Description: Named not for the users of the craft, but instead those who suffered under their assaults, the Imphili Raider is a modified Delta-V doctored by a raider cell loyal to political members of the Drazi Freehold. Until they were discovered and destroyed by the White Star fleet in 2262, these Imphili Raider fighters performed bombing raids on the poor people of Imphil for many years. Using a set of altered particle streams to slice away at ground installations and civilian targets, these fighters made short work of any planetary resistance and cowed an entire race for a very long time.

Although the fighters were nearly wiped out by the ISA once discovered, there were a number of the ships that were still in dock for refueling or repairs that were quickly sold on the black market when word reached the raiders that the White Stars were involved. Not the most advanced of fighters, a mercenary pilot would still do well to end up with one of these ships at their disposal.
