The Targu-class was a type of frigate used by the Kilrathi Empire during the Kilrathi crisis, and perhaps earlier, in the Varni War.
By the time of the crisis some of them must have sported some new upgrade, allowing them to turn about using a scoop field faster than a couple of minutes, as was expected for ships of that size.[1]
History[]
On 2634.121, 3 frigates were in the Hallin system. When the smuggler ship Phantom traversed the system, 2 accelerated to block its way towards the jump point while 4 Vak fighters pursued it. The Phantom on its way fooled briefly the frigate's firewall while shooting against the fighters.
The frigates started coming about to align with the Phantom 's new course much faster than Kevin Milady was expecting. The ship then launched a nuke mine and a fake one; one of the frigates was destoryed, while the other changed course to avoid the remaining mine, not knowing it was fake. It launched 3 seekers against the Phantom. As it approached the frigate's volley, the Vaks maintained some distance.[1]
The Phantom managed to escape. The loss of the frigate created a fuss among the Kilrathi, and security was tightened.[2]
