A Raider-class corvette, also designated as a CPV-class fast attack ship by the Covenant and commonly referred to as a Kig-Yar raider, is a light-tonnage warship fielded by the Covenant fleet. Originally designed and crewed exclusively by members of the Kig-yar species, Raiders became prominently used by various remnant groups and space pirates after the Great Schism, favored for their maneuverability and surprising reliability.
