Legend

this ancient ship was designed and manfuactured by Vall Kumauri, and served as the flagship of his personal fleet. Its design was considered highly-advanced for its age - some 10,000 years before the Battle of Yavin - and was best-known for the huge mass drive weapon slung over its main hull. It was also armed with several tractor beams, which were used to capture asteroids for use as projectile weapons. Once collected, the asteroids were shot out of the mass drive weapon's bore at a target. These natural weapons were capable of leveling entire cities, and made the Kumauri Battleship a terror to confront. Many of its design aspects, including the mass drive weapon, were later incorporated into the Cal-class warship.
