    		Kazon Raider
    The following cards can be used as "matching commander" for Kazon Raider:
    - Culluhimage (12 R 143) from Voyager Voyager
    - Haronimage (12 R 146) from Voyager Voyager
    - Suratimage (13 R 94) from The Borg The Borg

    The middle-sized ship in the Kazon fleet is also the fastest. RANGE 9 will let it keep up with an unenhanced Voyager, and easily travel at least two locations on the spaceline each turn. Of course, your effective range is much higher, since the Raider can carry your Kazon Shuttleimages, and in turn be carried by the Kazon Warshipimage.

    Rounding out the high RANGE (especially for a one-staffing-icon ship) are WEAPONS and SHIELDS of 7. Compare this to the equivalent Klingon ship, a K'Vort at 7-6-6, and the opportunities for battle become obvious.

    Combos:

    • Many Kazon Raiders + Kazon Warship + Wormholeimages: Pack the raiders inside the warship, and one set of wormholes lets you bring the entire armada.
    • Kazon Raider + Cullah: As matching commander, he'll bring the Raider up to 11-10-10, enough to stand up to D'deridex Advancedimages, or even Voyager! (Need a spare? The Raiders are universal, and you can always Scission yourself a second Cullah.)
    • Kazon Warshipimage + Kazon Raider + Kazon Shuttleimage: Let each ship move, and then launch the next, to cross distances of up to span 24, and still be able to use the shuttle to land and attempt missions, or board other ships.
