==Design==
A compact, FTL-equipped craft designed for both atmospheric and space-based operations, the multipurpose Raptor was typically utilized by the post-fall Colonial Fleet for reconnaissance missions, rescues, and emergency evacuations. Raptors also assisted Viper squadrons in a combat support role, deploying electronic countermeasures to jam Cylon Transmissions and guide weapons control signalsBattlestar Galactica 2004, episode: "Miniseries, Night I". Although their angular, utilitarian design limited their maneuverability, regular lightly armed raptors could also be reconfigured as combat/attack platforms.
With an arsenal of weapons fitted to hardpoints, this "Heavy" configuration featured wing-mounted KEW, ventral automatic cannons, and ship-to-ship conventional and nuclear missiles. Rocket launcher pods, each loaded with 12 missiles were mounted on either side of the cockpit. Operated by a two-person crew, consisting of a pilot and co-pilot/electronic countermeasure operative, Heavy Raptors could carry up to ten passengers or eight-mission-equipped MarinesBattlestar Galactica 2004, publication: "Ships of Battlestar Galactica"..
