Description:
The Krogan Empire, being in need of a temporary flagship for its navy, looked for something to fill the gap as a temporary flagship as the Empire continued to design their own vessels and grow in size. The Krogan caught an eye of another neighboring power in the Attican Traverse, the ambitious Erineos Republic, and approached them to make a deal in 2200 for a design of one of their vessels. A deal was brokered between the Krogan Imperial Navy and Svyok Design Bureau as the Krogan found themselves taken with the design of the future ERC Cassus Kett. The various catapult systems, fighter storage, weapon stations, and overall design exhibited such potential for the vessel, though the only issue was size. While 630m was perfect for Asari as a carrier type vessel, it was far too small for the territorial Krogan. They asked Svyok if the design could be geared for Krogan for licensed production and Svyok Design Bureau gladly accepted the challenge.

Passageways were made wider for Krogans, the ship elongated, and more powerful catapult systems added as greater hangar space was allowed and to take into account the Krogan's fighters. The sole landing pads at the conning tower were re-purposed for shuttles while the catapults towards the bow were configured for fighters and interceptors. In addition, the Thyserians have adopted the turrets of the Kett, originally using standard MAC weaponry to utilize the Bloodrage Cannons of EGA. This allowed the Ravanor-class, like the Cassus Kett itself, to have some defensive bite.

The original Octavius-type engines were upsized and converted to anti-matter for the Krogans as well, thus dubbed the "Ravanor" engines. In keeping with the Krogan system of redundancy, the greater size of the Ravanor-class allowed for the use of redundant power plants and drive units. The Krogan would have a Carrier and temporary flagship as strong as they themselves and for as cheap as possible. The Krogan accepted the design updates, which was delayed due to the Reaper War, and the Hierarchy began to build one at their Naval Yards on Palaven.

The KIN Ravanor Xarak served its purpose as a flagship for a time before the introduction of the Emperor-class Dreadnoughts. It was phased out once the Krogan Empire pressed the Thyserian Nerpa and Victoria class vessels into service. Original plans to procure several more of this type were scrapped as the newer designs proved themselves. After this, with the class' designer now vassals of the Krogan Empire, the "big sister" as she had been referred to by the Krogan joined the "little sister" in the Thyserian Royal Navy and became the flagship of the Colonial Defense Flotilla.

With the coming demobilizing of the Colonial Defense Flotilla, which is surplus to requirements in the Empire, the Ravanor Xarak is slated to become a drone testing vessel to test the feasibility of drone control of the ships with mech pilots and crew for any fighters on board. After this testing, it is slated to become a museum ship over Virmire, as a veteran of the Krogan Civil War.
