Cobra-class Destroyer

The Cobra-class Destroyer is a quick and versatile Torpedo boat that makes up a significant portion of Battlefleet Obscurus. The Cobra is a valuable addition to any combat fleet, as its torpedoes allow it to be a threat to larger capital ships. However, the Cobra's greatest asset is its speed and maneuverability, enabling it to catch the small, speedy vessels favored by pirates, as was most famously illustrated by Captain Walker's Skargul Patrol in the year leading up to the Gothic War. This demonstrated combination of speed and firepower make the Cobra a popular vessel for scouting, patrolling, raiding, and escort duties.

Notable Cobra-class Destroyer Squadrons

 * The Widowmakers - Officially known as the 24th Destroyer Squadron, the Widowmakers fought in the Gothic War. The squadron is notable for its ships' Weapons batteries having been replaced with experimental long-range scanners.
 * The Skargul Patrol - The Skargul Patrol fought in the Gothic War. It is best known for destroying no less than seventeen pirate vessels in the twelve months leading up to the Gothic War and for chasing down and destroying the notorious Eldar Eclipse-class Cruiser Stardeath in the Graildark Nebula during the conflict.
 * Omna Squadron - Omna Squadron fought in the Taros Campaign. It was assigned to convoy-protection duty after the Tau Lar'shi'vre-class Cruiser Io'Tar destroyed a troop convoy carrying an entire Imperial Guard regiment, the 8th Brimlock Dragoons.
