Notes: Retired from frontline service, the Salthi is still used by many reserve units. It is a fast and nimble fighter, but suffers from extremely poor defenses and armament.

Notes: The Sartha is the primary Kilrathi light fighter. It is inferior in almost all aspects to the Confederation's Stiletto, but can pose a threat when attacking in groups.

Notes: First introduced in 2655, the Dralthi Mk. II has, in theory, been replaced with the Drakhri. However, the Dralthi Mk. II was produced in such huge quantities that they still remain in service in many reserve squadrons.

Notes: The Drakhri was introduced in 2659 to replace the short-lived Dralthi Mk. II. It is adequately armed, but rather slow and unmanoeuverable for a medium fighter.

Notes: In 2650, the brand-new Krant Mk. II was far more effective than Confed's Scimitar, with better manoeuverability and armour. But in 2668, even after extensive upgrades, it is nearly obsolete. Most Kilrathi Krant squadrons are being refitted with Hhriss-class fighters.

Notes: Introduced in 2655, a very effective fighter combining the best features of the Gratha, Krant and Jalthi.

Notes: Introduced in 2641, the Jalthi doesn't have a sufficient missile payload to pose a threat to today's well-shielded capital ships. However, it remains a potent convoy-killer. It has a very heavy gun array. Frontal attacks are not recommended.

Notes: The Gratha was brought into service in 2654. An extremely powerful capship killer for that period, the Gratha is responsible for the loss of countless Confed ships. Aside from anti-capship capabilities, it is also effective in dogfights.

Notes: While slow and unwieldy, the Grikath is a highly dangerous torpedo bomber. Thanks to its hull shape, the Grikath's single turret offers good protection against rear and flank attacks. Grikaths have a large payload and must always be considered top priority targets.

Notes: The Jalkehi is the ultimate Kilrathi heavy fighter. Although slow and unmaneuverable, the ship's strong shields, heavy missile loadout, five frontal guns, and rear turret make it a serious threat to both convoys and fighters alike.

Notes: The Gothri has entered service only a few years ago, and it's already one of the top-scoring capital ship killers of the war. The rear turret and the numerous torpedoes make this one of the most threatening Kilrathi ships.

Notes: This is the Empire's latest fighter prototype. It is not known when it will enter service, nor what its capabilities are. It is rumored that this ship can outperform even the Morningstar.
