Tal'Cabur, or "Blood Guardian" in Mando'a, was the mainstay support vessel for the newly commissioned Mando Fleet. Built from the rugged hull of an ore hauler type vessel, the Tal'Cabur was upgraded with modern weaponry and some of the most sophisticated electronics available to the Mandalorians.
The Tal'Cabur was one of the faster moving Mando ships, yet still slower than most ships of its class such as the Nebulon B. It featured light shields and heavy armor plating. 7 dual medium turbo laser turrets and 3 light laser turrets made up its main arsenal of weapons. For additional damage versus larger ships, a heavy beam laser turret was added to the belly of the ship and 2 flank mounted proton torpedo launchers were added. 2 small hangers were also present on the sides of the ship, allowing 2 squadrons of fighters to be deployed.
The real special feature of the Tal'Cabur was the 2 emitter pylons on the bow of the ship, that when activated would discharge an powerful electromagnetic shockwave that interfere with targeting computers of enemy vessels. By chance, this feature also happened to upset dovin basal nodes on Vong ships that would help guide the Vong projectiles. (Sundard Heart special effect from EAW)

So this ship is basically a slower moving heavy gun frigate, weak on Anti-Aircraft weaponry, strong versus corvettes and other frigates and the electromagnetic energy flux can effect any enemy ship in range.
3 more Mando ships remaining, Keldabe is up next in a few days...
Be cool if a modern version of the Kandosii was made for their fleet, that used to be their main ship it is one of the things they were known for. So what are the other 3 manda ships going to be?
Sadly, no Kandosii, need to break Mandos away from their past which they have forever been associated with. Authors seemed to have had one initial thought concept of Mandos and then just never evolved them
The mighty Phoenix in EvE, Now it's the Tal'Cabur in Yvaw yay \o/.
Great work!
It looks like it wants to kill stuff. Question though, how are the flank mounted torpedo launchers going to work? Will they be restricted to firing broadsides or will we get to see missiles shoot from the sides and curve to their target like pretty little fireflys of doom?
They are forward fixed for direct assaults.
They are the pod like structures ahead of the hangers and before the bow assembly. The ship can drive straight at an enemy vessel relying on its shields, strong armor and the electromag disruptor to hinder its target's defenses, then can sit in the middle of a combat zone to dish out damage while counting on its strong armor to allow survivability.
Exceedingly Mandalorian. Awesomeness.
Can't wait to see what you glorious geniuses have done with the Keldabe!
There's the Phoenix!
