Introduction ?
Primary user Kilrathi Empire


The Paktahn is a Kilrathi bomber design that saw action towards the end of the war. The Paktahn is most famous in public eyes for its role in the destruction of the Behemoth, an event that was only made public knowledge after the end of the Confed-Kilrathi war. The design saw a renaissance during the Nephilim war, when General Wright suggested creating a cloak-modified variation of the Paktahn in the midst of the Ardai Campaign. Field-modified Paktahns formed the basis for what would become the Paktahn Phantom, which proved itself quickly in battle, giving rise to the Paktahn Tusk, a minelayer variant based off the Phantom. Unlike most minelayers, however, the Tusk is no easy target for a fighter, capable of combining a deployed turret, standard bomber turrets, and regular guns to trap and destroy enemy fighters. The Paktahn Mauler, meanwhile, is the heaviest Paktahn variant to ever exist possessing an extremely heavy armament for one purpose: the total destruction of enemy capital ships and bases.
