Necron fleets have so far always included numbers of smaller ships roughly equivalent to Imperial Escort vessels. Although there have been two instances of such craft operating on their own, this seems to be the exception rather than the rule, and it appears that they are usually very closely controlled by the Tombships or Harvest ships of the fleet. The Jackal is the slightly larger of the two types of Escorts so far encountered, and has been present in every Necron fleet so far engaged by Imperial forces.
Jackal Class Raiders are armed with Lightning Arcs and teleportation Portals allowing deadly swarms of Necron Warriors and Scarabs to be launched directly into enemy ships.
