A staple light fighter of the Kilrathi Empire during the Terran-Kilrathi War, the Sartha carried heavy close-range armament in the form of twin neutron guns, but only average maneuverability and protection. It was particularly well-suited to Kilrathi swarm tactics.

The Kilrathi Sartha is a light fighter comparable to the Confederation’s Epee. The Kilrathi fighter is slower and not as maneuverable as the Ferret or the Epee. Shields and armor are extremely weak. At close ranges, the Sartha can inflict damage with its neutron guns and one dumb fire missile, but these ships only pose a real threat if they surround your fighter in large numbers. During my service in the Gwynedd system, I lost a wingman to a swarm of Sartha pilots.
