The Dralthi IX is the latest version of the popular Dralthi spaceframe, designed specifically for anti-Nephilim action. While many ships commonly seen in the Epsilon sector are older designs that have had multiple variations exist over time, the Dralthi IX is unique in that it was designed from the outset to have three different models depending on its role. The Striker is a general model Dralthi IX, evolving directly from previous variants. The Shank is designed for close-range combat, using its cloaking device to get in close to a target unnoticed, then using a combination of Neutron guns and Paw DF missiles to quickly destroy its prey. Finally, the Rhino is the heaviest Dralthi ever built, with the weaponry and armor of a heavy fighter while maintaining much of the flying style of classic Dralthi designs.
