Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, one Raider II-class corvette, the Corvus, was utilized by the elite Inferno Squad, led by Captain Iden Versio and by the time of the Battle of Endor, it was still used by the squad. Gendling's inability to act decisively resulted in the destruction of one corvette and critical damage to the other corvette. Two Raider-class corvettes were part of an Imperial task force ordered to eliminate insurgents in the Umbara system led by Admiral Carlou Gendling.

The ships also had a small hangar on the starboard side, that could hold at least 2 TIE fighters. These ships could be operated with a pilot and a co-pilot and were armed with ion cannons, dual heavy laser cannons, concussion missiles, and turbolasers. The dark grey protrusions on the craft were actually solar collectors, nearly identical to those found on the starfighters of the TIE-series. The Raider-class corvette was a sleek and roomy vessel at 150 meters for a sizeable crew and featured 3 engines and a hyperdrive. A Raider II-class corvette under attack by Rebel fighters.
