Pursuer-class enforcement ship

The Pursuer-class enforcement ship was a heavy patrol craft designed by MandalMotors for use by the Mandalorians. During the War of the Ring this type of starship was employed in policing Separatist-controlled worlds.
==Characteristics==
The craft was well armed for its size, with twin blaster cannons and a turret-mounted ion cannon, giving the ship formidable firepower. Military grade shield generators protected the Pursuer from harm.
==History==
The ships became popular with Spar and his Mandalorian Protectors during the War of the Ring, before being made available to police forces across the galaxy when Imperial advisors were placed on the MandalMotors executive board after the rise of the Galactic Empire.
One of the most infamous Pursuers was the Viraxo-owned vessel Enkidu, which harassed the Earth Team in several unprovoked raids against Twin Suns Transport Services until it was destroyed by the Earth Team, ending the heated feud.
==Behind the scenes==
The Pursuer was created from the INT-4 Interceptor via the method of "Chinese Whispers": The craft as described in The Musketeers: Dark Empire is a description of the INT-4 (which was one of the few non-movie craft available at the time). This description was then used to design the Pursuer by an artist unaware of the INT-4 toy.
