About
Edit
The Jalthi-class heavy fighter was the most heavily armed Kilrathi fighter of its time and extremely feared by the Terran Confederation. The Jalthi was designed for large offensives, but its defensive capabilities weren't as strong compared to many Confederation fighters at the time. Still, with its six front-mount weapons array, a Jalthi fighter could easily tear through any fighter it encounters, especially lighter fighters. Compared to the Confederation Raptor Heavy Fighter mounting two mass drivers and two neutron cannons, the Jalthi class heavy fighter mounts three neutron cannons and three laser cannons. To support this, the heavy fighter has a total of two missile hard points. The shields of the heavy fighter are also a bit stronger than the Confederation equivalent and the Kilrathi fighter is extremely heavily armored. The only real advantage which the Confederation Raptors had was better acceleration.
