The Kandosii-type dreadnought, was named after the Mando'a word for "ruthless", and was the largest capital ship used by the Mandalorians during the Mandalorian Wars.
Characteristics
The Kandosii design had sharp, thin lines and were based on a variety of stolen technologies. A notable flaw in their design was that their hyperspace navigation systems could be crippled by a strategically placed shot to the rear of the ship.
Kandosii-type dreadnoughts were also well armed, with 30 medium dual turbolaser batteries providing the main offensive firepower. They also carried 12 point-defense triple laser cannons placed in strategic locations to provide full hull coverage. Each dreadnought also had 12 super heavy concussion missile launchers with standard missiles that could destroy capital ships, or hold nuclear warheads to bombard planets. These missile launchers were located in the vessels bow and the lower superstructure.
Complement
The Kandosii-type had a large cargo hold and could carry up to 128 starfighters for self-defense and offensive strikes. Each dreadnaught would also carry eight troopships with 800 troops each. In addition to these, the Kandosii-type could carry seven Basilisk war droids.
History
Originally designed and built by the Fenelar, the Mandalorians stole the Kandosii-type design, during their conquest and destruction of the species. These dreadnaughts were later used by the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders during the Mandalorian Wars against the Galactic Republic.
One dreadnought led a battle group of Jehavey'ir-type assault ships during the Battle of Serroco, where the fleet bombarded the planet's surface with nuclear missiles. Later on in the war, a vessel of this type commanded by Cassus Fett bombarded the surface of Jebble to stop the Rakghoul Plague from spreading to other systems.
