I feel I have to modify a statement I made earlier. I have often said that the Marauders became deadly warship hunters after receiving the hyperspace drive and torpedo upgrades. Some people think I am saying they were not deadly before then. That is not the correct interpretation to take out of those statements. The base Marauders were very deadly. We never would have been victorious at Fort Wichita or Fort London without Marauder squadrons supporting our warships and harrying the Shang assaults. They helped hold the lines until we arrived. But once they became independent of fixed space stations or carriers for deployment and could carry weapons capable of generating capital-ship levels of destruction, they became a force multiplier that allowed us to strike back at the Shang.
