Introduced in early 2667, the Gothri has distinguished itself as an exceptional heavy fighter and bomber. Upon reaching the front lines, the heavy fighter quickly began to gain favor over the aging Jalkehi, a venerable heavy fighter which was first sighted in the early 2650's. Though generally displaced recently on the front lines by the Vaktoth and the Paktahn in the heavy fighter and bomber role, respectively, the Gothri is still a dangerous and versatile adversary.

The Gothri has also excelled in recent years as a raider in commercially heavy 'safe' sectors such as Gemini. The heavy fighter has enjoyed relative free reign over the thinly stretched militia and Confed presence in these sectors and has become a scourge to any privateer doing business near Kilrathi space.
