Description: Raider cells with a bit of foresight will sometimes capture the freight vessels they prey upon, rather than simply loot their cargo or scuttle them. Retrofitting them with better armor and upgraded weaponry instead of cargo space, they are then added to the raiders’ fleet in order to attack the next victim. This is not overly expensive, and many tactical raider commanders have found great use for them. Using a small fleet of these ‘decoy’ freighters can be enough to get an entire commercial convoy in a perfect hijacking formation by faking a raider attack in order to get the decoys in position – then springing a second attack from the freighters themselves! Some Raiders find this a very profitable exercise; though others may believe it to be more trouble than it is worth, especially if the freighters are found out early on.
