Gothri heavy fighter

In the fictional Wing Commander universe, the Gothri was an excellent but fortunately very short-lived Kilrathi heavy fighter introduced in 2666. Advancing technology on both sides of the border rendered it obsolete by late 2668 and in 2669–70 it saw service only in little-contested frontier sectors like Gemini. During its brief service, it was a more than even match for the F-57 Sabre heavy fighter, and it took a combination of a good pilot and a good fighter to defeat the Gothri.

Increasing materials efficiency was what did the Gothri in; by 2669 its once-thick armor plating was comparatively paper-thin and it could easily be defeated by the Confederation's Arrow light fighter. It was succeeded by the excellent Vaktoth heavy fighter.
