Salthi

Designation: Light fighter
Length: 24.05 m
Mass: 12,000 kg
Max speed: 480 kps
Aft. speed: 1360 kps
Max Y/P/R: 140/120/220 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): 30/20/15/15
Shields (F/B): 35/35
Missile decoys: none
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

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.

Sartha

Designation: Light fighter
Length: 8.31 m
Mass: 12,500 kg
Max speed: 400 kps
Aft. speed: 1270 kps
Max Y/P/R: 80/80/80 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): 40/40/30/30
Shields (F/B): 50/50
Missile decoys: none
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

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.

Dralthi Mk. II

Designation: Medium fighter
Length: 28.13 m
Mass: 14,000 kg
Max speed: 400 kps
Aft. speed: 1200 kps
Max Y/P/R: 100/140/100 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): 75/70/55/55
Shields (F/B): 60/50
Missile decoys: none
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

First introduced in 2655, the Dralthi Mk. II has been replaced by the smaller Drakhri on most frontline vessels. It is still commonly used on space stations and in planetary defense squadrons. Some older carriers also still carry the Dralthi Mk. II.

Drakhri

Designation: Medium fighter
Length: 11.73 m
Mass: 14,000 kg
Max speed: 400 kps
Aft. speed: 1220 kps
Max Y/P/R: 60/60/60 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): 40/40/35/35
Shields (F/B): 55/55
Missile decoys: 3
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

Introduced in 2659, the Drakhri is adequately armed, but rather slow and unwieldy for a medium fighter. In many ways inferior to its predecessor, the Dralthi Mk. II, it is significantly smaller - a huge advantage on cramped Kilrathi cruisers.

Krant

Designation: Medium fighter
Length: 32.01 m
Mass: 16,600 kg
Max speed: 380 kps
Aft. speed: 1200 kps
Max Y/P/R: 70/100/70 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): 100/100/90/90
Shields (F/B): 80/80
Missile decoys: 3
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

In 2650, the Krant was far more effective than Confed's Scimitar, with better maneuverability and armor. Now approaching obsolescence, it is still used extensively, especially on older vessels.

Hhriss

Designation: Heavy fighter
Length: 28.07 m
Mass: 20,000 kg
Max speed: 360 kps
Aft. speed: 1100 kps
Max Y/P/R: 80/80/160 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): 160/170/150/150
Shields (F/B): 150/180
Missile decoys: 5
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

Introduced in 2655, the Hhriss is a very effective fighter combining the best features of the Gratha, Krant and Jalthi. The ship is still a rarity - fortunately, it was never possible to entirely replace those older ships with the superior Hhriss.

Jalthi

Designation: Heavy fighter
Length: 32.00 m
Mass: 22,000 kg
Max speed: 300 kps
Aft. speed: 1000 kps
Max Y/P/R: 50/50/50 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): 200/100/170/170
Shields (F/B): 160/160
Missile decoys: 6
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

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.

Jalkehi

Designation: Heavy fighter
Length: 25.25 m
Mass: 20,000 kg
Max speed: 360 kps
Aft. speed: 1200 kps
Max Y/P/R: 40/40/40 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): 130/130/110/110
Shields (F/B): 150/150
Missile decoys: 4
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

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.

Gratha

Designation: Heavy fighter
Length: 36.10 m
Mass: 18,000 kg
Max speed: 320 kps
Aft. speed: 1050 kps
Max Y/P/R: 60/60/140 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): 150/140/100/100
Shields (F/B): 110/110
Missile decoys: 4
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

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.

Grikath

Designation: Heavy fighter
Length: 17.72 m
Mass: 27,000 kg
Max speed: 330 kps
Aft. speed: 1160 kps
Max Y/P/R: 30/30/30 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): 160/160/140/140
Shields (F/B): 170/170
Missile decoys: 5
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

While slow and unwieldy, the Grikath is a highly dangerous torpedo bomber. The rear turret offers good protection against rear and flank attacks alike. Grikaths have a large payload and must always be considered top priority targets.

Gothri

Designation: Heavy fighter
Length: 27.14 m
Mass: 28,000 kg
Max speed: 400 kps
Aft. speed: 1200 kps
Max Y/P/R: 70/70/70 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): 180/150/150/150
Shields (F/B): 200/200
Missile decoys: 4
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

The Gothri only entered service 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 deadliest Kilrathi bombers.

Vatari

Designation: Heavy fighter
Length: unknown
Mass: unknown
Max speed: unknown
Aft. speed: unknown
Max Y/P/R: unknown
Armor (F/B/L/R): unknown
Shields (F/B): unknown
Missile decoys: unknown
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

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.

Bloodfang

Designation: Heavy fighter
Length: approx. 24 m
Mass: unknown
Max speed: approx. 450 kps
Aft. speed: approx. 1300 kps
Max Y/P/R: approx. 80/80/80 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): approx. 90/90/90/90
Shields (F/B): approx. 100/100
Missile decoys: unknown
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

Encountered only once, (and destroyed) by Colonel Blair in 2667. The ship in question was Prince Thrakhath's own personal fighter. It is not known whether there are any other Bloodfangs in existence. Warning: based on Prince Thrakhath's personality profile, Intel believes that, should the Prince choose to fly the Bloodfang again, he will ensure the new model is exceedingly more powerful than the craft he was previously defeated in.

Dorkathi-class

Designation: Transport
Length: 95.00 m
Mass: 5,000 ton
Max speed: 200 kps
Aft. speed: No afterburner system
Max Y/P/R: 20/20/20 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): 350/350/300/300
Shields (F/B): 95/95
Missile decoys: none
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

The Dorkathi class of transports first appeared on the frontlines in the early 2660s, replacing the older Dorkir and Lumbari classes. Although well-armed, the ship has poor shielding and armor.

Kamekh-class

Designation: Corvette
Length: 135.10 m
Mass: 1,300 ton
Max speed: 200 kps
Aft. speed: No afterburner system
Max Y/P/R: 30/30/30 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): 1000/1000/900/900
Shields (F/B): 490/490
Missile decoys: 6
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

Replacing the old Spikeri-class corvettes in the 2650s, the Kamekh is a highly effective adversary for the Confed Venture, with superior armor and weaponry. When it comes to shields and speed, however, the Venture is the better of the two.

Targu II-class

Designation: Frigate
Length: 445.05 m
Mass: 17,500 ton
Max speed: 250 kps
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

A new class of frigates, the Targu II are fast and carry an impressive array of anti-fighter weaponry. However, they are very lightly armored, and do not have a fighter hangar. Like the original Targu class, these ships are designed to serve a wide range of roles: patrol, escort, bomber interdiction, and fast transport duties.

Ralatha-class

Designation: Destroyer
Length: 394.20 m
Mass: 11,000 ton
Max speed: 250 kps
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

The Ralatha is a well-balanced destroyer, and the most widely used in the Kilrathi fleet. Despite the limited hangar space, this class has been reported to carry most types of Kilrathi fighters, always in small quantities.

Rigakh-class

Designation: Light Cruiser
Length: 422.45 m
Mass: 14,320 ton
Max speed: 280 kps
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

The fastest Kilrathi capship currently used, the Rigakh cruiser is a light but very powerful capship capable of fulfilling a very diverse set of missions. One of these ships, the Hhai'fra, has until recently served as Prince Thrakhath's flagship.

Fralthi-class

Designation: Cruiser
Length: 500.10 m
Mass: 20,000 ton
Max speed: 180 kps
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

The Fralthi is a relatively new and still highly effective design. Fralthi are produced in two basic configurations - light carrier and cruiser. The light carrier version features an enlarged hangar to allow the use of even the largest fighters and support ships.

Fralthra-class

Designation: Cruiser
Length: 612.30 m
Mass: 20,500 ton
Max speed: 150 kps
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

Bigger and heavier than the Fralthi, this new cruiser is a remarkable design. The ship carries 40 fighters, is armed well enough to engage any Confed destroyer or cruiser, and outclasses even the Confederation-class dreadnought in terms of armor.

Snakeir-class

Designation: Fleet Carrier
Length: 650.09 m
Mass: 30,000 ton
Max speed: 150 kps
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

The primary carrier of the Kilrathi, the Snakeir fulfills a role similar to Confed's Concordia-class. It carries slightly heavier armament than its Confed counterpart, but remains vulnerable to capital ships and concentrated fighter attacks.

Hakaga-class

Designation: Heavy Carrier
Length: approx. 1600 m
Mass: unknown
Max speed: unknown
Manufacturer: Kilrathi Empire

Recently sighted deep in Kilrathi space, this new carrier type appears to be almost twice as big as any previously-encountered Kilrathi capital ship. Virtually nothing is known about its capabilities.
