The Ralaxath-Class Heavy Destroyer was introduced in 2669 with the intent of adding additional firepower to the already formidable [[Kilrathi]] fleets. The Ralaxath was a heavily-armed, heavily-armored vessel that could hold its own against enemy capital ships and patrols. Its main purpose was to patrol and defend star systems of strategic importance to the Kilrathi, such as [[Freya]] and [[Kilrah (star system)|Kilrah]]. Unlike the [[Ralarrad-Class Light Destroyer]], Ralaxaths did not carry a starfighter complement, and therefore flew with escorts when the need for self-defense arose. Nevertheless, the Ralaxath was a formidable warship and a force to be reckoned with by any Terran capital ship.

The Ralaxath was one of the newest classes of capital ship fielded by the Kilrathi Empire, having been introduced in 2669, the year of Kilrah's destruction. Due to its late entry into frontline service, the [[Terran Confederation]] was dumbstruck to have encountered these hulking war machines while preparing for the [[Temblor Bomb]] strike against Kilrah. They were first encountered by Colonel [[Christopher Blair]] and his wing during the liberation of Freya, who destroyed a number of them as part of operations to shake the Kilrathi's hold on the star system. The Colonel and his squadron later embarked on the [[Lancelot Flight]], which would see the Temblor Bomb dropped on Kilrah. During their descent to the surface, the squadron encountered several Ralaxaths patrolling the Kilrah System, but they failed to stop the Colonel's assault and they were all destroyed. Any remaining Ralaxaths were likely destroyed when Colonel Blair destroyed Kilrah.

Type Heavy Destroyer
Manufacturer Kilrathi


The Ralaxath-Class Heavy Destroyer that served with the Kilrathi Empire during the latter stages of the Terran-Kilrathi War.

Class Overview

Ralaxath-Class Heavy Destroyer Target Designation, circa 2669.

The Ralaxath is a heavier warship in comparison to its cousin, the Ralarrad-Class Light Destroyer. It possesses a heavier armament and is therefore a dangerous threat to any Terran warship that approaches it. However, unlike the Ralarrad, it does not carry a starfighter complement and therefore flies with escorts.

History

The Ralaxath entered service during the later stages of the Terran-Kilrathi War. Colonel Christopher Blair first encountered a Ralaxath in the Freya System in 2669 during the Terran Confederation's offensive in the system.

When Colonel Blair and his wing departed for Kilrah with the intent of destroying the Kilrathi homeworld with the Temblor Bomb, he and his wingmen encountered several Ralaxaths while en route to the planet.
