Description
The Raider-class fills the gap between starfighters and larger frigates as a fast anti-starfighter escort and patrol combatant. Its size falls directly within the Anaxes corvette band. Two principal subtypes, Raider I and Raider II, use differing weapons arrangements while sharing the same general hull family.

Raider II-class corvette
| Status | Active |
|---|
The Raider II exchanges part of the parent corvette’s defensive battery for heavier missiles, ion weapons, and improved target-acquisition systems.
The altered weapons fit allows the corvette to disable protected targets, deliver concentrated missile attacks, and support boarding operations. It retains the Raider hull, propulsion, and patrol endurance while accepting reduced point-defense coverage in exchange for greater offensive reach.
