The Kokirrak class is a preferred ship for flagship operations due to its extensive admiral’s quarters, which include command and communications equipment, as well as entertainment chambers. The ship is capable of controlling a large fleet engagement within a system, as well as holding its own in battle; the combination of fleet controller and line-of-battle ship makes it an asset in nearly any space combat situation.

Normally, the Kokirrak class does not carry troops. It is possible to install modular quarters for upto 2,000 troops (usually only 1,000 are carried) in the cargo hold. A squadron of eight Kokirraks can carry between 8,000 and 16,000 troops, or the equivalent of a reinforced division.

This class of dreadnaught, when originally designed and constructed, mounted black globe force field generators. Over the years, various ships have suffered black globe generator failures, and the devices have not been replaced. When encountered, there is approximately a 50% chance that the ship will mount a functioning black globe.

The Kokirrak class is one of the oldest class of dreadnaughts in Imperial service, and are now being phased out of service. Within the last decade, several ships have been disposed of to other services such as the scouts, and to other governments, including sector navies and client-states in the Spinward border regions of the Imperium.
