In the days of the days of the Old Republic, most Outer Rim worlds were left to raise their own forces for the law enforcement of space lanes. Due to a weak local economy at the frontier of space, this often meant the area was more susceptible to pirates and smugglers. One of the many products of this time created to tackle this issue was the D5-Mantis Patrol Craft. Designed to be powerful, fast and durable, the Mantis had a reputation as a formidable opponent in a head-on confrontation. That reputation combined with an ability to disable targets with its ion cannon, also made the Mantis popular with bounty hunters of the era. However, the finished product was too expensive for many of the governments they were designed for. The few that were able to purchase the patrol craft soon fell into hard economic times and had to sell off their state-of-the-art ships to stay solvent. These craft were bought up by many of the same pirates that had prompted their development in the first place. With these new weapons at the disposal of pirates, the Outer Rim worlds that had commissioned the development of the Mantis Patrol Craft were forced to watch as their own creation was turned against them, spreading more fear and chaos throughout their space lanes. Nowadays the Mantis is a rarity found primarily in the hands of mercenaries and bounty hunters, or nostalgic individuals wanting to invoke the spirits of legendary hunters who used the craft. Either way, the D5-Mantis is now often considered a symbol of an adventurous age, when the Outer Rim was at it's most rugged and dangerous.
