Description
I’ve always liked the Kom’rk Class Gauntlet Fighter. It’s a neat, aggressive looking ship with cool moving wings; and it’s Mandalorian, . . . so what’s not to love? The term “Kom’rk” is Mandalorian for “Gauntlet,” so this ship is commonly referred to as the “Gauntlet Fighter” as well.

The Kom’rk Class spacecraft is usually described as a “fighter,” but in truth, it seems to be more of a transport/assault ship, designed to deliver troops into combat zones, its role being similar to that of a U-Wing or a Larty.
One interesting feature of the Gauntlet Class was the ability to deploy a troop rack from the belly of the ship. The rack could hold up to 24 fully armed Mandalorian warriors. Troops would begin seated in the troop bay. When the rack was lowered through doors in the belly of the ship, these troops could quickly leap off the rack and (using their jet packs) fly directly into combat. How cool is that?! . . . and also VERY Mandalorian!

The Gauntlet Fighter has appeared in multiple episodes of both "Star Wars - The Clone Wars" and "Star Wars - Rebels," and seems to be a very capable ship.

Incidentally, the cockpit area seems to have been designed to be reminiscent of the T-Visor featured in many Mandalorian helmets.

The Gauntlet most commonly appears in this off-white and blue-gray paint scheme. In past episodes of Clone Wars and Rebels, Mandalorian Fang Fighters, shuttles, and even speeder bikes have also appeared bearing this same exact color scheme. Interestingly, this color scheme has appeared on vessels belonging to various disparate Mandalorian factions, families, and clans, including Death Watch, Mandalorian Protectors, and Duchess Satine's pacifists (groups that seem to have little in common apart from their association with Mandalore.) Based on this, I wonder if these are the "official" (or at least "unofficial") colors of Mandalorian craft.
