Class: Heavy Destroyer
Manufacturer: Kiranka Clan

The Kilrathi’s newest and most advanced destroyer, the Ralaxath-class closes the gap created by technologically superior Terran capships. This destroyer leader combines superior maneuverability and acceleration with enhanced firepower and armor. Initial reports show these ships serving as individual flagships for destroyer squadrons and smaller flotillas to totally replacing Ralarrad-class vessels in the traditional fleet escort role. A serious threat to capships and fighters alike, Confed pilots are warned to approach this warship with all due caution.

Class: Corvette
Manufacturer: Caxki Clan

The Kilrathi’s obsession with hit-and-run strikes and wolfpack tactics is manifested in their latest model corvette. Its combination of offensive anti-shipping missiles and high speed enable these corvettes to attack Confederation convoys before adequate time to muster a counterattack. Even though it is lightly armored, the Kamrani's multiple turrets is a danger to attacking Terran fighters.

Class: Light Cruiser
Manufacturer: Sihkag Clan

The Kilrathi developed this light cruiser to counter the Terran’s superiority in fighter technology. Bristling with hordes of anti-fighter guns, these cruiser escorts are normally found in defense of larger Kilrathi assets but are more then capable to serving as a raider or flagship for smaller fleet units. A Terran pilot’s worst nightmare, a single Fra’lath-class cruiser can literally lay waste to entire formations of fighters and bombers.

Class: Dreadnought
Manufacturer: Kiranka Clan

This massive and intimidating dreadnought is the largest and deadliest warship in the Kilrathi fleet. Its array of heavy beam cannons and missile batteries can lay waste to entire enemy fleets, and its fighter complement is equal in number to that of several Terran heavy carriers. In addition, its super heavy shielding and armor makes this battlewagon virtually invulnerable to any attack. It is no surprise that dreadnoughts are used as flagships for Kilrathi sector fleet admirals as well as Prince Thrakhath himself.

Class: Assault Troopship
Manufacturer: Sihkag Clan

The Dukara is a troop carrier that can carry a legion of Kilrathi Marines and their equipment, logistics, and battle vehicles. It is also atmospheric capable, with the ability to deploy assault shuttles and dropships from its landing bay. Lightly armed and vulnerable to fighter attack, it still requires a destroyer or fighter escort. HQ has deemed trooper transports a high priority target; each one destroyed is one thousand less Kilrathi Marines for our own Marines to face in combat.
