Overview
An old design, the Havoc is is primarily used for plundering against Imperial Merchant Fleet shipping. A typical Havoc Raider has fast engines, sizable cargo space, and enough firepower to rival many frigates. However their armor is relatively weak, meaning that they tend to have a hard time going toe-to-toe with a comparable naval vessel. This weakness has earned them the nickname "glass cannon".[1]
Due to its age the Havoc Class is rarely seen in the Imperial Navy but they do nonetheless see some service.[2]
