- Isotope-5 Generators: Increased power output and sustainability, the Isotope-5 generator allows for more powerful weapons and shields while also being smaller than most other power generators, allowing for a larger hangar and more comfortable crew quarters.
- Deflector Shield Projector: With the power of the MTX Isotope-5 generators, the Preserver-class Dreadnought is able to project a powerful 15km deflector shield in order to protect allied ships from enemy fire.
- Home Base: The interior of the Preserver-Class has dozens of levels and hundreds of thousands of rooms, allowing itself to function as a mobile home base for the Mandalorian Empire. Armories, extensive medical bays, simulators, training rooms, and even docking clamps to dock with other capital ships allow for incredible flexibility in long campaigns away from home.
- AI Combat Analysis: In a limited capacity, BABUIR, Mandalore's defense system AI is able to connect to the ship via a long range receiver and mimic AI core, allowing for enhanced combat analysis and automation throughout the ship. It also improves the moral of the crew.
- Limiter: While the deflector shield projector is active no automated defenses either within or outside of the ship can be operated and main weapons systems such as turbolaser batteries and missile launchers cannot be utilized. Any other systems such as the gravity well projector and the ship's own deflector shields are deactivated, making it vulnerable to outside and inside assault.
- Exposed Tactical Assessment Tower: While not the bridge, much of the ship's sensory data comes through this tower and losing it would hinder data collection and distribution throughout the fleet causing disarray within the ship as well as in whatever fleet it is the command ship of
- Large Silhouette: Due to the ship being so large and generally being focused on fighting large capital ships, starfighters and shuttles can easily slip in and out of the Preserver's sensors, often being confused with space debris.
- Extremely Slow: The slowest ship in the Mandalorian fleet, the Preserver-class is outrun by many ships
- Slow Hyperdrive: A hyperdrive is a must on any warship, however, as long as the Preserver-Class was able to get to where it needed to be, designers thought power would be better spent elsewhere, thus making Hyperspace travel a long and arduous affair for the Preserver-Class
- Heavy Ion Weapons: Because much of the Preserver-Class' anti-starfighter defenses are automated, heavy ion weapons can not only disable the ship's shields, but also its ability to defend itself from small starfighters. It also disrupts and can end communication with BABUIR.
Description: The Preserver-Class Mandalorian Dreadnought was the largest project of collaboration the Mandalorians had ever completed. Designed by MandalMotors and a team specially selected by the Mand'alor herself, the Preserver was constructed across MandalMotors' shipyards utilizing resources from several clans and Mandalorian shipwright companies. Developed directly as an answer to the Sith Empire's Behemoth-class Dreadnought and rumors of the Alliance's Vanguard-class Dreadnought, the Preserver sported advanced weapons systems, specialized shield generators, and new automated point defense systems, all powered by several powerful isotope-5 reactors. Design innovations from dozens of Mandalorian companies influenced its overall finished look as well as its philosophy.
Moving from the bulbous and curved designs of previous Mandalorian warships such as the Mythosaur, Ash'amur, and Kandosii, the Preserver-class took its inspiration instead from ancient Mandalorian Wedge shaped designs popularized by various Imperial Powers throughout the millennia. The modified wedge allowed for better firing arcs across the ship's surface while also allowing for most of the ship's weapons to be focused on a single target. Automated point defense systems dotted the massive ship, cutting down on the crew requirements of the ship itself as the Mandalorians were still hurting personnel wise after their recent Civil War and the events that preceded that. Heavy turbolaser batteries and missile launchers make sure that the Preserver-class would convincingly win battles against smaller ships and its autocannons were able to provide supporting fire and precision bombardments for troops on the ground.
The isotope-5 generators didn't just power impressive weapons as the Preserver-class also had incredibly powerful shields, able to shrug off asteroids and turbolaser fire from smaller ships. Able to recharge its shield faster than most ships, a leftover from the original Ash'amur's design, it could take several beatings before weapons would break the shield and start digging into the tripple layered Mandalorian steel armor plating. The dreadnought also held on board a shield generator, designed to protect several dozen ships from powerful weapons such as the Behemoth-class' devastating axial beam cannon. It works in a similar way to any other shield generator and produces a shield of about 16km, fully enclosing itself, and several other ships around it. While the shield is active the ship cannot utilize any of its interior or exterior defense systems such as point defense lasers and anti-missile emplacements, nor can it fire any of its main weapons. It was estimated that the shield could take the equivalent of a single blow from the Behemoth before failing and needing to recharge. Weapons fire cannot exit or enter the shield, making friendly ships unable to assault enemies beyond the shield, but also keeping them safe from enemy fire.
Inside the ship's complex compartmentalized structure allows for back-up systems to power various sections themselves should the ship undergo terrible damage. Small blaster turrets and deployable barricades dot the floors to provide cover for the Mandalorians onboard in the unlikely event of an enemy boarding mission. Several mess halls, barrack-like areas, medical bays, and training rooms functionally made the Preserver-class also function as a mobile base and military training facility in the case of long, drawn out campaigns away from home. The ship boasted 6 separate hangar bays filled with fighters, support staff, droids, and various shuttles. Docking clamps and a comprehensive repair staff allowed for the ship to function as a minor repair yard for ships far from home. The Mandalorian Defense AI BABUIR wass also able to be reached and connected to, which allowed for heavy automation of waste removal systems, small maintenance, and enhanced combat data analysis.
The Preserver-Class was everything the Mandalorians had learned about producing large ships over the last several decades. A powerful reminder to the Galaxy that the Mando'ade were still here, and they were still hungry.
