The massive '''A-B Raider''' is an advanced form of [[Cylons (1980)|Cylon]] | The massive '''A-B Raider''' is an advanced form of [[Cylons (1980)|Cylon]] [[Raider (TOS)|Raider]]. It has a crew of five, consisting of two Cylon androids ([[Andromus]] and [[Andromidus]]) and three Centurions. Its exact offensive and defensive capabilities are unknown. It seems to possess an offensive range far greater than that of conventional Raiders (and [[Viper (1980)|Colonial Vipers]]) as well as some form of communication jamming. | ||
In the only recorded encounter, Captain [[Kanon]] and Lieutenant [[Britton]] discover the A-B Raider while on recon duty in a two-seat version Colonial Viper. Unable to damage it with the Viper's conventional weapons, Kanon rams the A-B Raider, crippling both craft. The A-B Raider's trajectory causes it to crash on the surface of [[Earth (TOS)|Earth]], destroying all its occupants except its commander, Andromus, and [[Centuri|one of the Centurion pilots]]. While Lieutenant Britton is injured in the collision, the Viper manages to limp back to ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' to report their findings on this new threat and the fact that the Cylons have discovered Earth. | |||
The A-B Raider is fitted with an [[automatic detonator]], a self-destruct device that is capable of destroying the craft entirely. After crash landing outside of [[New York City]], Andromus activates this mechanism, noting they had [[micron]]s until it destroyed the ship. The [[w:New York State Police|New York State Police]] that respond to the crash are unable to find anything ([[The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I]]). | |||
