​

• Gunboat: The IRA Raider II is a pure picket ship designed to counter enemy small craft and shoot down incoming missile and torpedo barrages. It excels in this role, proving an absolute menace to enemy fighter and bomber formations with a barrage of plasma bolts and missiles.

​

• Punching Down: Because of the IRA Raider II's lack of turbolasers or larger weapons it struggles to deal any real damage to capital ships larger than itself and instead relies on what ever capital ship the Raider is escorting to deal with large targets.

​

The IRA Raider II is a simple ship designed to pick on anything smaller than itself. Like a school yard bully it wades into fighter formations without a care in the world, easily shredding small craft in every direction with an overwhelming barrage of quad lasser cannons. In much larger engagements the Raider II falls back, staying within the protective care of a much larger ship and shooting down incoming bombers and missile barrages. The role of the picket ship is nearly as old as interstellar warfare itself, and the Raider II is the pinnacle of Imperial picket ship design.
