| + | The Kalahan is a not a good looking boat, with a bizarre mix of hard angles broken by elongated blisters of components covered in armor, such as the ships weapons, life rafts, and other external equipment. The ship is roughly divided into two sections, the fore and after, being different dimensions in size, the aft being larger than the bow. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In a general shape, the hull is squarely angled from the flat bow to the full length of the sides, creating a steep slope in the outer hull to the flat tops and bottoms. This once simple but inelegant design has been augmented with upgrades, variants, and refits over the years until it appears as though the ship were covered in ugly misshapen blisters breaking its clean lines. | ||

| + | The Kalahan was originally built at first as testbed, but then as an emergency measure as chelti entered their first interstellar wars. The early models, outmatched and produced as fast as possible, were not fitted with radiation shielding even around the reactor. The ships were just not expected to last that long. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This extremely attritional attitude was what kept the Kalahan in production in one form or another, it's simple engineering being able to be made easily, already in mass production, and able to be upgraded easily, it has stayed relevant through sheer availability at least. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In modern times the ship is regarded as a disposable but effective vessel for various purposes, modified and adapted to plethora of roles. | ||
