The Cylon Raider is the standard multi-purpose fighter craft of the Cylon fleet. It is an elliptical disk-shaped craft, wider than long, with twin Tylium-powered engines. It has linked turbolasers located in mid-wing sections that can be concealed by retracting the wings slightly. Modified versions of the Raider exist including a remotely piloted version, and possibly a bomber. Unlike Colonial fighters, the Raider seats three crewmen; one commander who oversees the ship, one gunner, and a pilot. The commander sits in an elevated position behind the other two crewmen. Like the Colonial Viper, the Raider is equipped with a Life Form Indicator for reconnaissance.
