Description: After years of Dilgar fleets invading entire systems without warning due to the numerous swarms of Thoruns they had at their disposal, the Abbai were convinced that fighters had a place on the battlefield. Up until that point they had only seen them as armed shuttles and message couriers, and a potential waste of a pilot’s life in bigger battles. Their lack of knowledge on fighter design shows on the final product, but in the Matriarchate’s collective eyes there is no reason to spend so much time on such a tiny resource.

The Kotha is a second-rate fighter by all standards of any other race, but it does fulfill the Abbai’s need to combat other fighters without focusing quad array fire at them. Not only does such an attack measure as overkill, there is little to no chance the enemy pilot could get away from the resulting explosion unharmed. With the tuned-down particle guns on the Kotha, the Abbai can effectively disable but not destroy enemy fighters in an effort to keep up post-battle relations.
