Legend

this was was the smallest of the fighter craft designs developed for the Black Sun organization by TransGalMeg, during the height of the New Order. The Kihraxz (pronounced "ki-Rax") was similar to the X-Wing fighter in that its central fuselage was a long, boxy needle. The comparisons ended there, as the nose of the Kihraxz fighter was stabilized by a pair of stout fins. The primary wings of the Kihraxz sloped downward from the hull, and supported the two main sublight engines. The maneuverability of the Kihraxz was provided by a third sublight engine mounted to the rear of the fuselage. This craft was designed primarily for speed, so it lacked the armor plating and weaponry of other TransGalmeg designs such as the Ixiyen Fast Attack Craft and the Rihkxyrk Attack Ship. What it lacked in armament, however, the Kihraxz made up for in maneuverability and performance.
