The '''Dirge Class Raider''' is part of the [[Necron]] [[Battlefleet Gothic (game system)|Battlefleet Gothic]] fleet list. It is the smallest of vessel in the Necron fleet, and the smaller of the two escorts known escort classes (the other being the [[Jackal Class Raider]]). It appears to be somewhat rarer, although this may just be due to fate the relative scarcity of never encountering themencounters with Necron fleets.

They are believed to be the ships encountered before the [[Yuctan Incident]] and the first known Necron harvest. In 692.M41 a layer of impenitrable impenetrable metal was encountered under the ground of [[Angelis]] which turned out to be a ship which that rose out of the sands and left rapidly. It was likley that the ''Angelis Boat'' was the first Dirge Class Raider.
