The '''Kiernu fighter'''<ref>{{Bsgwiki term}}</ref> is a starfighter employed by the [[Kiernu]], a species encountered by [[The Fleet (TOS-DE alternate)|The Fleet]] during their initial entrance into the [[Empyrean Expanse]] ({{Comics|classic|0}}).  
'''Comitat frigates''' are a class of spacecraft built by [[The Comitat]] for defensive and offensive purposes. Offensively, frigates deploy [[bladeship]] fighters and various energy weapons that overwhelm their targets, with the intent of disabling them.  


Appearing to have similar silhouettes to the [[Cylons (TOS-DE alternate)|Cylon]] [[Raider (TOS-DE alternate)|Raider]], this fighter possesses a minimum of forward-mounted energy weapons and two rear-mounted engines. Beyond these similarities, the Kiernu fighter lacks the speed of the [[Colonial]] [[Viper (TOS-DE alternate)|Viper]], as exemplified during Blue Squadron's ability to run interference for the Fleet as they pass through a narrow corridor of Kiernu space for the duration of one [[centar]] ({{Comics|classic|0}}).
Numerous frigates patrol the Expanse and are commanded by [[Thane (title)|Thanes]] from a central operations post ({{Comics|classic|1}}). These frigates then dock with a central mothership called [[the Node]] ({{Comics|classic|3}}).
[[File:BSG - Counterstrike - Kiernu Fighters Attack Vipers 2.png|thumb|The twin, rear-mounted engines of the Kiernu's fighters are insufficient to keep pace with [[Colonial]] [[Viper (TOS-DE alternate)|Vipers]] ({{comics|classic|0}}).]]
The armament of this craft is inferior to the Viper, according to the [[Kiernu Chancellor]]'s remarks to [[Lucifer (TOS-DE alternate)|Lucifer]] before their death ({{Comics|classic|1}}).  


Additionally, frigates are deployed during reconnaissance operations in the [[Empyrean Expanse]] in their quest to search for their mortal enemy, the [[Okaati]], as well as any that assist them ({{Comics|classic|0}}—{{Comics|classic|5|short=y}}).

== Notes ==
* During Captain Apollo's incarceration aboard the Node, at least 23 frigates were either docked or on patrol near the aforesaid mothership ({{Comics|classic|3}}).
* The Comitat races involved with the creation and manufacture of these frigates are never specified.
