History
One notable Ralarrad was the vessel that attacked Locanda IV during Operation Unseen Death, the Kilrathi operation to eradicate the Locanda System. This ship fired five biological warheads at the planet while Confed pilots tried to stop them, causing a virus to spread across the whole system and render it infectious.
Dozens of these vessels made up the Kilrathi Grand Armada that was assigned to destroy Earth in mid-2669. Fortunately, Colonel Christopher Blair delivered the Temblor Bomb to Kilrah two days before the attack, destroying the planet and sending these fearsome ships careening into space where they were all destroyed.
