 }}==Description==
 The Racketeer launches long range missiles that can disarm key enemy defenses or units before assaulting them. Only one Racketeer is needed to keep a target disarmed, so pick a different target for each Racketeer. It is excellent at depleting the energy of enemy shields and rendering large units harmless.

+Racketeers can also level the playing field; 3 Racketeers can disarm 3 units, meaning the enemy has 3 less units that can deal damage. This can change the tide of battle, such as if Rogues are engaged in a skirmish with other skirmishers, the Rogues can have an easier time dodging the enemy's missiles, or when an assault arrives, the Racketeer can stun the riot units and allow Bandits to move up and destroy the assault units.
 Racketeers are helpless against large forces of raiders; defend them with Outlaws.
