Kir'qath Class Starship[3]
The Kir'qath (or Defender) is an Escort vessel, and for a time was the only true Escort in the Kor'vattra.
Overview
The Kir'qath is unusual for an escort in that it is quite slow and not as manoeuvrable as the Imperial Sword Class Frigate that inspired it. It possesses greater firepower than a Sword Class, however, being equipped with both a multi-arc railgun battery and a respectable torpedo salvo.[1]
