Marauder

Marauders in Claiming Cosmos: 500 HP raiders with the same 85-tile guns as a Warship, at half the cost and 1.5× speed.

Folklore

A Marauder is the cutter you send when a Warship would be late — faster, thinner, and still packing the same reach.

Ledger

Hit points

500 — half a Warship. One good volley from a ranked Warship will open her.

Guns

Same 85-tile reach as a Warship, but one shot per volley. Ranked Marauders keep a stacked +20% damage per stripe.

Speed

1.5× a Warship (about 1.5 tiles per tick; 3 steps when hunting).

Cost

First hull $125,000, then scaling to a $500,000 cap. Spawns from the nearest Harbor.

In the game

Select and move them like Warships. Use them to run down trader ships and cut Transports. Park a Tender nearby if you are far from a Harbor.
