Background: The Davaab-type starfighter was a type of starfighter used by the Mandalorians from before and during the Mandalorian Wars.
It’s name derived from the Mando’a word for “carrying out” and “execution,” the fighter was used by the Mandalorians for capital ship protection. The 8.8 meter long Davaab starfighter was wide, boasting asymmetrical wings: a longer, bent fin-shape wing and a shorter wing with a cannon. A bubble canopy allowed the pilot to see his immediate surroundings. The craft was designed to land with each wing rotated horizontally, similar to the operation of the B-wing starfighter millennia later. The design of the fighter also vaguely resembled the Miy’til and Ginivex-class starfighters of the Clone Wars era.
It was based on a heavily modified Core Galaxy Systems model from before the Great Sith War, and could be seen in many variations under the Mandalorian Crusaders owners. By the time the Neo-Crusaders ideals began spreading throughout the Mandalorian forces, the type was mass produced in their war forges, supplying new warriors with a more recognizable model.
