More info on the ship to be found here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kom%27rk-class_fighter
Since Star Wars Rebels has been a good source of new ships, could this find it's way into X-Wing ? As a 'small' Scum Epic ship for example ...
It's larger than the VCX, but only a bit smaller than the Gozanti .
It can't be the Kom'rk class. If you watch the scene, you get to see the size comparison of the A-wing as it flies by overhead. There is no way that ship there is larger than the VCX. Therefore it has to be some other kind of Mandalorian fighter.
Edit: It looks very much like a Fang class fighter to me.

Although it does have the same wing shape I don't think that it can be the same craft based on the two images as the bridge on the Gauntlet is further aft.
That being said I don't think that FFG would put an Epic ship on the board that was nearly as wide as it was long.
It's confirmed - Maul is arriving sometime in X-Wing's future.

Keep in mind that Rebels A-wings are larger than some shots from ROTJ would imply.
There were also multiple versions of the Kom'rk - one 52.3m, one 68.1m. This looks like the 52.3m one:

That could possibly be put down to differing artistic interpretations of the same ship.
Makes sense to me that Maul would claim the previous Mandalore's personal ship for his own.
It is certainly the Kom'rk. Later in the episode, Kanan is ejected through space and you can see all the size of the ship. Also, you can see Maul inside the bridge piloting it. That's no Fang fighter, that's a very large ship.
A giant version of a fang fighter would look pretty dumb....
It is the larger version, as seen in mauls clone wars arc when he recruited deathwatch with his brother.
That said both tv shows scale it in large base class at best, not epic.

Funny as the Fang fighters is a smaller version of the Kom'rk class ship from the Clone Wars show.
Edited by DwingIt was also in the Maul comic series based on clone wars season six scripts.
I think between this, the Aka'Jor shuttle and the Fang, you could make a neat little Mandalorian subfaction of S&V.
It's one of my guesses for the possibel Scum Epic for that reason.

Well seeing as the M3-a is also Mandalorean it wouldn't be hard.
yeah, Kom'rk/Scyk would be an interesting Epic set.
My first reaction was, "Yaaaaay.... another ship that looks like a Syck or Fang Fighter..." then I was like "A Fang Fighter that is bigger than the Ghost!!"
That would be cool.

Scum does need a 4-attack ship just like Imperials and Rebels have....

It's only very slightly bigger than the Ghost - like under 10% longer (canonically).
And, of course, much less volume - its quite 'flat'.
It'd be a 'large' base ship, if anything. Definitely not Epic. And hopefully FFG could add enough greebles to the design so that it doesn't look like just a re-scaled Fang fighter, because that would be totally lame...
I think/hope this might be a possible new scum ship and there are some nice candidates for the pilots in the new canon. Maul has now used it on the telescreen, It appear in one of the digital rebel comic strips where it is flown by a by pirate racing freak and it was used in "the perfect weapon"- a tie-in novelle to the force awakens by the female spy in Maz's cantina. And I like it!

No - the one in Season 5: Eminence is smaller than the one in Season 2:

"The Mandalorian Gauntlet ships in this episode are smaller versions of the larger ones seen in previous seasons."

So the Maul's unique ship is named Nightbrother...
It's a unique color - but I think there were several ships in Eminence with the same shape and size. Might have a few upgrades due to Vizsla and Maul not just being ordinary Death Watch, but leaders in the organization.
Yeah...that's, like, 25% bigger than the Ghost. I can't see that fitting on a Large base.
It'd probably have to have the wings locked in the vertical position, find the exact point of balance, and have the peg enter the lower wing.
It would project a bit forward, but because of the wings, the prow would be high above the other ships - so less of a bumping problem.
Edited by IronlordUpon seeing the rotating wings, I suddenly remember that one or more of these ships appeared in the comic miniseries Darth Maul Son of Dathomir. It was the last thing published by Dark Horse before Marvel got the license, and at the time it was heralded as the first "new canon" comic.
