Crafted for specialty paratrooper and airborne units of the Trade Defense Force, made to be used by light infantry deployed from gunships and other sub-atmospheric craft into battle, allowing for a 'take all comers' standard issue battle rifle that was compact and able to deal a great amount of damage in venues of combat where heavier weapons may be unable to provided to the user. Learning lessons from the 'SBR-60x', a battle rifle commissioned by the New Imperial Order at the onset of the Third Imperial Civil War the Trade Federation set out to make an improved and overall more effective model of the battle rifle.
Though it failed to 'truly' make due on the 'carbine' nature of the weapon's design at its onset with the user demands for accuracy and increased firepower demanding the marksman barrel which the Skakoan designers sought to integrate into the BKM increase its length past its intended design, making it larger and slightly more unwieldy to use though its made up for the in the sleek and compact ergonomics of the particle beam rifle. Another sacrifice had to be made in the default power pack ammunition capacity of the rifle as the power demands made a power pack though roughly the same in size of the SBR-60x's provide not as many shots, slicing down its ammunition capacity below the sought after three figure mark to a mere 85 shots.
Though this wasn't ideal for most standard issue blasters, field tests in TDF bandit fighting operations on Er'kit claimed while it was a less than desirable amount of ammo, the increased firepower of the rifle made it still desirable as a standard issue rifle as while reloads were theoretically more frequent, the rifle packed enough punch to necessitate more pulls of the trigger to begin with. All the while, the field tests found a vast increase in user accuracy and ergonomics as Karovnogal compiled several favored third party modifications, standardized them to retain the TF manufacturers stamp on the product while retaining the desired effect each modification allowed for, allowing for a wider array of uses for the Battle Karbine.
