"Raiders" is a collective term that refers to a number of different groups of pirates and criminals that prey on shipping lanes, mostly on the frontiers between non-aligned worlds, border worlds and colonies.
Known Activities
Though an ongoing threat to interstellar security, their gradual rise in activity near the League worlds slowed in 2258 when the Shadows destroyed one of their few jump capable ships.[1]
In 2261, several groups taking advantage of the general chaos and new-found abundance of military hardware in the aftermath of the Shadow War began hitting supply ships, though at least some of these attacks were found to have been carried out by Drakh forces. [2] One particular group was stopped when an apparently lightly defended shipment of Quantium 40 turned out to be a "mouse trap" set by the Army of Light. With the "battle wagon" that they had been using as a base disabled, the raiding party was forced to surrender themselves. The prisoners were later taken to the penal colony in the Drazi Freehold.[3]
In 2262 One group of raiders that had been harassing the Enphili was found to have been secretly supported by the Drazi Freehold for at least ten standard years. [4]
