Description

Created as a surgical scalpel on a galactic scale, the Ka’Toc is a deadly vessel the Narns built for one purpose – to hunt down and destroy enemy warships. Named after the traditional blade of Narn warriors, it is not a carrier, it is not an escort and it is not a transport; though it can serve in all of those capacities to some small degree. Using the ability to deploy a flight of fighters when the need arises, the Ka’Toc can remain in a prolonged battle for longer missions and still expect to survive. Having no jump drive makes it dependent on other capital ships or jump gates for true galactic mobility. It supports a very large array of devastating weaponry, much more than one would commonly find on a ship its size.

Deployed in the aftermath of a large battle, the Ka’Toc is usually in the company of Sho’Kar scouts. The group roams the system, scanning for enemies still putting out active signals or transmitting for help. As the scouts find them – the Ka’Toc finishes them off. This bloody duty is not its only course of action, but traditionally the Narn cannot ‘put the ship in dock without drawing blood’ in mimicry of the sword.

To combat the traditional mentality, the Kha’Ri refitted several Ka’Tocs, replacing the mag gun with another laser cannon. The Ka’Tan is still a powerhouse for its size, though using arrays of lower grade than the existing weapons. The result was a fast escort that can withstand a great degree of punishment in the frontline of battle as it tears apart light ships of the enemy – possibly leaving them floating in space to be put down by its parent ship.
