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 Frigate|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.{{Fn|1}}
