The Predator-class Battleship is a 1,000-meter-long Cruiser constructed to serve as an substantial upgrade to the original Mandalorian Keldabe-class design. Though it is the same size and exterior design as its predecessor, it contained numerous armament upgrades with re-designed hangar bays to allow for more efficient starfighter storage and deployment. A large portion of its cargo storage areas have also been retrofitted with the walls removed to provide additional fighter bays and ceiling rails to guide the starfighters to the launch bays proper though this has eliminated nearly all of the cargo storage capabilities. It has also had a cloaking system installed that allows for complete invisibility from sensors and visual detection, however it operates as a double-blind system that also prevents the vessel from detecting anything outside of the cloak. Because of that, it requires a skilled force user to be its eyes at all times when it is engaged. Atop the main superstructure is a tower similar in design to the Galactic Empire’s star destroyers. Hyperdrive capable, this vessel has average maneuverability and speed, with medium armor and shielding.
