Description: Kilrathi Star Post are established in safe systems to co-ordinate sector wide campaigns; as such, very few exist. They served as sector commands for the Kilrathi. The 2654 attack on the Venice System's Star Post, which served as the Kilrathi High Command for the Vega Sector, marked the nominal conclusion of the Vega Campaign, and made Lt. Col. Christopher Blair and Capt. Ian St. John household names. Star Posts can be confused with Supply Depots which look very similar.
