TCS Kirsk
Type	Concordia-Class Fleet Carrier
Manufacturer
Primary user	Terran Confederation

The TCS Kirsk was a Concordia-Class Fleet Carrier that served the Terran Confederation during the Terran-Kilrathi War until its near-destruction in 2663.

The TCS Kirsk was active in the Vega Sector in 2663, by which time the Kilrathi had apparently reestablished their presence there. During that year, the Kirsk ventured to Hell's Kitchen, where it was to destroy a Kilrathi starbase.

During that mission, the Kirsk was attempting to covertly slip past Kilrathi patrols in the system, hoping to strike the starbase head-on without resistance. However, the Kilrathi were using a new secret code, which Communications Officer Edmond attempted to decode. She failed to decipher it correctly, however, thus alerting the Kilrathi to the presence of the Kirsk. The Kilrathi launched a massive assault on the Kirsk causing massive damage to the carrier. The attack left 2,000 Terran crew members dead and only a handful of survivors. Edmond was among them, and spent six months in a burn ward while undergoing extensive facial surgery. The incident left her physically and psychologically scarred for life.

The Kirsk itself was likely destroyed or damaged beyond repair following the outcome of the battle.
