redundant shields it just doesn't have the bulk to fight on the level of other super star destroyer-type ships. It is also incredibly slow.
Its hangar space also comes with a price. Each hangar is designed to hold a certain number of certain sized fighters, making them notorious for not being able to fit everyone the way they were in a scramble retreat.
