| Type | Heavy Destroyer |
| Manufacturer | Kilrathi |
The Ralaxath-Class Heavy Destroyer that served with the Kilrathi Empire during the latter stages of the Terran-Kilrathi War.
Class Overview
The Ralaxath is a heavier warship in comparison to its cousin, the Ralarrad-Class Light Destroyer. It possesses a heavier armament and is therefore a dangerous threat to any Terran warship that approaches it. However, unlike the Ralarrad, it does not carry a starfighter complement due to the absence of a visible hangar, and therefore flies with escorts.
History
The Ralaxath entered service during the later stages of the Terran-Kilrathi War at an unknown date. Colonel Christopher Blair first encountered a Ralaxath in the Freya System in 2669 during the Terran Confederation's offensive in the system.
When Colonel Blair and his wing departed for Kilrah with the intent of destroying the Kilrathi homeworld with the Temblor Bomb, he and his wingmen encountered several Ralaxath's while en route to the planet. Once again, he was successful in destroying these vessels.
