Fodder.
Fodder refers to worthless ships added to an attack/raid so that defending ships or defenses attack the fodder rather than the ships that are actually carrying out the attack.
Fodder also refers to adding worthless defenses to a colony so that attacking ships attack the worthless defenses, rather than the defenses that will actually defend.
The term is derived from "cannon fodder", [1] a derogatory tern for "disposable troops" who are expected to sacrifice their life to preserve the life of other more valued members of the team.
Typical fodder ships include Hermes Class, Artemis Class, and Atlas Class.
Typical fodder defences include Missile Battery, Laser Cannon, Pulse Cannon and Particle Cannon.
