Class: Transport
Manufacturer: Sihkag Clan
With its cheap and modular design, the Sha’kar-class is the mainstay of the Kilrathi logistics fleet. Of medium tonnage, it can be configured to carry anything important to the Kilrathi war machine, including armaments, fuel, general supplies and personnel. Slow, under-armed, under-armored and susceptible to attack by even the lightest Terran fighter, these cannon fodder transports rely on fighters or other capships for protection.
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.
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 Destroyer
Manufacturer: Ragitagha Clan
One of the most prevalent Kilrathi warships found on the front lines, this destroyer escort is a manueverable multi-purpose vessel that is equally competent in picket duties, fleet escort, and strike missions. Carrying a token fighter complement, the Ralarrad wields the energy weapons to effectively engage in anti-aircraft duties as well as the missile strike capability to pose a serious threat to larger Terran capital ships.
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.
