Extruder

The Extruder is a light bomber Raptor, equipped with biowarfare weapons to attack human settlements. In the early days of the conflict, before the humans were aware there was an alien presence in the sector, Extruders were able to induce considerable strife between the human factions by attacking outlying colonies on both sides, making them blame one another and provoking tensions between them. Even years after the discovery of the K'luth, human intelligence agencies have not fully sorted-out their level of involvement in starting the Fourth Interstellar War.

Fang

The Fang is a heavy attack Raptor, armed with powerful antimatter torpedo launchers. Between its firepower and its small size, speed, and ECM array, it is adept at sneaking past enemy forces with ease and wreaking havoc behind their lines, mainly by attacking their frail, defenseless support ships. Finally, it carries a psionic beacon launcher that reveals human targets to its allies, regardless of their feeble attempts at stealth. All in all the Fang is a versatile little ship and an asset the K'luth armada makes excellent use of.

Talon

The Talon is the standard K'luth Raptor, roughly equivalent in size and function to human Corvettes. Unlike the humans, who have unarmed Scouts and armed Corvettes, all Raptors have a combat role. The Talon in particular is a fast, light attack ship, intended to engage and destroy enemy craft of roughly the same size. It also carries a long-range scanner, allowing it to monitor human colonies while cloaked and report back to the fleet on potential targets.
