ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• Compartmentalized Design
• Robust Shield System
• Bes'uliik Drop Hangar
• Drop Pod Launchers
• Compensation Thrusters
• Deflector Shield Generator

Strengths:

• Powerful assortment of weapons
• Separate deflector shield generator allows the Cabur to project a deflector shield around itself and its allies for a limited time.
• Compartmentalized design allows for the ship to suffer full perforations in battle or even lose systems to slicers and continue fighting, providing various sections of the ship with its own life support, power, and even shutters to keep sections properly pressurized.

Weaknesses:

• While Cabur is utilizing its external deflector shield, its own shields are deactivated and its weapons cannot be fired and its movement speed is slowed to Very Slow
• Due to the recoil of the spinal hypervelocity cannon, the Cabur must be still in order for its compensation thrusters to work properly or risk being launched severely out of position or engine failure
• Must be facing target to utilize spinal hypervelocity cannon
• Engine Blindspot
• The superstructure extending downward from the main hull of the ship holds the bulk of the Cabur's missile launchers. Severe damage to the superstructure could set off a chain of explosions that would severely damage the ship's hull

Description: Custom ordered by the Alor of Clan Solus, the Cabur was a heavily modified and refitted Kandosii Type II dreadnought that saw combat in both the Vong-Mandalorian Wars and the Pirate Wars. Built around a single, high powered spinal hypervelocity cannon, the Cabur was about half as long as a standard Kandosii Type II dreadnought, making it the largest destroyer-class dreadnought that MandalMotors had made since the Akaata-Class Dreadnouhgt which had been retired from production due to its exorbitant cost. Due to the recoil of the hypervelocity cannon, the structure of the large X-shaped engines of the Kandosii Type II had to be modified to support a second set of thrusters, designed to be activated during the cannon's firing sequence so the ship wasn't sent flying back into its allies. This did mean however that the ship was required to stop any forward movement in order to fire as both engines couldn't be used at the same time. Consequently these thrusters also offered the Cabur enhanced maneuverability over its smaller cousins.

Despite the increase in size, much of the ship's original hangar space was replaced with powerful redundant systems and the external deflector shield generator. Unlike the Type II, the Cabur was also modified with the compartmentalized design that had become a staple of MandalMotors ship design sometime after the Type II's initial launch. This allowed the Cabur to sustain heavy damage and even full hull perforations and still remain functioning in the heat of battle, offering greater survivability to both the ship and its crew. The hangar space was also taken up by an external deflector shield generator that would project a large spherical deflector shield around the Cabur and any nearby ships within a diameter of 4km, about double the length of the Cabur itself. Similarly to the recent Preserver-Class Super Dreadnought, the shield projector required a large amount of energy, which deactivated the ship's own deflector shields and cut its abilty to perform mast maneuvers significantly. In return, the shield generator would project a powerful deflector shield outward, protecting itself and nearby allies, serving as a defensive bastion for the Solus fleet.

The Cabur was a prime example of Mandalorian ingenuity and their tendency towards utilizing and refitting older technologies for modern uses. The Cabur was a one of a kind Kandosii Type II dreadnought, and one of the largest ever produced by MandalMotors. The aged vessel would continue to serve as the Solus flagship for years to come.
