Class Overview
The Fralthi was at a time one of the most commonly-seen heavy warships in the Terran-Kilrathi War. These cruisers served as system patrol ships, capital ship interceptors, escorts, and even light carriers due to its fairly large starfighter complement. It was a heavily-armed warship that could travel without escorts when necessary. They often filled the role of carrier during the Vega Sector Campaign, but that role would later pass on to the newer Snakeir-Class Carriers.
History
The Fralthi line has been in service since 2504, when it served multiple sides in a series of clan wars that were brewing within the Kilrathi Empire. However, they have seen several revisions and modifications since their initial inception. By the time of the Terran-Kilrathi War, 2,000 Fralthis were active. In 2654, the current form of the Fralthi was introduced, and they began their service as light carriers.
The first time the Terran Confederation encountered the modern-day Fralthi was during a raid in the McLaren System. Pilots from the TCS Tiger's Claw destroyed a Fralthi in Port Hedland in a later engagement, the first confirmed Fralthi kill in Terran history. These cruisers would see service throughout the whole of the Vega Sector Campaign in the 2650s, in which several were ultimately destroyed. Several Fralthis also comprised the task force that destroyed Goddard in 2654.
During the Siege of Firekka, the KIS Ras Nik'hra, commanded by Khantahr Ralgha nar Hhallas, defected to the Terran Confederation. It was the first Fralthi to be captured by the Terrans. A second Fralthi, the KIS Kraj'nishk, was destroyed in a failed attempt to destroy the Ras Nik'hra.
At some point after 2656, the Fralthi II-Class Cruiser entered service with the Kilrathi Empire, ending the dominance of the original Fralthi.
