The Kadeshi Swarmer, as it is called by Kushan Fleet Intelligence, is the mainstay fighter of the Kadeshi fleet, which guards the Great Nebula. These fighters may have been small, but in truth were a fearsome enemy of any vessel that dared to cross their path. They were responsible for the destruction of dozens of cargo vessels that passed through the nebula before the nebula was cut off from the galactic shipping lanes. Swarmers were named for their tendency to attack in large numbers like a flock of flies. A dozen Swarmers could reside within one group and two or three of these groups could easily rip any ship apart with their merciless firepower combined with their rapid speed as these encircle their targets. They are among the greatest threats faced in Homeworld.
The only major weakness of the Light Swarmer is their low fuel tanks, which after a minute or so forces the Swarmers to dock with their fuel pods. If they do not reach the pods or if the pods are destroyed, the Swarmers will float in space without hope of recovery.
The Light-Swarmer held the distinction of being the first Kadeshi vessel to come face to face with the Kushan during that race's attempt to pass through the nebula while journeying to Hiigara. The Kushan Ambassador met with the Kadeshi Ambassador, who's personal Swarmer craft was dwarfed by the size of the Ambassador's heavy corvette.
The Kadeshi Advanced Swarmer builds on the Light Swarmer design by boosting armour, weapons and engine.
