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: Light Carrier
Manufacturer: Ki'ra Clan
The Dubav-class is specifically designed to operate behind enemy lines for prolonged periods of time. This fast, sleek, self-sufficient escort carrier is equipped with a half wing of fighters and bombers to attack Terran convoys and a loadout of Marine shuttles and bombardment missiles to mount terror raids against Confederation homeworlds and colonies. Notoriously elusive, Dubav-class carriers form the core of many Kilrathi Recon-in-Force fleets, and are normally encountered away from the main front.
Class: Heavy Cruiser
Manufacturer: Ja'targk Clan
This heavy cruiser is one of the most powerful capital ships in the Kilrathi war chest. Surprisingly fast and maneuverable for its size, the Fralthi II-class is armed to the proverbial teeth with more heavy-hitting weaponry and stronger armor than any frontline Kilrathi warship short of a battleship or dreadnought. Mostly assigned to large battle groups in support of a heavy carrier, no starbase, colony, or warship is safe when this starship is on an attack approach. In addition, its respectable fighter compliment can be used almost as effectively as a light carrier.
Class: Super Carrier
Manufacturer: Caxki Clan
The backbone of the Kilrathi Navy, these highly advanced supercarriers carry a full complement of fighters, bombers, and support craft. Any major attack, fleet action, or campaign will most likely be centered around a Bhantkara-class carrier. Even though it only has mediocre armament, they are heavily armored and are almost always seen in large battlegroups with six to eight supporting cruisers and destroyers. In addition, Kilrathi fleet carriers outnumber their Terran counterparts by a wide margin.
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.
