Named for the Mando’a word for “ambush,” ships of the Jehavey’ir-type serve that purpose as well as a capital ship can. Based on&msah;but visually and technologically many generations away from&msah;captured Basilisk technology, these assault ships are known for their ability to make quick hits. Jehavey’ir-type assault ships fly with guns charged and ready to fire, even in hyperspace, so they can engage moments after arriving on the scene of battle.
The 188-meter-long Jehavey’ir-type assault ship’s missile batteries deal a devastating barrage, made all the more terrible during the Mandalorian Wars when fission warheads are occasionally used. Several assault ships so armed join in the destruction of the Stereb cities of Serroco.
Lacking landing bays, ships of this type have special airlocks permitting the easy projection of troops toward a ship to be boarded. Neo-Crusader shock troopers from a Jehavey’ir-type assault ship were among those who took the Courageous.
Tactical Fire: The Jehavey’ir-type assault ship can launch an ambush against unsuspecting foes on a moment’s notice, caching them when their defenses are weakest. As a standard action, a Jehovey’ir-type assault ship can forego all attacks to provide tactical fire to all adjacent squares. All enemy ships within this radius suffer a −1 penalty to Reflex Defense and Fortitude Defense.
