Background: The Kom’rk-class fighter/transport, also known as Kom’rk Class fighter transport or the Gauntlet starfighter, was a type of starfighter and troop transport used by the Mandalorian splinter faction known as Death Watch during the Clone Wars. The fighters were utilized as part of a move by Death Watch leader Pre Vizsla to end Satine Kryze’s pacifist rule of Mandalore and restore the Mandalorians to their former warrior past. These ships were later used by Maul’s Shadow Collective army during battles on Zanbar, Ord Mantell, and Vizsla Keep 09. During each of these battles, Maul utilized a gauntlet fighter called the Nightbrother, colored red and black rather than the normal white and blue color scheme, as a transport and a Shadow Collective flagship. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, a gauntlet fighter known as the Splendour was owned by the Besalisk criminal Galus Vez, who used it to race opponents on his private racing track, the Fool’s Run.
The Mandalorian Protectors used a similar fighter known as the Fang fighter. During the time of the New Republic, Bo-Katan Kryze utilized a Kom’rk-class fighter in several occasions, including a Dogfight over Kalevala. Thirty years after the Battle of Endor, the retired pirate Delphi Kloda owned a Gauntlet called the Sparrowhawk, which he lent to his former protege Bazine Netal.
