These vessels are armed with forward and aft plasma cannons and possessed primitive shields. Although their weapons were considered formidable to a Y class freighter, Nausicaan raiders were outmatched by starships, whose spatial torpedoes were capable of piercing Nausicaan shields.

Three of these vessels, operating out of an asteroid base, attacked the and raided its cargo for a period of several months during 2151. Fortunately, the Starfleet vessel Enterprise was able to offer assistance during that year.
