View source for Cobra Class Destroyer

The Cobra Class Destroyer is a [[torpedo]] boat. It is fast enough, and manoverable enough to get into a position from where its torpdeos will do most damage. However, due to its small size, large engine signiture, and relitivly poor armour, it does not stand well to enemy fire. This shouldn't be a problem however, due to the long range of a torpedo. Cobras act in squadrons of between two and six ships, making a torpedo volly from a squadron enough to cripple a large capital ship. It is the smallest independent [[Imperium|Imperial]] warship, the smaller ones being carried aboard larger cruisers.

The Cobra has a pair of torpedo tubes in the prow, and a single [[weapons battery]] positioned to fire to the sides, and infront of the ship. The weapons battery is a purely defensive measure, for when the Cobra is attacked by enemy escorts. It is short ranged, and is almost never used to attack a capital ship, it simply is not powerful enough to do any real damage.

Famous Cobra Squadrons include [[The Widowmakers]] and the [[Skargul Patrol]]
