Fast and slight, the Cobra is a dedicated torpedo platform. Cobra-Class Destroyers are often seen fighting alongside Space Marine formations. 

Armed only with a small [[Macrocannon|Macro turret]] and two [[Torpedo]] tubes. The weapons battery is a purely defensive measure, for when the Cobra is attacked by enemy escorts. However, due to its small size, large engine signature, and relatively poor armour, a single ''Cobra'' is incredibly vulnerable on its own. Furthermore, the Weapons Battery is short-ranged and is almost never used to attack a capital ship, as it simply is not powerful enough to do any real damage. 

This shouldn't be a problem, however, due to the long-range of a torpedo. Moreover, as part of a squadron of three however, those torpedos suddenly become a threat even for slower and larger ships. Just don't allow them to hit you back. Like their imperial navy counterparts, the Ad-Mech Cobra is also a dedicated torpedo platform that functions nearly the same.

There is a special variant of Cobras called the ''Widowmakers'', which drops its macro turret for an enhanced sensor suite that increases its sensor range immensely. In this regard, it can serve as a long-distance spotter for other ships, and with its small profile and high speeds, allows it to detect enemies, then zip away out of danger without being seen in return.
