Our friends in Marauders earned a fearsome reputation for neutralizing Chinese defenses in the Hyades. Their craft truly were designed for striking larger opponents, but the Chinese adapted. We were forced to adapt as well, and we tested many new weapons to break the Chinese pickets. The most successful was a new generation of torpedo weapon. Similar to the rockets of our Pre-Contact fleets, the Marauders were uniquely suited to carrying their heavy payloads. That made bomber squadrons like VMSB-413, the Flying Nightmares, extremely valuable in the Hyades once combat trials proved the new weapon worked.
