Description: The Kalrechi is the most expensive medium fighter on the civilian market in the Tri-System. As such, they occupy an unpopular void between the more celebrated heavy Freij designs and the more cost-effective Skecis medium fighters. Two of the pilots who acted as seconds in the duel between Baron Conrad Velder and Count Perrymore, Monty Pride and Curtis Blatch, flew Kalrechis. One of the Tri-System's most well-known pilots, Iuste Suttilis, flies a Kalrechi.
The Kalrechi entered service before 2782. De-commissioning of some Kalrechis, including W266_003S occurred in 2790. Two Kalrechi still in flying condition are E647_543K (2782) and E647_543K (2782). Kalrechi M345_656H is missing.
