Kurasawa is a system in the Vega Sector,[3] inside the border of the Empire of Kilrah.[2] Kilrathi call it Warach Tha and have several bases on and around Kurasawa IV, vital to Kilrathi command and communication in the sector.[1]
History
After Port Hedland, TCS Tiger's Claw entered the system marking the halt of the Kilrathi advance into the Terran Confederation space, and the Terrans now turning the Vega Campaign to the offensive.[4]
In that system, Maverick flew with Bossman several times as the Black Lion squadron:
- The Empire attempted to ferry troops and supplies to these bases to defend them. At first the Kilrathi sent some Dorkir-class, attempting to supply Kilrathi bases with supplies and command staff. The pilots and engaged the Kilrathi transports, one escorted by Dralthis, one by Krants, and one by Jalthis.[1]
- The CSS Suffolk torched a Kilrathi communications station on Kurasawa IV. Later a Ralari-class captured by the Confed in the Port Hedland system arrived to the front in order to be used in the siege. The pilots passed through a Salthi ambush, but the Ralari was under attack by Grathas,[5] and the pilots were not able to save her.
- The Exeter-class TCS Formidable also arrived in the system. It was attacked by Dralthis, but Maverick and Bossman came its rescue, and later protected the destroyer from a Krant ambush.[6]
Following these operations, the Claw jumped to Rostov.
