The Jalkehi is a heavy fighter and bomber that served with the Kilrathi Empire for much of the Terran-Kilrathi War.

Overview

The Jalkehi is an older heavy fighter design that once saw widespread usage across the war front. Designed as a typical bomber, the Jalkehi is specially suited for staging major assaults against enemy fleets and convoys of the Terran Confederation, while also able to hold its own in a dogfight against Terran starfighters. Armed with a standard payload and formidable gun loadout, it can face most starfighter and capital ship threats with relative ease, and sports its own rear turret to ward off pursuers. The Jalkehi was also often times armed with a jump drive, giving it a greater range on the battlefield and further enhancing its usage as a raiding ship.

Jalkehi squadrons flew with many Kilrathi task forces throughout much of the Terran-Kilrathi War, and were responsible for many raids that led to the destruction of numerous transports and warships. However, by 2667 the Jalkehi was coming of age, prompting their replacement by the much more modern Gothri that year. Jalkehi squadrons were quickly replaced by Gothri squadrons, but they continued to see widespread usage as a secondary bomber throughout the remainder of the War. Their use in raiding operations against the Confederation decreased after the destruction of Kilrah in 2669.
