Editing Raider Vessel

{{:Starship-Nav-Bar-Two-2019CE}}
[[Raider Vessel]]s are small, fast [[warship]]s designed for predatory commerce raiding.
* They tend to operate independently of fleet command, seeking their own targets.
* Raider vessels are included as part of the [[Corsair Vessel|P-class Corsair Vessel]] mission grouping.
* The [[Supraclass]] designation is also known as [[Ship Mission]], [[Ship Mission Code]], Mission, or [[Ship Hull Designation]]. 
* It is a [[starship]] [[supraclass]].

== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
Corsairs are infamous throughout space, especially the dreaded Vargr corsair! Corsair vessels may be purposefully built at [[Shipyard|rogue shipyard]] or, as often as not, converted from existing ship types and classes. 
* [[Piracy]] is one of the scourges of [[Interstellar Trade within Charted Space]].
* Some vessels act as privateers with legal imprimatur or commerce raiders under military purview.
* And even other vessels act as Q-ships in a distinctly anti-piracy mission and role. Q-ships are technically H-class security vessels, but are included in this entry since they interact with Type-Ps by design.

=== Strategy & Tactics (Doctrine) ===
''Raider Vessels'' are typically ambush ships, hoping to surprise, overcome, and loot unarmed victims. Prize vessels are always desired as well. Most predatory pirate vessels carry boarders not only to overcome enemy crew, but to temporarily crew captured vessels until they can be sold or otherwise disposed of. And [[Privateer vessel]]s, in turn, ambush [[corsair vessel]]s along with [[Q-ship]]s.
