| | |
| The '''Dorkir''' was a [[Kilrathi]] transport. It was included in [[Joan's Fighting Spacecraft]] [[Vega Sector Supplement]] for [[2654.092]].
| |
| | |
| Like its [[Terran]] counterpart, the [[Drayman]]-class, the Dorkir is a jack-of-all-trades which uses multiple configurations. Among those encountered to date:
| |
| | |
| Freighter/Tanker: The two most common layouts for any class of transport.
| |
| Command Staff: Equipped with an additional communications and sensor suite, this version of the transport is used by high ranking officers to coordinate system-wide military efforts. The invasion of the Kurosawa System was bolstered by an early strike against a Dorkir-class command staff ship, the loss of which sent Kilrathi resistence into disarray. The design has also been spun off into the dedicated Thrakhra-class CommCon.
| |
| | |
| Troop Transport: A single Dorkir may be outfitted to carry a unit of one thousand warriors - ten times the number of Terran marines carrierd onboard a similarly sized transport.
| |
| | |
| Though a vital part of any war effort, tactical treatment of the Dorkir is evidence their cultural disdain for support staff. Two examples: In an attempt to relieve the garrison at the Brimstone System during the human blockade, the Empire deployed dozens of lightly escorted Dorkir at once - hoping that a few might make it through to the planet. During anti-piracy efforts in the M421A System, Thrakhath's forces sacrificed an entire Dorkir as bait to lure out the enemy.
| |
| | |
| The [[Terran Confederation Space Forces Academy]] maintains a captured Dorkir on which students train for ship to ship boarding scenarios.
| |
| | |
| It was utilized alongside the [[Lumbari]] variant.
