I have another question for a story I'm writing. I plan to show the Enyo capture from the Kilrathi perspective. The WC Encyclopedia has this entry:
Here's some potential ships that could've been present according to Forstchen's book "Action Stations" circa 2634:
Confed Craft Circa 2634
Wildcat: Space interceptor. Confed's top space dogfighter as of 2634. It was 30 yrs. old as of 2634 with outdated engines and stress flaws becoming increasingly common.
Hurricane: Space to Surface escort fighter. "Hybrid design"- it was 'dead meat' vs. a Wildcat in space and vs. a Hawk in atmosphere. A twin seat variant also existed (probalby for training purposes?) and was at least 40yrs. old. Could still be deadly in the hands of a skilled pilot.
Falcon: Heavy fighter-bomber. A few steps up from the Hurricane.
Hawk: Atmospheric fighter.
Gladiator: An "old" space to surface bomber. Hurricanes were designed to escort these and Sheridan Marine Landing Craft. Stationed at McAuliffe.
Trident: Heavy bomber known to be stationed at McAuliffe in 2634.
Hummer: Light recon and strike plane also stationed at McAuliffe.
Minotaur: Well over 100 yrs. old "should've been in a museum". It was possibly not flyable and stationed at McAuliffe.
Sheridan Marine Landing Craft: Transports Marines from space to surface.
Wasp: Old jump-capable personal transport with one gun.
Confed Capital Ships circa 2634
Battleship: Many were "old", their huge size allowed for strong shields and large high energy weapons. Admirals pre-Kilrathi war would likely select these as their flagships rather than carriers.
Ranger Class Carrier: These were "old" and may escort battleships.
Carrier: It's implied these are different from the Ranger class. One such carrier was the original Concordia lost in the 2634 Battle of McAuliffe.
Heavy Cruiser: I only know of their existance, no info.
Kilrathi Craft Circa 2634
Vak: Fighter craft known to be stationed in the Hallin system inside the Kilrathi Empire. It was patrolling with 'upgraded' frigates.
Heavy Cruiser: I only know of their existance, no info.
Targu Class Frigate: These were 'upgraded' frigates at the time.
Light Frigate: Not much is known other than they were guarding a jump point in the Hallin System.
Civilian Craft Circa 2634
Smuggler Ship: One such ship (the Phantom) was piloted by Landreich smugglers. It possesed a topside gunner/navigator with photon blasts, pilot, co-pilot/front lasers gunner, and cheif engineer/tail gunner with twin mass drivers. Can drop things such as decoy mines and the illegal and expensive Nuke Mines. You can see and hear the tail gunner from the co-pilot seat, so it may not be very large. A Kilrathi Targu Frigate can gain on it if the Smuggler Ship's scoops slow it down.
Obviously I'm primarily short on info for Kilrathi fighters and capital ships. I'm also lacking information on the Kilrathi Enyo invasion. Any extra info or additions to the info I have is appreciated! I'm still going through the book "Action Stations" and hope to find service dates on fighters from this site, but it would greatly help and save time with some help from Wing Commander scholars.
I would like to know what ships each side had available in 2639 for this engagement and which are known to have participated. I would also like to know if anyone has any other info pertaining to this battle.Wing Commander Encyclopedia said:Enyo capture
The Kilrathi occupy the human world of Enyo taking 250,000 humans prisoner. See Enyo engagement.
