Following the well-worn policy of taking Caldari ship designs and radically overhauling them, the Mamba is clearly based on the distinctive hull of the Corax-class destroyer. Guristas leader Korako 'The Rabbit' Kosakami has taken the basic concept of the State's missile destroyer and grafted the signature Guristas drone technology to it. The result is a ship that can fire a blizzard of missiles followed up by small but powerful waves of combat drones.
