The Kilrathi Ralarrad-class Light/Escort Destroyer was a light destroyer in the service of the Kilrathi Empire.
Class Overview
Ralarrad-Class Light Destroyers were an essential part of Kilrathi task forces. They were also used in a variety of other roles that ranged from convoy escort to capship interdiction. Although not as strong as the Kilrathi Ralaxath-Class Heavy Destroyer, Ralarrad-Class Light Destroyers were potent capships in their own right.
The Kilrathi light destroyers had eight heavy laser turrets in its arsenal for combating against smaller Confederation capital ships and starfighters. It was also capable of carrying capship missiles.
History
One notable Ralarrad was the vessel that attacked Locanda IV during Operation Unseen Death, a Kilrathi operation to eradicate life in the Locanda System. This ship fired five biological warheads at the planet while Confed pilots tried to stop them, however the missiles slipped by and infected Locanda IV and the system was afterwards quarantined by Confed.
Dozens of Ralarrad-Class Destroyers were included in the Grand Armada assembled above Kilrah in 2669. This was the fleet intended to destroy Earth in order to vanquish the Terrans once and for all. However, almost of these vessels were destroyed when Colonel Christopher Blair destroyed Kilrah with the deployment of the Temblor Bomb.
