The Mandalorian command cruiser was the heaviest battlecruiser of the Mandalorian Empire. This classification acted as the flagship of any Mandalorian major fleet, usually of approximately twenty warships. Each command cruiser was commanded by a Sith, in keeping with the edict that only Mandalorian Sith could command major warships and armadas. Several participated in the Victorious Wars, where the Mandalorian Empire struggled with the Galactic Federation over control of the galaxy.
