The [[Emperor of Kilrah]] personally comissioned the production of the Snakeir-class superdreadnought line in 2649, the heaviest battleships to enter service until the final year of the war. The [[dreadnoughts]] are built and manned only by members of the nar Kiranka clan. At least 51 were produced, of which seven were destroyed by [[2654]] (five in combat and two in accidents). As is often the case with Kilrathi capital ships, multiple sizes exist: the 915-meter long standard version and a huge three to four kilometer long command ship. No Snakeir-class ship has ever been captured.
#REDIRECT [[Snakeir-class carrier]]
 
Six years later, the massive battleship design was spun off into a smaller dedicated fleet carrier. The Empire deployed between four and ten of the carriers in late 2654-55. They first saw action in the [[Ardai]] System, while combat testing the new Hhriss-class fighter. Snakeir carriers went on to serve at the defense of [[Jakarta]] and with the strike fleets invading [[Firekka]].
 
Maj. [[James Taggart]] lead the first succesful strike against a Snakeir - trading a [[Rapier II]] and its pilot to destroy the carrier. Commodore [[Christopher Blair]] is credited with three confirmed Snakeir kills - the superdreadnought [[KIS Grist'Ar'Roc]], lured into a gravity well in the [[Sol]] System, and two carriers during the Firekka campaign.
 
Other notable Snakeir include the superdreadnought [[KIS Shak'Ar'Roc]], which lead the fleet that attempted to capture the renegade [[TCS Olympus]] in 2654.
