The Chakuun ghostship is a type of large 23rd century starship used by the Chakuun, a subject race of the Tholian Assembly. It is implied by a Chakuun officer that the ships are of Tholian manufacture. They are more than a match against Federation starships.
Capabilities[]
Aftermath of Chakuun bombardment on Theta Kalyb
Ghostships were protected by layered shielding, and armed with a powerful fusion caster modified for planetary bombardment. Ghostships also carried aboard them squadrons of fighter craft.
In combat, ghostships were superior to anything Starfleet could fight them with. A Constitution-class starship could not penetrate the ghostship's shields with its phasers and could barely survive a glancing blow from the Chakuun's fusion caster. (EV - The Fallen comic: "Part One")
Against a fleet of ghostships, Christopher Pike noted a taskforce consisting of the USS Enterprise and four smaller ships was "no match". (EV - The Fallen comic: "Part Two")
