The strike force jumped into the Kilrah system and destroyed six carriers under construction, a cruiser production facility, an orbital station, dozens of fighters and a team of the best Kilrathi minds visiting the second moon of [[Kilrah]] during the raid. The ''Kagimasha'' was destroyed by a kamikaze attack and the rest of the fleet fled after a failed nuclear strike on Kilrah. The mission ended with ''Tarawa'' being rescued by the ''[[TCS Concordia]]'' in the [[Baragh|Baragh System]] and withdrawing to Terran controlled space. The ''Intrepid'' was destroyed during the rescue.
Commodore O'Brien was killed in action and command fell to the [[Wing Commander]] of the ''Tarawa'', Lt. Commander [[Jason "Bear" Bondarevsky]].
Only the ''TCS Tarawa'' survived the raid and received the unique distinction of having [["First to Kilrah"]] painted on her side as a result. Her actions at Kilrah achieved a great victory for the [[Terran Confederation]].
