The Kotir-class Cruiser-Carrier was the Mandalorian response to the Empire's Imperial-class Star Destroyer Mark II. When the Protectors participated in the Battle of Chil'a'Chin, they reaped the benefits of the spoils of war. One of these spoils was a cripped Star Destroyer, which the Mandalorians gladly claimed. After returning the craft to Mandalore, Karric Nayms, CEO of MandalMotors, immediately put together a crack team of research specialists to reverse-engineer the craft and come up with their own variation of the popular Star Destroyer design.
