Description: The Raptor is the Fleet workhorse. It was designed for a number of missions, including search and rescue, advance scouting, covert reconnaissance, and marine assault and EVAC. In group missions, it serves as communication and electronic warfare support for Viper attack squads. The Raptor is capable of atmospheric flight and has an FTL drive (it can make up to 20 jumps before refueling).

The Raptor is loaded with a full DRADIS package and advanced wireless, surveillance, and sensory systems. It can perform short and medium-range DRADIS scans, and analyze the data collected according to a number of parameters. Most frequently, the ship collects and reviews data from planetary surfaces, searching for minerals, atmospheric conditions, or signs of life.

As a transport vessel, the Raptor is capable of carrying ten marines and their assault gear.

Due to its shape, bulk, and relatively slow speeds, the Raptor is not a good fighter craft. It was not designed for space superiority missions. Normally unarmed, the craft has several hardpoints which can carry small weapon packages. In one case, a Raptor was piloted into a Cylon basestar bearing a nuclear weapon.
