Raider Vessels are small, fast warships 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 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)[edit]

Corsairs are infamous throughout space, especially the dreaded Vargr corsair! Corsair vessels may be purposefully built at 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)[edit]

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 vessels, in turn, ambush corsair vessels along with Q-ships.

Supraclass Roles[edit]

Raider Vessels typically serve the following roles:

Military Subcraft[edit]

Military subcraft (...both smallcraft and bigcraft) are carried by some of these vessels:

Supraclass Archetypes[edit]

PR-class Raider Vessel Supraclass Archetypes
Archetype	Type Code	Exemplar	Remarks
Raider Vessel	PR	Chameleon class Commerce Raider	Raider vessels attempt to attack enemy ships and assets in order to degrade their war making capability. R = Raider, Commerce Raider, etc.
Privateer Vessel	PRP	Slade Mark I class Frontier Raider	Privateers are a polity-sanctioned vessel that raids opposing polity vessels with a legal sanction. R = Raider, Commerce Raider, etc. P = Privateer
NOTES: There is semantic overlap between many of the classes and codes. Some codes organize by mission or capability, others by size and tonnage, and yet others by other characteristics.

Raider Vessels are typically included as part of the larger Supraclass and grouping: Corsair Vessel.
