OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
  • Intent: To create a heavy assault transport for Strill Securities.
  • Image Source: Here.
  • Canon Link: N/A.
  • Permissions: N/A.
  • Primary Source: N/A.
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
STANDARD FEATURES
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
STRENGTHS
  • Heavy and Versatile Armament: Seven fast track fire-linked quad RHM-04 repeating heavy mass-driver cannon turrets and four fire-linked MMOL-02 modular ordnance launchers put a frightening array of weapons at the crew's disposal, allowing them to engage targets in both space and in atmosphere effectively.
  • Resilient: The transport is heavily armored, well shielded and features both a cap drain and a combat de-ionizer, making it resistant to many forms of damage and thus making the transport an extremely tough nut to crack. Combining this with the soft-kill active protection system makes it perfect for use in deploying troops and vehicles to hot landing zones.
  • Advanced Sensor and Comms Suite: The Vuhyr'galaar has an advanced and long range comms and sensor suite, ensuring effective coordination and target acquisition.
  • Stealthy: The electronic warfare suite of the transport and its low-profile engines ensures that it has a very low sensor profile at medium and long ranges, which means the enemy potentially has less time to prepare to engage both the transport itself and its passengers and complement.
  • 'Manda' Tactical Battlenet: The Vuhyr'galaar benefits from having the fighter based version of the 'Manda' tactical battlenet as well as the ground variant, allowing it to benefit from sensor and targeting data from both accompanying fighter craft, capital ships as well as ground units. Additionally, the crew can benefit from the system's threat tracking and analysis features, allowing them to potentially gain the edge over an enemy combatant in a dogfight because of the system's potential to analysis of the other pilot and craft's capabilities and its following recommendation on how to counter both.
  • Expansive Transport Capacity: The Busayr has an expansive transport capacity that allows it to deliver large numbers of troops, materiel and vehicles directly to the front lines.
WEAKNESSES
  • Low Maneuverability: Unfortunately, the craft's powerful engines cannot make up for the weight of the various systems and subsystems mounted on the transport, and as such it's maneuverability does suffer in comparison to similarly sized craft.
  • Large Target: The transport is a large target, and while it's a very resilient craft, it's size does mean it will potentially take more fire than other transports and eventually defenses can be worn down or simply invalidated by massed weapons fire or particularly powerful weapons.
  • Outnumbered: Like most Mandalorian craft, and in the particular case of Strill Securities, Vuhyr'galaar pilots often find themselves heavily outnumbered. Naturally, this stems from the low numbers per squadron that they're fielded in.
  • Boom: The Busayr carries a lot of ordnance, if a shot penetrates the armor and reaches the ordnance storage with enough energy left to detonate something, then it's very likely that the transport will be destroyed entirely in the ensuing detonation of that ordnance and the following sympathetic detonation of the remaining ordnance.
  • Low Aft Defenses: There's only a single dual RHM-04 repeating heavy mass-driver facing the rear of the craft, and given the size of the craft and its low maneuverability, the rear of the craft is relatively unprotected.
DESCRIPTION
"I'm happy to serve on one, but why the shab's it called the Comet?"
"First time flying, ad'ika? Start her up and wait till we get in the air, you'll find out soon enough."
- New Strill Securities pilot and his veteran gunner.
Traditionally, Mandalorians used corvette sized vessels to ferry the majority of their ground troops to surface engagements, however with drop pods becoming more prevalent and smaller gunships coming more into use as well, transport vessels were only really needed to transport vehicles. The advantage of craft like the Busayr, and the Busayr in particular is that it's easier for a craft like it to make it planetside than it would be for a corvette sized vessel. Strill Securities personnel who use it, have mixed feelings about it. They either love it for its resilience and firepower, or hate it for being a big target with low maneuverability.

On the subject of the ship's firepower, the Busayr is armed with seven fast track fire-linked quad RHM-04 repeating heavy mass-driver cannon turrets and four fire-linked MMOL-02 modular ordnance launchers, which put a frightening array of weapons at the crew's disposal, allowing them to engage targets in both space and in atmosphere effectively. The transport is heavily armored, well shielded and features both a cap drain and a combat de-ionizer, making it resistant to many forms of damage and thus making the transport an extremely tough nut to crack.

Finally, the transport's design is complicated, making maintenance of the transport a time consuming process that can only be done by those who are familiar with the intricacies of the design, its various subsystems and with the right set of tools available to them.
