Len was the lead designer of Mandal Hypernautic's Crusader-class corvette. The company offered the corvette to the Galactic Empire, but the Imperials only purchased two of them and declined to order any more. Len was left distraught by the loss of the contract, so he mothballed the Crusader design and left Mandal Hypernautics, despite the encouragement given to him by his colleagues to persevere with the design.
