Propulsion: ??
Armament: At least one missile launcher

Not much is yet known about this craft.

The first Cylon Heavy Raider is seen landing near Helo and Boomer near the end of Season 1 Colonial Day on Cylon-Occupied Caprica. A heavy raider is also the craft that crash landed into Galactica's unused starboard flight pod during Season 2 Scattered. The heavy raider is shown during Scattered to have both projectile armament and troop transport capabilities.

A force of five Centurions landed in a heavy raider on Kobol and dismantled its missile launcher and Dradis assembly in an attempt to build a surface-to-air missile battery. They intended to shoot down any search and rescue parties that Galactica would send to find Raptor 1's crew. (Fragged)
