The Kumauri Battleship represented a ground-breaking approach to battleship construction.
This warship incorporated a mass driver which utilized asteroids as ammunition for planetary bombardment.
Around 10,000 BBY, the Kumauri Battleship was engineered by the Kumauri Empire, situated in what was then known as the Outer Rim Territories. This design originated in the outlying territories controlled by the Kumauri, taking its name from the imperial leader, Vall Kumauri. The Cal-class battleship represented the final iteration of this warship lineage. Despite the Galactic Republic's swift triumph over the Kumauri Empire, the Kumauri Battleship design continued to inspire dread until the advent of robust planetary shields. Consequently, numerous space navies, including the Republic Navy, adopted this ship architecture.
