[[Image:Infidel Raider.jpg|thumb|right|Infidel Raider<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}]]'''Infidel Raiders''' are [[Chaos]] [[Escort]] class ships. Its design originated from the [[Monsk]] orbital shipyards in an effort to provide a larger version of the [[Cobra Destroyer]], which disappeared in the late [[M40|40th millennium]]. {{Cite This}} A few years later, a series of attacks against [[Imperial]] outposts and convoys by ships bearing similar design to the escort ship were reported. As time passed, the area of these attacks grew wider as raiding fleets were reported in [[Segmentum Obscurus]] and [[Segmentum Solar]]. {{Cite This}} Imperial efforts to reconstruct the stolen plans resulted in the development of the [[Falchion Escort]] class. In 938 or 939.[[M41]], the two "sister" classes (the ''Falchion'' and the ''Infidel'') would confront each other for the first time in a naval battle over [[Sabatine]].{{Fn|3}}
