The Hvar'kann-Class Dreadnought was a warship produced by the Kilrathi Empire that saw service during the Terran-Kilrathi War. It was, by far, the largest known capital ship in the Kilrathi fleet.
History
During the later half of the Terran-Kilrathi War, the Kilrathi sought to modernize its fleets in its pursuit for the final destruction of the human race. The Kilrathi expended all of their resources and funds towards the most advanced warships yet fielded by the Empire. Among these vessels was the Hvar'kann-Class Dreadnought, which easily became among the most lethal designs ever to be introduced during the wartime era.
The Hvar'kann, at an astounding 22,000 meters in length, is the largest Kilrathi vessel known to be in existence, dwarfing virtually any ship in service from the Empire or the Terran Confederation. With extensive defensive systems and a starfighter complement of 252, the Hvar'kann is a force to be reckoned with. The vessel filled the role of flagship in a number of fleets and often flew with escorts, but it alone could face most threats.
The Hvar'kann is known to have served during the last decade of the Terran-Kilrathi War. Its class leader, the KIS Hvar'kann, eventually became the personal flagship of Crown Prince Thrakhath nar Kiranka. By 2669, several Hvar'kanns were in service, but relatively little is known of their combat history.
The KIS Hvar'kann took part in numerous military activities during the final year of the War. It was from the Hvar'kann that Crown Prince Thrakhath oversaw Operation: Unseen Death, which saw the biological extermination of the Terran colonies of the Locanda System. The vessel was also present in the aftermath of the Ariel Offensive, when the TCS Victory assaulted a Kilrathi garrison there. The Hvar'kann ferried the Crown Prince to and from Kilrah when the Emperor demanded his presence.
During the final days of the War, the Kilrathi proceeded to assemble a massive armada of warships in Kilrah Orbit to lay siege to Earth in an effort to finally crush humanity. Several Hvar'kanns, among them Thrakhath's flagship were included in this fleet. However, Colonel Christopher Blair deployed the Temblor Bomb on Kilrah before the fleet could commence the assault, and the resulting destruction annihilated the fleet and several Hvar'kanns. The Hvar'kann itself was one of the few survivors.
After the Kilrathi Empire surrendered to the Terran Confederation, the Treaty of Torgo declared that the Kilrathi were to completely disassemble their surviving fleets, a mandate that would have seen the end of the Hvar'kann's production run.
