The Dru'Shahki Battlecruiser is an upgraded version of the Chu'Kahni Dreadnought. Built after the K'Thonn Rebellion, the Dru'Shahki Battlecruisers integrated many of the new technologies, including several purchased from the Kylon Union. This included a total sensor package upgrade to replace the ship's antiquated sensor arrays.

The first Dru'Shahki's had just started their shakedown cruises when they were called upon to join the K'Thonn task force charged with the invasion of the Nyglum Overmind. The behemoths were used with great success in that campaign and were instrumental in dismantling the Nyglum orbital defense network.
