Par’jila  Triumphant Name • Mandalorian Capital Ship Classification • Reclaimed Dreadnought Origin • The Mandalorian Clans Specifications Size • - Height: 1.25 km - Width: 1.25 km - Length: 3 km Appearance • Mandalore’s flagship may not be the largest dreadnought in the galaxy, but it packs every bit of a punch others in its class can. Another reclaimed relic from the last Mandalorian golden age, this heavily armored leviathan is as much a mobile hub for the Mandalorians as a warship. Its bridge sits to the aft-starboard side, with shield generators above and below. The behemoth is visually very heavily armored, a true metaphor of the people who inhabit it. While it looks like any military ship from the outside, the inside is more like stepping into a Mandalorian city. With a maximum capacity of 50,000, Par’jila only requires a small crew of 25,000, and no need for an actual army; which leaves many more merely living or operating from the dreadnought. Many big game hunters among the culture can be found here, seeking to join their warlord king on a hunt or to compete with their fellow Mandalorians. A single hangar bay sits at the bow, where ships arrive and depart from the dreadnought. Should it be needed, a full complement of bes’uliik and their riders stand ready to defend the capital ship. Its weaponry is similarly suited for defense, with a pair of heavy turbolasers, dozens of missile tubes, several medium turbolasers, and a single ion battery. Function A common sight throughout the galaxy, Mandalore the Regulator basically uses the dreadnought as a mobile palace. Wherever the hunt goes, so does Par’jila. When arriving in a new system, the Mandalorian slicers are always sure to broadcast an announcement of peace, and reassurance that the dreadnought had only arrived for sporting reasons. Which has been true, as all Great Hunts use the ship as the gathering hub. If a world is deemed civilized enough, Mandalore has even been known to grant visitation rites to those curious or seeking trade. While Par’jila’s bones and carapace are all classically restored, its facilities have since been updated; including enhanced sensory arrays, personnel support and weaponry, but unable to perform very deep excursions into space. Given the ship’s everyday use as a mobile hubstation for the Mandalorians, this works for them. Unlike many capital ships, it is usually seen alone to help keep the image of not a warship, but a spacefaring city. It is also a dare, to see if any would risk taking out the dreadnought- the penalty being a new crusade for the Mandalorians, which many still thirst for. Anyone else with a thirst, can slake it at the galaxy's largest and most exotic hunting lodge; where the Regulator and other big name hunters display their trophies. |
