'''Infidel Raiders''' are [[Chaos]] [[Escort]] class ships.
==Overview==
The Infidel's design originated from the [[Monsk]] orbital shipyards in an effort to provide a larger version of the [[Cobra Destroyer]], which disappeared in late [[M40]]. 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]].{{Fn|1}}
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}}
For combat, Infidel vessels are equipped with [[Torpedo]] tubes and [[Weapons Battery]].{{Fn|1}}
