The GTF Kulas was originally a civilian design popular with pirates and law enforcement agencies within GTVA systems. After the resolution of the Second Shivan Incursion, RNI Systems refurbished the design, replacing the old reactor with one of military grade. The result is a moderately powerful light fighter, able to perform a multitude of tasks, and it has provided a welcome boost to GTVA fighter strength.

MotA Tech Room Description

The Kulas appears to be a variant of several ageing aerospace designs. Little is known about this ship, bar what information has been gathered from flight-recordings and salvaged debris. What we do know is that this ship has exceptional performance for a civilian vessel - almost equivalent to military Ulysses class fighter. Whilst it poses a significant threat to unguarded freighters, we do not believe it can threaten military ships - especially as the pilots lack access to modern weaponry.

Blue Planet Tech Description

The GTF Kulas was originally a civilian design popular with pirates and law enforcement agencies within GTVA systems. After the resolution of the Second Shivan Incursion, RNI Systems refurbished the design, replacing the old reactor with one of military grade. The result is a moderately powerful light fighter, able to perform a multitude of tasks, and it has provided a welcome boost to GTVA fighter strength.

Veteran Comments

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.


The Kulas in Blue Planet is actually more maneuverable than practically any other fighter. It's not particularly fast and it's not especially tough, but it's smaller and more maneuverable than the Myrmidon, Aurora, and even the Perseus. The 4 gun bank that it has, combined with a power output of 5 gives the Kulas more firepower than the Perseus as well - on par with the Myrmidon and Aurora. That said, it only has enough space for sixteen Harpoons and it's fairly fragile armor limits the endurance of this fighter. Like the Thoth, it's an excellent dogfighter, but there are no missions in which to merely dogfight. It is capable of standing toe-to-toe with a single Kentauroi, but will be swarmed very easily.
