Raider Swift Class Blockade Runner

Swift Class History

The Blockade Runner is a fast ship, capable of opening a jump point by itself. Armed with 2 assault lasers, 2 matter cannons, 3 Twin Arrays, and a Railgun, this type of ship was originally thought to be Centauri in origin, but was later proven to be a commonly available civilian hull, only armed with Centauri weapons. It can also carry a flight of Delta V's in a small internal hangar.

There are a few variants of this class, used primarily as police interdiction units and escorts for the main attack forces in use by Raiders. Both are classified as uncommon, basically due to the Plasma Accelerator in use on both the Strike and Lance classes. They are quite effective in their designated roles, though would fall relatively easy to even Reserve or Auxillary Cruisers.

(Note: Both variants were designed by Danesti, whose Centauri House and units will soon be hosted on this site.)
