The Firekiln was a type of powerful capital warship. Roughly equivalent in size to a Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser, five Firekilns had enough firepower to match an Imperial-class Star Destroyer in combat. The alien warlord Nuso Esva made extensive use of the Firekiln as part of his naval force in the Unknown Regions. When the Empire of the Hand captured Esva’s Shipyard at Syca, they used the design for their own navy.
During the Liberation of Oristrom, Esva used fourteen of these ships, while the Hand used two. Multiple were captured by the Hand in the aftermath of the battle.
