The Gilgamesh-Class Destroyer was a line of destroyers that served the Terran Confederation during the Terran-Kilrathi War.
The Gilgamesh was a venerable class of warships that saw much action throughout the majority of the Terran-Kilrathi War. It was built with the same purpose as most other destroyers; as fast, heavily-armored warships suited for fleet carrier escort and offensive operations against Kilrathi warships. Gilgamesh-Class Destroyers were designed to hold their own ground on the battlefield, and have proven their effectiveness against the Kilrathi invaders.
The Gilgamesh would eventually take over the role filled by the Exeter-Class Destroyers as the latter grew into obsolescence. The Gilgamesh saw much action during the Enigma Sector Campaign, which unfortunately saw the loss of several such warships against the Kilrathi. Among the Gilgamesh-Class Destroyers lost in battle were the TCS Beowulf and the TCS William Tell, both of which were lost escorting the TCS Concordia.
The Gilgamesh would be replaced by far more modern destroyer designs soon after the conclusion of the Terran-Kilrathi War in 2669.
