Notes:
A raider used by several pirate groups. They hunt in packs of 3 or 4. The
missle racks are used to eliminate any convoy escorts while the needle beam is
used to disable the FTL drives of the freighters. For quick strike missions
valuable cargo can be loaded driectly on board the ships for a quick getaway.
[Data note: Added "(Military)" to the Hull line - this record had no Military/Merchant type suffix at all. Recovered from its declared Crew (2) matching the Military Crew Factor formula (ceil(40/20) = 2), not the Merchant one (ceil(40/50) = 1).]
