Small numbers of Raider class corvettes are now appearing throughout the galaxy. The blueprints were completed by an unnamed Outer Rim shipyard and shared with a number of other corporations. One such raid against an Imperial installation was able to capture partial blueprints for a fast and well armed corvette, designed by Lira Zweifel, the designer behind the Imperator class Star Destroyer. As Imperial garrisons began to flex their muscles on former Republic worlds, an increasingly violent insurgency began to take shape, striking back against the new rulers. The corvette's design originates in the turmoil of the Empire's victory over the New Republic.
The Raider-class Missile Corvette is a compact, sleek warship designed to combat small numbers of fighters and run down smugglers in fast light freighters.
