The Ghauri class of Assault tenders form the backbone of Imperial battle rider squadrons. A squadron
consists of three tenders each capable of carrying upto 3 Aibak class riders. The black globe generator can
serve both offensively and defensively. However its primary role is defensive where the enemy manages
to penetrate the rider screen and attack the tender with capital ships. The black globe allows the tender
some measure of defense until support arrives or it can disengage by jumping. Against craft without spinal
weapons the ship's 40 LSP Class X missile bays can launch devastating volleys of nuclear and/or standard
missiles. That combined with its relative agility makes it a hard opponent to catch and destroy.
The most prominent squadron of the Ghauri class is the 871st Battle Rider squadron, "The Eyes of Death".
The squadron consists of 3 Ghauri class tenders Taimur, Mahmud & Nadir. They carry 9 Aibak-B class
riders. The squadron was used extensively in raids against the Zhodani forces during 5FW. The squadron
chalked up an incredible record of destroying over 15 million displacement tons worth of Zhodani shipping
including combat vessels without losing a single rider.

The Aibak class of riders form the backbone of the Imperial Rider squadrons. Inspite of their relatively small
size they pack an enormous punch with their spinal - N meson gun. Contrary to what might be expected
they are well protected and highly agile craft. Standard deployments are on board Ghauri class Attack
Tenders which carry 3 Aibaks. However all Imperial Tenders have the capability of carrying these craft and
several planetary governments construct them as core ships for system defense squadrons.

The Aibak-B is a specialised battle rider equipped with Black Globe generators. These ships are built in
limited quantity and usually no more than one squadron (9-riders) is available per sector. This is primarily
due to Imperial Naval High Command reluctance to put Black Globe generators on such small craft. Their
role is highly specialised and is basically to penetrate heavy defenses to accomplish some mission or to
surprise enemy defenses. To this end the black globe is used at full on until the whole squadron has closed
wih the enemy. In fleet actions they are sometimes used to penetrate the enemy fleet and reach its "rear"
before the main force engages. Once engaged the low factor Black Globe is of limited use and is usually
turned off. Additionally the lack of jump drives means that the globe cannot be used to protect it while the
ships attempts to jump. When properly deployed the Aibak-B can be highly devastating to prepared enemy
defenses.
