	The massive '''A-B Raider''' is an advanced form of [[Cylons (1980)\|Cylon]] [[Raider (TOS)\|Raider]]. It has a crew of six, consisting of two Cylon androids ([[Andromus]] and [[Andromidus]]) and four 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.
