Nausicaan raiders were vessel-types employed by Nausicaan pirates during the mid-22nd century for raiding freighter routes.
These vessels are armed with forward and aft plasma cannons and possessed primitive shields. Although their weapons were considered formidable to a Y class freighter, Nausicaan raiders were outmatched by NX class starships, whose spatial torpedoes were capable of piercing Nausicaan shields.
Three of these vessels, operating out of an asteroid base, attacked the ECS Fortunate, raiding it of its cargo for a period of several months during 2151. Fortunately, Enterprise was near by to offer assistance. (ENT: "Fortunate Son")
- These vessels could presumably travel faster than warp 1.8, the maximum speed of the Fortunate, for them to be able to constantly locate, track, attack, and raid said vessel over an extended period of time.
