The Cabur-class starfighter was a type of starfighter designed and built by MandalMotors, a well-known vehicle manufacturer that had its base of operations on the planet of Mandalore. This starship was a wedge-shaped craft with two engines, and it required two pilots to fly.
The Cabur-class began production after the death of the Suprema, who was the last Imperial advisor to Mandalore, an event that occurred in 3 ABY. During the invasion of the galaxy by the extragalactic Nagai species in 4 ABY, Fenn Shysa, the Mandalorian leader holding the title of Mandalore, commanded the Resurrector Squadron, a group of twelve Cabur-class fighters manned by the Mandalorian Protectors, in support of the Alliance of Free Planets. This support was to help the newly formed government as they battled the Nagai Fleet in the Endor system.
The interior of the Cabur-class starfighter was initially visualized in the one-hundredth issue of Marvel Comics' Star Wars series of comic books, which was written by Jo Duffy, with illustrations by Cynthia Martin, and it was released on October 1, 1985. Its name was established in the 2009 Hyperspace article The Forgotten War: The Nagai and the Tofs by James McFadden. Although McFadden did not definitively identify a specific starship from the comic as the Cabur-class, he proposed that it could be one of several unidentified ships featured in the issue.
As per a dictionary of the Mandalorian language Mando'a created by Karen Traviss for Lucasfilm, the term "Cabur" can be interpreted as meaning "protector" or "guardian."
