Darkest Dawn Characters

Due to a recent Kilrathi attack, the required security encryption policies needed to access detailed personnel bios have been temporary suspended for higher priority projects. Once we're able to fully compile this information, BuPers will send a courier to your location with the necessary reports

The Darkest Dawn campaign will continue the adventures of Sandman and the characters from the Prologue. Now reassigned to the front lines, they are all battlefield replacements onboard an operational Confederation carrier which has been in the most brutal fighting of recent months. Depending on which squadron the main character is assigned to, there will be a new set of wingmen with their own skills, precision, and opinions. While they are required to fly with Sandman, they are not required to like him.

Kilrathi Capital Ships

It is no argument that Kilrathi starships have a different philosophy then the Terrans. While Terran warships are basically mobile fire support platforms from afar, Kilrathi warships are just another means for a frontal attack. For the thrill of the hunt, Kilrathi will not think twice about sending their starships to fight in the thick of the fray. Their naval design even encourages ramming other capital ships if necessary.

Compared to Terran starships, Kilrathi starships have crude damage control systems and lighter armor and shielding; however, they emphasize on firepower and maneuverability. To emphasize their role as active offensive platforms, the majority of the weapons and armor are normally focused forward and the sides, with less protection to the rear. Kilrathi starships cannot survive on a 1-on-1 engagement with their Terran counterparts, but there are many more of them in service.

Kilrathi Fighters

Since the dawn of warfare, it has been self-evident that the more you know about your enemy, the better equipped you are to prevail against him.

Although the Kilrathi discovered the basic principles of aerodynamics comparatively late in their history, their fierce aggressiveness has driven them to devote a disproportionate amount of resources to drawing even with Terran technology. With the advent of stealth technology, this gap grows smaller.

Each Kilrathi military aircraft has specific strengths that pilots need to guard against. Likewise, each has weaknesses that can be exploited during battle. Your efforts of understanding both could mean the difference between victory and defeat every time you’re sent into battle.
