Ghorah Khar is a star system in the Enigma Sector and a Kilrathi colony.[1]

Ghorah Khar was seized by Kilrathi rebels who had become disillusioned with their leadership and sought a chance to join humanity.[2] Crown Prince Thrakhath nar Kiranka begun a campaign to retake the planet. Khasra was forced to destroy the shipyards in order to prevent the rebels from gaining the Prince's stealth fighter technology, although that meant slowing down their war progress dramatically.[3]

In the non-canon losing scenario, Prankster from TCS Concordia has to perform several missions:
  1. Flying a P-64C Ferret equipped with a trace analyzer, Maveric flew courier to the Ghorah Khar Field HQ and meanwhile trace jumps of Kilrathi ships and learn where they are headed. During the mission he encounters a Dorkathi-class laying mines in the system, escorted by Jalkehis.[2]
  2. On his way back, Prankster had a plotted course to avoid troop movements, but he receives a distress call from Sable Star, assaulted by Drakhris.[4]
  3. Later Prankster flies a A-17D Broadsword in order to detect jump traces. In the area there is also a Kamekh-class with a Drakhri escort, and a wing of Jalkehis. Meanwhile Doomsday patrols around the ship.[5]
  4. In P-64C Ferrets, Zorro leads the Concordia through the system, while T-Hawk sweeps right and Prankster sweeps left; during his patrol he encounters several phantom ships but his flight recorder is lost.[6]

Failure to save the Sable Star AND destroy the Kamekh results in Prankster's reassignment to Caernarvon Station and end of the game.

In that system,

  1. Expecting a major Kilrathi offensive in the system, Angel sent specifically Prankster and Hobbes to a patrol mission in F-44G Rapiers. They encountered Jalkehis and Grikaths, one piloted by Kur Human-Killer.[7]
  2. Prankster and Hobbes engage a wing of Drakhris and then rescue Bonnie Heather which is assaulted by Jalkehis, and then escort James Taggart to the Concordia.[8]
  3. Olympus Station was under attack by a Kamekh-class and a wing of Grikaths. Meanwhile the Concordia was also attacked by Sarthas but they are wiped out by Prankster, Hobbes and a pair of patroling Rapiers. They rendez vous with Alexa and Jeager in A-17D Broadswords who are escorting Clydesdale-class minesweeper Gunga Din. The four pilots then proceeded to defend Olympus Station.[9]
    Failure to destroy the Kamekh will trigger the losing path of Novaya Kiev in the next series.
  4. As Prankster and Hobbes left the Station, they defended it once more from wings of Drakhris and Jalkehis before returning to the Concordia.[10]

After these events, the Kilrathi called off their attack on Ghorah Khar and the Concordia left for Novaya Kiev.[11][12]
