- Iron Gate: The Y'ivra-class is built around the manipulation of and control of hyperspace travel. Its abilities as an interdictor vessel are extremely potent, with Maeni Interdiction Field Generators that give the interdictor ample ability to control and lock down hyperspace travel; the ship can create a powerful interdiction field with the capability of forcing ships to revert from hyperspace, with the potential to disable them while doing so.
- Pathfinder: The starship's Nephthys Hyperspace Inhibition Projectors allow for ships to effectively use the interdictor as a tool for advanced hyperspace navigation; ships can align alongside the interdictor, and the interdictor's inhibition projectors can thus forge new, temporary routes through hyperspace, with fleets aligned to the interdictor being all but able to ignore conventional hyperroutes.
- Impenetrable Defense: The Y'ivra-class's defenses are of an unmatched quality, and the ship is designed to be able to weather most damage that could befall it.
- Low Armament: Interdiction capabilities come at a cost, and for the Y'ivra that means sacrificing many armament systems. Thus the armament of the cruiser is substandard when compared to standard ships of its class.
- Temporary Hyperroutes: The routes forged by the Y'ivra are temporary; if a interdictor is disabled or destroyed, for example, ships will not be able to return via the same route forged by the interdictor.
- Flanking: With a traditional wedge design, the Y'ivra-class's propulsion systems are vulnerable to flanking maneuvers.
Those who control the hyperlanes control the galaxy, most scholars of warfare and naval tactics can agree.
As the Mandalorian Enclave's nascent naval power emerges, its need to be able to not just respond to enroaching threats but lock down their borders, systems and hyperroutes when necessary has become apparent. And so to meet the need: the Y'ivra-class Interdictor, a light cruiser-sized ship designed all around hyperspace manipulation. On its surface, the Yi'vra seems to be a non-threatening design, with pitifully few armaments to boast of when compared to the standard for ships of its size.
However, the true lethality of the Y'ivra is hidden below, behind its thick, near-impenetrable armor: the secret to hyperspace control.
The starship is a new generation of interdictor vessels, with more sophisticated technology that gives it an advantage when it comes to naval warfare. Featuring Roble Manufacturing's RMR-H21 Maeni Interdiction Field Generators, the Y'ivra can do more than create a simple gravity well; when significant energy is generated through successful forced reversions, this energy can be converted into power surges that increase the lethality of the interdiction field, with the potential to override affected starship's artificial gravity and even potentially harm the structural integrity of the starships themselves. On top of that, the Y'ivra is able to pick and choose which parts of space surrounding it are affected by the interdiction field; and a passive anti-shimmering field prohibits starships from advanced maneuvers.
It's ability to lock down hyperspace lanes is one main aspect of the starship; its ability to create new ones, albeit temporarily, is the other. Utilizing an array of hyperspace inhibition projectors, the interdictor is able to create temporary hyperspace lanes that it and aligned ships can use to travel through, effectively bypassing conventional hyperspace lanes. However a downside of this technology is that this method of travel is wholly contingent on the interdictor, since as soon as a forged-hyperspace lane is traveled through it collapses behind. If an interdictor is disabled in battle, ships will have no other choice than to take the long way home.
Altogether, the interdictor is a powerful ship, and no doubt will play a key role in naval tactics, maneuvers, and strategy. And, like all Mandalorian designs, it can expect to forge itself a legacy of glory and blood.
