Four Horsemen

Name given to the fleet of 4 extremely heavily armed Peregrine Class assault fighters used by the Orion Syndicate to raid the Meyara III fleetyards and hijack 15 Axis Class starships. The Four Horsemen were ambushed by the USS Atlantis near the Eagle Nebula and were destroyed, but not before the Atlantis got the location of the 15 ships from the lead ship's computer. The four ships were the Plague, Pestilence, Famine and Death. ("Upstarts" [BAN]).
