Description: The Sha'Kar-Class Transport is a class of transport that saw extensive service with the Kilrathi Empire in the later half of the Terran-Kilrathi War.
Class Overview
The Sha'Kar is another of several Kilrathi transport classes whose primary purposes include supplying the Kilrathi fleet, refueling capital ships, and ferrying troops to the frontlines. Characteristic of most transports, the Sha'Kar is poorly-armed and possesses weak armor, so it must rely on escorts if it is to reach its intended target.
The Sha'Kar is a modular vessel composed of several polygonal modules connected by "girders".
