History-
The Polliwog-Class was designed soon after the formation of the Orion Pirates out of a need for new-design raider craft, nimble and modular. The vessels were at first not recognized as being Orion, being dubbed "Unidentified Raider Craft", finally, a battle between the USS Enright and two Polliwog-Class Light Raiders occurred in 2243, and one was captured, the Green Oriona aboard discovered and questioned, with some valuable data on the Orion Pirates being discovered.
The Polliwogs quickly became outmoded, and the last three were retired in 2273 after a particularly rough convoy raid in the Triangle.
