Designed entirely by Mandalorian Technologies Incorporated, the Guild Gunship was commissioned by President Beff Pike of the Bounty Hunters Guild.

Only one hundred-twenty meters in length, the Gunship was designed to function well on its own during long journeys into hostile space as well as preform amiably in fleet situations. It can remain under cloak for longer durations, while moving faster at sublight speeds then previously thought possible. Its shape and thrust-vector engines along with a system of enhanced maneuvering jets make for an extremely nimble and swift ship. As such, it was designed to preform more akin to a starfighter then large capital ship.

The Guild's main armament comes in the form of six Ion cannon turrets and five Turbo-Laser batteries, these are intermixed along the ventral and dorsal surfaces with excellent fire coverage. It also carries two energy torpedo tubes at the extremes of its mandibals and four concussion bays mounted along the port and starboard edges (these fire forward only).

Though it carries no Starfighters standard, the large cargo bays are capable of hosting one starfighter, eighteen meters or two smaller, 9 meter, starfighters, if all cargo has been removed. Every space in the ship is packed with vital systems, thus; the interior of the ship remains somewhat cramped, though spacious enough for the twelve crew.

Over-all a very competent craft, it remains to be seen how well the Gunship will preform in the service of the Bounty Hunters Guild.


The largest drawbacks of the Guild Line of ships are found in their cost, which is so high it make the craft prohibitive for private use. Also, the ships small crew can be a weakness as each fills a very vital roll, if one is lost, the crafts effectiveness drops radically. Sensors are geared mainly towards running the DER and as such, its sensor range is not as large as other ships its size. In situations where the craft is not free to move, it becomes immediately vulnerable, likewise, without the cloak the Guild looses one of its major defensive and offensive capabilities.

Shields aboard the craft are military-grade and have to be given constant attention so as to be kept from interfering with the ships cloaking device. The power-cores are taken from an Imperial design while the engines, of racing-grade, were selected from among the galaxies most powerful. Sensors were similarly chosen from the best available. It naturally has a very endurable hull, as comes with the Mandalorian Cloaking Device.

The crew are chosen from among the most hardy ex-spacers and can easily manage long sojourns in deep space while also remaining able to host passengers, cargo or, even enter combat situations.
