“The D5-Mantis Patrol Craft was a rare, top-of-the-line starship during the Cold War. It was meant to meet the demands of larger capital ships. Built for combat, the rare, compact-framed D5-Mantis was a best-in-class patrol craft, designed to compete with—and meet the demands of—much largerstarships, such as Interdictor-class cruisers.
The vessel utilized three retractable armament foils with independent power supplies, allowing it to safely use weapons meant for larger vessels. The foils also significantly reduced the ship’s profile, allowing it to land or dock in more confining spaces than other ships would be able to use. A surprising number of D5-Mantis patrol craft could, therefore, be tightly packed into carrier ships presenting a nasty surprise to enemy vessels.
The D5-Mantis engineers also made extensive use of a vertically economical interior design to condense and fully utilize space. The vessel’s small bulkheads accommodated large, open areas and improved the ease of maintenance. ” – Source: Wookieepedia: The Star Wars Wiki http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/D5-Mantis_Patrol_Craft
Looks badass…..
A warning though, as of the launch of GSH, the ships available as
decorations are not “Your Ship.” The ships are scale models that are
33-50% scale models of your ship. Also, only the Tattooine and Nar
Shaddaa Strongholds have ship hooks. The Dromund Kaas and Coruscant
Strongholds do not.
The name of this is wrong, the correct name is “D5-Mantis Patrol Craft” NOT ”
D-5 Mantis Patrol Craft”
i wish all of the strongholds had hooks for the starships and not just nar shaddaa and tatooine!
