Alien 'Killer Ship' about to fire upon the TCS Devereaux At 2025 hours 2681.018, in the Kilrah asteriod belt near Kilrah Prime, 'Alien forces' on unknown origin initiated an apparent military strike on the Copernicus-Class planetological research vessel TCS Devereaux, destroying it. From this time till 0345 hours 2681.019, two colonies, four intelligence outpost and a research station have also been destroyed within the Kilrah system. The degree and speed of destruction suggest a force that is to be Confed's equal, but has not yet demonstrate that it is our master. It is recommended that naval operation pursue a near-term strategy of maximum defensive readiness combined with limited offensive feints and probes to test the enemies capabilities. Alien vessels entering our space It is also recommended that initial sorties include at least one carrier or megacarrier, and a proportional escort of cap-ships. Since the enemy's effectiveness against static targets is established, it is recommended that all spaceworthy battleships be kept in space and dispersed, returning to base only for the minimum times required.

Could the emerging of this 'Alien forces' coincide with the famous "Prophecy of Sivar" (which many xenohistorians believe predates its reported authoress, the prophetess Kt'lan, and even the historical prophet Sivar himself, by several centuries), which formed a philosophic cornerstone of Kilrathi culture? The prophecy also states that if the Kilrathi ever faltered in their path of conquest, the 'gods' would return and destroy both the Kilrathi remnant and their conquerors (a horrific prediction to the Kilrathi, who view the death of a blood-foe by another's hand as among the gravest of dishonours).



   
       "There shall come a time when one who has the 
        Heart of a Kilrathi but is not Kilrathi-born,
       shall rain cleansing fire down upon us. And
        Kn'thrack, a time of great darkness shall 
                      embrace us.

       Death itself shall pour forth, consuming the stars
        in a veil of darkness. Their's is the claw that 
       tears flesh from bone. Their's is the poisoned fang.
        Their numbers shall rend the universe barren and 
       crush the breath from our clans. We shall be bath 
                  with our own blood and 
               rotted flesh shall be our fate.
       
      With a deafening thunder shall the Dark Age begin."


Destruction as foretold by the Prophecy If this is truely the fulfillment of the 'Prophecy of Sivar', then it is likely that we are looking at the only possible scenario. Kn'thrack or "void" would occur if the Kilrathi were defeated by unworthy opponents and the 'Aliens' were here to annihilate them without honour. Confed Intelligence Central Processing assigned the code name "Nephilim" to the current threat, until such a time as a more precise appellation is possible.



The TCS Midway prepare to engage the enemy So far, only the megacarrier the TCS Midway and her crew have encounter this 'Alien force' and early engagement with this force have resulted in proving that the 'Alien' is only slightly more advanced than us in destructiveness and they are also superior in numbers. Most encounter ended in victory for the Midway and her crews of fighters. The only real strategic advantage the enemy has over us is its communication-blocking technology. Prior to and for the durations of the attacked, they managed to completedly seal off their targets from all communications.

Other questions still remains, does the force encountered so far represents a large, state-of-the-art strike force, or does the enemy have even more devastating forces staged in reserved? So far, Midway and her crew have encounter more than ten types of fighters belonging to the enemies. It is believed that those fighters too are group in similiar fashion like us, comprising of Light Fighters, Multi-Role Fighters, Heavy Fighters, Bomber and etc. Most of these fighters are arm with superior weapons technology and some are even capable of 'merging' to form a more devastating fighters with greater destructive weapons. Their weapons are much like ours, consisting of Laser type and missile-base. All their fighters are highly maneuverable and some are even faster than the Vampire.

Enemy JumpGate Their Capital Ships is a different story all-together, possessing weapons that is more than a match for us. Even the megacarrier, the TCS Midway is like a dwarf compare to these cap ships. The early destruction of the TCS Brack and its escort, a group consisting of one small capital ship and less than a dozen tactical fighters was the first to fall prey. Recordings show that the Brack was swiftly disposed of. Furthermore, all the enemy cap ships are arm to the teeth, with many turrets and missile launchers built upon it. To take out one cap ships would be hard but not impossible.

Like the Kilrathi before us, if our assets, our numbers and our unrestricted lines of supply can be combine with creative but prudent strategy, we may well be able to contain and ultimatedly defeat the enemy. "We shall preveil and must preveil for the continuence existance of all life, for all humanity sake and for the future generations, to have the right to live. NO enemy shall deny us this!!".
