Gauntlet Starfighter

Profile

The Gauntlet Starfighter is a heavy Mandalorian combat craft used by warriors of Mandalore as both attack platform and troop transport. Its rugged construction and impressive armament make the Gauntlet one of the most feared instruments of war in the hands of experienced Mandalorian fighters.

Technical Specifications

The Kom’rk-class transport / fighter is roughly mid-way between a starfighter and a small gunship:

• Two pivoting wings that fold for atmospheric and stealth modes.
• Twin laser cannons and concussion missiles.
• Capacity for up to twelve Mandalorian troopers plus a small cargo bay.
• Hyperdrive Class 2 and a reinforced beskar-style hull plating.

Famous Operators

• Pre Vizsla — Used the Gauntlet to launch Death Watch operations during the Clone Wars.
• Bo-Katan Kryze — Her own Gauntlet became a symbol of the Nite Owls’ resistance.
• Sabine Wren — Flew Gauntlets during multiple Mandalorian liberation missions.

Cultural Impact

The Gauntlet Starfighter has become one of the visual hallmarks of Mandalorian culture. Its bat-wing silhouette appears in Clone Wars, Rebels, The Mandalorian and Ahsoka, and signals that whenever Mandalorians take the field as a coordinated force, the Gauntlets cannot be far behind.
