Raiders are a type of starship. They are fast attack ships with a number of special features. Compared to equivalent Escorts and Raptors, Raiders have one fewer weapon slot but benefit from to gain a damage boost when attacking an enemy's rear arc. Like Escorts and Raptors, end-game Raiders also have an Experimental Weapon slot. Raiders also have a focus on Universal Bridge Officer seats. Some raiders have one fewer Bridge Officer seat but have full Universal seating instead. These ships are extremely maneuverable by design and are an ideal ship for fighting in groups of more than one due to their high maneuverability, allowing players fighting together to constantly be in a flank position of an enemy, therefore vastly reducing their ability to regulate their shields and protect their hull.

The Klingon Bird-of-Prey is the most iconic Raider and is a long standing Klingon design dating back to the 22nd century. The B'rel Bird-of-Prey is the first ship that players of the Klingon Empire will be given.

Federation Raiders are known as Light Escorts.
