A-14 Raptor
The Terran Knowledge Bank
The Raptor was a Terran Confederation heavy fighter. It was included in Joan's Fighting Spacecraft Vega Sector Supplement for 2654.092.
In Phase One of the 2633 Enyo Engagement a force of Raptors was reconfigured to carry additional Porcupine Space Mines and almost no missiles. The Raptors dropped their mines around the Enyo System's primary jump point and then engaged the superior Kilrathi fleet. After the Kilrathi fleet was forced to maneuver away from the mines and then scatter further to hunt the Raptors, a radio signal detonated the minefield to allow a Confederation fleet to jump in.
