Raker-class missile frigate

The Raker-class missile frigate was a small ship that packed a suprising load of firepower.

Characteristics
The Raker-class is shaped like a curved "T", with two bar-shaped engine blocks at the sides of the T. At the junction between the two engines lies a third perpendicular bar, loaded with powerfu sensor systems. Under this is a very small hangar with barely enough room for two scout fighters.

Ahead of this is another long section with many more sensor and communication systems, as well as the ship's defensive armaments of twelve medium laser cannons, four turbolaser cannons, and two ion cannons.

The ship's offensive weapons are a total of 96 concussion missile launchers packed in two large banks, one in front of each engine block. Thus, it can unleash a flurry of missiles at far larger targets and usually win, especially if it uses its pair of fighters to pinpoint a target before attack. Yet, it is only 190 meters long.

These ships usually operate in pairs to attack targets of Star Destroyer size.
