Keldabe Mark One-class Battleship

Keldabe-class Battleship"They wanted a warship? They got one!"

- Victor of Clan Draego

The Keldabe Mark One-class Battleship was a class of warship produced by the Draego Clan of Mandelorians, led by Victor Dreago. The ship would later become a staple of the Dreago Fleet.

Details
The Keldabe, later known as the Keldabe-1, was designed alongside the Crusader-class Corvette, both ships drawing inspiration from the ancient mandalorian warhip class, the Kandosii-class Battleship. The ship was built around a central section with a pair of wings at the end of the ship where the thruster units are placed and a hammer-like forward section, the front of the ship would house a pair of large Mass Driver cannons and would have a significant portion of its weaponry located in this forward "hammer" section, with the remaining weapons placed on the sides of the ship to be used in broadside attacks.

When the Mid-Rim Alliance was formed, the involved factions all donated a chose class to be used and modified by any other member of the Alliance, as such the Keldabe-1 and Keldabe-2 would begin to be produced in both Mandalorian and Feliinyen variants. The Feliinyen versions would see limited use as it was seen as too expensive to service compared to the more mainstay vessels of the Feliinyen Navy for the first few months of the war until the Feliinyen had honed their shipmaking capabilities. After this Mid-Rim Alliance Fleets would often be seen being escorted by both Mandelorian and Feliinyen Keldabes.

Production
The ship would be initially produced by 3rd party shipyards and bought solely by the Draego Clan of Mandalorians to be used as a means of combating the Imperial Ships that would continually dock in Mandalore, eventually driving the Imperials off-world as well as their supporters partly in thanks to the efforts of the Keldabe. Eventually the Draego clan would acquire the resources to begin mass producing the ship and even start making larger ships to support the effort.

Usage
The class would see extensive use as the mainline ship used by the Mandalorians until the introduction of the Keldabe-2, after which it would continue to see use as a mainline ship, but not as often as it would be used in an escort for the larger Keldabe-2 classes.

Obsolescence
The class would continue seeing service due to the popularity of the vessel among mandalorian captains as well as the continual refits and upgrades performed on the ships. However the Feliinyen model would eventually be decommissioned as more Feliinyen ships were produce that would outperform the Keldabe in all the necessary tasks while being significantly cheaper to produce and maintain. The intact spaceframes would be donated to the growing Mothball fleet of the Mid-Rim Alliance, ready to be pressed into service need be.

Behind the scenes
This ship was created using the Lego Digital Designer.

The class was made as a variant model of Keldabe used by a Mandalorian faction in a Star Wars Roleplay. It was built as the smaller warship used by the mandalorians of the game.
