The Hawk-bat
''Hawk-bat

Description
Roughly shaped like the hawk-bats of Coruscant, this class freighter was originally designed by MandalMotors some time before the Clone Wars. Its original designation was the Basilisk-class, after the ancient war droids, as it was designed to transport valuable cargo or personnel long distances while providing adequate protection. Later, a civilian version without the laser turrets was produced.

R'hask Sei'lar acquired one of the original military models though, which were used occasionally by the Mandalorians during the Clone Wars. To cover the turrets, he placed sensor reflective blisters around each one that folded down when the vessel was in combat and also added a proton torpedo launcher to the nose of the ship that he had salvaged from an ARC-170 starfighter. Additionally, he replaced the starfighter docking ports on either wing with vacuum-sealed cargo pods. The Hawk-bat, as he dubbed it, was further modified by Sarth Kraen, who upgraded the laser cannons, shields, and engines for better performance. Particularly notable was the addition of an integrated droid brain that could control all four turrets when their gunnery stations were not manned by the crew.

The Hawk-Bat has a main ventral cargo hatch, another boarding hatch on the side, and is equipped with two four-man escape pods. Its crew lounge contains a food service/storage unit, and the ship has three cabins for the crew on the starboard side.
