Ah Jeez. I'm used to criticism, and okay with it, but I'm not gonna lie seeing all this did make me sink a little. Very... thorough.
No matter, I'm very good at edition and explanation.
Well then let's begin!

Noted. She just felt a little wrong without her typical starfighter. I kind of use a similar model for most of my star wars rp's, but I see I'm going to have to be a little more thorough here. I am after all, a major Star Wars geek. And I definitely know quite a bit more about the previously canon and in movie universe than most. I have no problem with exercising that. Should be fun to actually have someone to counter me from time to time with unbasic knowledge... That said...
Multi-Directional propulsion CAN be in a line orientation, and absolutely could be aesthetic depending on who was building or modifying the ship. Clearly this nubian craft was taken apart piece by piece and then The hull would have been cut into. Since multidirectional propulsion is, as you say, repulsor coil based one could easily spend the time and credits to have those coils place in a line configuration, and the proximity of one side of the repeating pattern would allow the coils integrity as an energy channel to hold. Then a single panel with microperforations could be placed over it, which I know would impede the work of the multidirectional propulsion, but then, so would stabbing a damn droid through a socket in the craft. I admit this isnt a canon idea, but it takes canon knowledge and makes logical assumptions with it based on science.
Also, as much as I have little to no love for the new trilogy for various reasons, I chose a nubian starfighter because it is the only craft type to pull off a sleek, graceful look. Much of the fighters qualities are sacrificed for aesthetic, including the fact that it is clearly designed for better in atmosphere flight than out of atmosphere flight. My alterations to this craft fixes that without destroying the sleek look I like. As for the color changing, I don't have an explanation, since I cant honestly think of any way for the microperforated panel to filter light, so it's just blue. There. I've explained the craft, not because it's gonna be in there, I'm ditching the idea entirely, but because I am proving the point that I am at least knowledgable to a degree. Next.

When was this? Why? How?
I was saving that for character development in case it mattered, but since you insist...
She was forced to decide between the protection of her clan, and the protection of her families honor. Short story long her father was going to give over someone in their clan with the knowledge of Beskar (Not going to explain this since you clearly will get the significance) to the empire, and she destroyed the escort and Forced her father and brother into a pod at sword-point. The Shabuir Di'Kut had been in their under-armor instead of fully suited, which would have given them a great advantage as the beskar in their armor would have made her attacks effectively useless with a plasma weapon. But' her luck withstanding, she caught the m off guard and managed to get them both into a pod without violence. She took over flight of their ship, but not knowing very well how to fly the custom craft and being more used to a starfighter than a small freighter she was unprepared when the nearby imperial garrison sent twenty fighters to force her into returning to their SD and being arrested. Before they docked however, the armorsmith aboard took his own life with her fathers bes'bev, so that he might not be tortured into revealing the secrets of Mand'Alore and its precious metal. And she nearly took her own life, now having no family and no home to go back to without certain death, but wasn't strong enough (or weak enough depending on how you look at it) and was instead captured and brought before the man who was at the time just Admiral Tarkin. Tarkin was attempting to discover the secrets of Beskar for the empire in order to test it out in his upcoming raid with Darth Vader on Kashyyk. The very ruthless action that made him into a Grand Moff. (Hopefully that gives you some idea of timeline. It would be about 13 years before your story. Which, incidentally would have made her 15 at the time.)

As for Tarkin, in none of the stories I've used this character for has he every dealt with her directly. He only suggested that her talents not be wasted, so they weren't. I have no problem with this revelation as it is no revelation at all.

I understand your misgivings with this, and am fine with removing it. It was something written into her storyline by a previous GM. And I don't know if you know this, but the "commander" title is unofficial anyways. The term commander in the imperial navy was actually always titular as it did not refer to an actual rank, but simply whoever was on board a specific ship to take the position of authority. There were specific commanders, but I used the broad and titular term "Commander" on Purpose. It would effectively never put her in charge of a ship per say, but it would grant her certain privileges.
Like I said, I'm fine with writing it out of her storyline.

Death Watch Family ≠ normal Mandalorian life.
*Ahem* This time you are at fault my friend. I said "traditional" not "normal."
The Mandalorians were traditionally a warlike people who are associated with the death watch, which once was the major political force of Mandalore. Someone striving to be in the Death Watch, is very traditional. But I understand you were up in a rave about this asshole who came on with not only a ship from the first movie and a sword from the damn cartoon and talking about technology that didn't quite make sense, so I get why you wouldn't think me capable of this context.
But you should know by now that I am no nine year old dipshit with knowledge limited to the movies and a horrible show that butchered the meaning of the force and made Jar-Jar that much more retarded. I know Star-Wars. I know it like the back of my hand. I've read and memorized most of the essential guides. the old ones.
This is my world as much as it is yours.
Now, finally...

What? Where did this come from?I
In reference to The bastard daughter thing. More backstory I was gonna reveal later but since you are clearly beyong the typiical level of knowledge I understand the need to explain myself now... Her father was unhappy with his marriage to a Twi'Lek woman who hadn't told him before they were married that she could not produce children. As a result she offered him a deal so she could save their marriage. He could sire three sons, and no more, with a or many human women. This deal made sense and was a good offer, but her father slipped up and sired her brother and her at nearly the same time. Her brother was born first, and when his daughter was born and the mother died and left the child to his care, he realized that he had failed his wife. Although she didn't actually blame him for it, his misery and lack of understanding eventually drove her away, and he always blamed it on Null. He wouldn't ever touch his daughter, much less train her, and her brothers grew up far better fighters than she. Obviously theres more to this than just the practical stuff, but I've written alot and don't feel like getting to in depth to her emotions on an explanation to a CS that is already far too long.
Thank you for your time and understand that I am more interested knowing the level of knowledge I must be among. I have put a ton of work into this now and hope you will take that into account despite the minor discrepencies I have taken with a grain of salt among my many uses of this character.
Again, thank you for your time and criticism.
