Edit this nav

The Kos'karii are the largest and strongest pirate faction in the Shoals. They are led by the Klingon pirate king known as Jilor.

Surviving crewmembers of ships attacked by the Kos'karii that demonstrate particular skill are given a chance to join them. Those that refuse are generally put out into space.

Fleet and Tech

The flagship of Jilor's fleet is the Mas-to-Gal (translated to Throne Seeker), a Qin heavy raptor. The rest of Jilor's fleet is a mishmash of various other ships and tech. Some of it is barely spaceworthy, but each ship is well-armed and in possession of a cloaking device.

Of particular note, Jilor recently gained access to (stole) several dozen photon torpedoes salvaged from the wreck of an old Klingon ship found in the Shadows.

The fleet has also developed a technique they call the "soliton lattice," which can be deployed by a network of cloaked ships surrounding a vessel at warp. When properly used, the lattice will destabilize warp fields, forcing a captured ship to drop out of warp.

Name Meaning

In Klingon mythology, kos'karii are pale, serpent-like creatures that roam the waters crossed by the Barge of the Dead on its way to Gre'thor. Similar to the sirens of Earth mythology, the kos'karii used the voices of friends and loved ones to draw dishonored souls to their peril.
