The M12-L Kimogila heavy fighter represented the most substantial snubfighter design within the MandalMotors product range. Employed by Hutt criminal syndicates for the defense of their illicit holdings, the M12 typically had mercenary pilots at its controls.
This bespoke Hutt starfighter boasted an extended operational range and versatility across diverse space combat scenarios. Its designation as a heavy fighter stemmed from its ample weaponry, while its torpedo deployment capabilities enabled its use as a bomber when needed. This adaptability contributed to its widespread appeal among independent mercenaries. Despite lacking the agility and velocity of earlier models, its potential for inflicting significant damage often compensated for these shortcomings.
Marketed as an enhanced version of the G1-M4-C Dunelizard fighter, the Kimogila fighter demonstrated a more resilient and weighty construction. MandalMotors engineered it with the explicit intention of selling it to corporate entities, criminal fleets, and various private groups.
During the Mandalorian-Ithullan war, this fighter saw action with the Aka'liit in their pursuit of Ithullan clandestine locations.
